Marcadet - Poissonniers is an underground transfer station for lines 4 and 12 of the Paris Métro .
location
The metro station is located in the Quartier de Clignancourt in the 18th arrondissement of Paris . The station of line 4 is located lengthways under Boulevard Barbès south of its intersection with rue Ordener, and that of line 12 is located lengthways under rue Ordener east of this intersection.
Surname
It is named after Rue Marcadet, which crosses Boulevard Barbès, and Rue des Poissonniers, which crosses Rue Ordener. The Rue Marcadet takes its name from the hall name “La Mercade” (lat. Mercadus = market), which indicates a trading place where markets (the so-called Foire de Lendit ) have been held since the 7th century . The rue des Poissonniers (Street of the Fishmongers) follows a path of the fishmongers mentioned in 1301, through which these North Sea fish brought into the city.
History and description
The station on line 4 was opened on April 21, 1908 by the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP) under the name "Marcadet". At that time, the first 5000 m long section of line 4 from Châtelet to Porte de Clignancourt was put into operation.
On August 23, 1916, the "Poissonniers" station on Line A of the competing Société du chemin de fer électrique souterrain Nord-Sud de Paris (North-South) - initially without a connection to the Marcadet station - was added. At the level of Boulevard Barbès, the route crosses that of line 4 almost at right angles. After the Nord-Sud was absorbed by the CMP in 1930, line A was renamed line 12 on March 27, 1931. On August 25, 1931, an underground connecting passage was opened between the two stations and the resulting transfer station was given its current name.
Both stations are under elliptical , white tiled vaults, they have side platforms on two main tracks. The side walls of the station on line 4 follow the curvature of the ellipse, which run on line 12 - like those of all stations built by Nord-Sud - in a straight line and vertical in the lower area. The station on line 12 has the original length of 75 m, sufficient for five-car trains. Because of the overhead contact line initially on the north-south routes, it is slightly higher than the CMP station. As usual with the Nord-Sud, it was designed a little more pompously than the stations of the CMP.
In the mid-1960s, the station on line 4 was extended to 90 m and converted for operation with rubber-tyred trains . The station on line 12 was renovated from 2014 to 2016. The wall coverings that were installed in the 1960s were removed and the original appearance was almost restored.
The underground station can be reached via four entrances. The two entrances on the corner of Boulevard Barbès and Rue Marcadet are marked by masts with a yellow “M” in a double circle. Not far from there is an additional exit with an escalator. The entrances to the station of the former Line A are one behind the other in Rue Ordoner at the intersection with Rue des Poissonniers. The western one carries a red sign with the label METROPOLITAIN, before the takeover by the CMP it said NORD-SUD.
Passenger numbers
In 2012 6.2 million passengers entered the Paris metro network via the Marcadet - Poissonniers station.
vehicles
The vehicles on Line 4 run on nitrogen-filled rubber tires that roll on chassis beams. Six-car trains of the MP 59 series replaced the five-car trains of the Sprague-Thomson type that ran on rails between 1966 and 1967 . The MP 89 CC series currently operates on Line 4 .
On line 12, trains of the north-south type Sprague-Thomson ran initially, which differed in several points from the Sprague-Thomson vehicles of the CMP. A striking feature was the power supply of the leading railcar by means of a pantograph . After the takeover of Nord-Sud by CMP, this type of business was given up in the 1930s. In the 1970s, the north-south trains were eliminated in favor of the Sprague-Thomson standard design, and in 1977 modern trains of the MF 67 series came onto the line.
Remarks
- ↑ CC means "Conduite Conducteur" (driver-controlled), in contrast to the driverless type MP 89 CA
