The subway station Porte de Saint-Cloud is an underground station of line 9 of the Paris Métro . With three platforms on four tracks, it is the widest station in the Metro network.
location
The station is located in the Quartier d' Auteuil in the 16th arrondissement of Paris . It is located just before the city limits under the Place de la Porte de Saint-Cloud.
Surname
It is named after the Porte de Saint-Cloud. The street led through this former gate (fr: porte) in the Thiers town fortifications to the suburb of Saint-Cloud . This bears the name of the "holy" Chlodoald , the founder of the local monastery that was later named after him as the patron saint.
History and description
The station went into operation on September 26, 1923, when the extension of line 9 by one station from Exelmans was opened. Until February 3, 1934, it was the western terminus of the line.
The spacious layout of the station is not only a result of the fact that it functioned as a terminus with downstream turning and stabling tracks. Special trains were planned for football matches in the Parc des Princes stadium via the “Voie Murat”, on which the Porte Molitor subway station was built , which would approach the Porte de Saint-Cloud station from the other side. In addition, the underground workshop Atéliers d'Auteuil is reached via the station. This has only been used by line 10 since 1934 , after line 9 had its own workshop (Atéliers de Boulogne) in nearby Boulogne-Billancourt .
The station once had five tracks on two central platforms and one side platform. One of these was supposed to serve the trains arriving from the “Voie Murat”, but this special service was never implemented. This enabled a track to be dismantled and the southeastern platform widened. The current regular traffic in the direction of Pont de Sèvres is handled via platform 2 on the northwestern side platform. To the south of this platform, track C branches off, which leads to the Atéliers d'Auteuil, and another in the direction of the turning and storage facility. The middle platform is framed by tracks 4 and 1, with track 4 reserved for trains leaving the parking facility. Track 1 is located between the two central platforms (" Spanish solution " without separation of boarding and disembarking passengers, the platform on the left in the direction of travel is not used) and is used for regular traffic in the direction of the city center, for which the southwesternmost platform 3 can also be used.
Unlike most Parisian underground stations, the 75 m long station has a rectangular cross-section. The side members rest on cross members, which in turn are supported on square pillars clad with white tiles. The six entrances from the street are partly marked with a yellow “M” in a double circle or with a candelabra designed by Adolphe Dervaux in the Art Deco style and bearing the word METRO.
vehicles
Line 9 is operated with conventional vehicles that run on steel rails. Initially, trains of the Sprague-Thomson type , which were last used there, ran. In 1983 the MF 67 series was launched . The MF 01 series has been increasingly used since October 2013, and the last MF 67 train ran on line 9 on December 14, 2016.
Surroundings
The Parc des Princes football stadium and the Stade Pierre de Coubertin multipurpose hall are located near the metro station .
