République is an underground transfer station of the Paris Métro . It is served by lines 3 , 5 , 8 , 9 and 11 . So many metro lines meet, except in République , in the Paris network only in the Châtelet metro station . With around 42,000 passengers a day, the station was one of the ten most heavily frequented stations on the Metro in 2004.
location
The metro station is located on the border of the 3rd , 11th and 12th arrondissements of Paris . With the exception of the station on line 11, which is located along the east side under the adjacent Rue du Faubourg du Temple , all stations are located under the approximately 280 × 120 meters large Place de la République .
Surname
The eponymous square was initially called Place du Château d'Eau . After the Monument à la République was inaugurated in its center on July 14, 1883 , it was named Place de la République in 1889 .
history
The station went into operation on October 19, 1904 with the opening of line 3. In the first three months, this only ran between Villiers and Père Lachaise . On November 15, 1907, the station on line 5 went into operation. The station on line 8 followed on May 5, 1931, and that of line 9 was added on December 10, 1933. The last expansion of the station was the opening of the line 11 station on April 28, 1935.
République was the first station of the Paris Métro in 1910 to have a passenger elevator.
description
The extensive station structure has seven stations for five metro lines. The underground access routes and transfer connections are correspondingly complex. There are nine entrances on the surface, three of which lead to a distribution level connecting all stations south of the Monument à la République .
During the construction of line 3, the corresponding section of line 5 was already planned, which is why it will pass under the stations of lines 8 and 9 that were created later. Coming from Rue du Temple , the route crosses that of line 11 and then makes a slight curve under Place de la République . The station of line 3 already follows the axis of the avenue de la République . It has just been built and is located diagonally between those of lines 5, 8 and 9, with the section of line 5 being crossed under at an angle of approx. 30 ° in the area of the station at its eastern end. Erected in Belgian construction as a column-free vault, it has two side platforms on two main tracks. Approximately in the middle, a pedestrian tunnel that breaks through the vaulted ceiling crosses the station.
The station on line 5 has a similar structure. It is located in front of the northeastern front of the Place de la République and follows the axis Boulevard de Magenta - Boulevard Voltaire . The structure does not extend to the intersection of the line with line 3. Its south-eastern part is undercut by line 11, to the south of which there is a simple track change. In front of the north head there is an operating track that comes from line 8. Another operating track, which creates the connection to line 3, runs behind the platform in the direction of Bobigny, not visible to passengers .
The sections of lines 8 and 9 built there in the early 1930s were given platforms that were 105 meters longer and 30 meters longer. Although the tracks of both lines, coming from the Grands Boulevards , are next to each other, they were not laid out as common directional platforms that would have allowed a quick change. Each track has a separate station with its own platform. To the north-west of the facility there are track connections for both directions, line 8 has a siding to the south-west after crossing the southern directional track of line 9, under the Boulevard du Temple . At the southeast end of the square, line 9 passes under line 5 and then runs parallel to it below Boulevard Voltaire .
Line 11 comes from the west from Rue du Temple and passes under all other lines in the area of Place de la République . The station is the only one not under the elongated square, which it crosses almost at right angles, but under the Rue du Faubourg du Temple , which leads to the east . It has side platforms on two main tracks and, like the other stations, has a tiled vaulted ceiling. It is the only station that only has exits to the distribution level.
vehicles
Lines 3, 5, 8 and nine are operated with conventional material that runs on rails. Rubber-tyred trains run on line 11, which roll on runways on both sides of the track and are forced into the route by side track guidance beams.
- Line 3: Five-car trains of the MF 67 series
- Line 5: MF 01 (five cars, continuous train with car crossings)
- Line 8: MF 77 , five cars
- Line 9: Mixed traffic of MF 67 (probably until the end of 2015) and MF 01, each with five-car trains
- Line 11: since 1999 four-car trains of the MP 59 and (since 2009) MP 73 series
The "classic" Sprague-Thomson trains were in use on line 3 until 1967, line 5 until 1978, line 8 until 1975 and line 9 until 1983. On line 11, after the line was rebuilt in 1956, they were initially replaced by the "rubber" MP 55 series .
