Stalingrad is a transfer station of the Paris Métro . It is served by lines 2 , 5 and 7 .
location
The metro station is located on the border between the Quartier Saint-Vincent-de-Paul in the 10th arrondissement and the Quartier de la Villette in the 19th arrondissement of Paris . The elevated station of line 2 lies lengthways above the median of Boulevard de la Villette, the station of line 5 in the tunnel is parallel to the north - offset in the longitudinal axis to the east - at the level of the intersecting streets Rue de Tanger and Rue de Kabylie. A little off the beaten track, north of today's Place de la Bataille-de-Stalingrad, under the Avenue de Flandre, the line 7 station was created.
Surname
After the Rue d'Aubervilliers, which began there, the station on line 2 was initially called "Aubervilliers", while that of line 7 was called "Boulevard de la Villette" in the first few decades. On October 6, 1942, they were jointly named "Aubervilliers - Boulevard de la Villette", and the station on line 5, which opened shortly afterwards, was also named that way.
On February 10, 1946, the metro station got its current name after a section of Boulevard de la Villette had been renamed Place de Stalingrad the year before. This happened two months after the end of World War II in memory of the reconquest of the city of Stalingrad by the Red Army in the Battle of Stalingrad . In 1993 the square was named Place de la Bataille-de-Stalingrad.
history
The second eastern extension of Line 2 (until 1907: Line 2 North) was opened on January 31, 1903 by the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP). At that time, the section from Anvers to Bagnolet (since 1970: Alexandre Dumas ) was put into operation. The “Aubervilliers” station did not go into operation until a few months later. At first, the trains passed through without stopping.
On November 5, 1910, the separate underground station "Boulevard de la Villette" of line 7 was opened not far from it, which initially had no direct connection to the station of line 2. The station on line 5 was added on October 12, 1942, and it was only when it went into operation that there was a direct transfer option between lines 2 and 7.
Between 1911 and 1967, line 7 split from the Louis Blanc underground station , with trains coming from the south alternating between one of the two branches. Your station was therefore only served by every second train on the line. This state lasted until December 3, 1967, when the eastern branch became an independent line 7bis .
description
All three stations are 75 m long and each have two side platforms on two main tracks. The elevated station of line 2 is located on a 2.2 kilometer long viaduct section . The viaduct was built to the tracks to the main station Paris-Est , the west are at a cutting station, and the ship channel Canal Saint-Martin on the east side not in a deep tunnel having to drive.
The underground station of line 5 is parallel to line 2 and lengthways under the northern carriageway of Boulevard de la Villette. It is the lowest of the three stations, as the railway tracks to the west and the canal to the east. Line 7 crosses the first two at almost right angles, its station is located northeast of it under Avenue de Flandre. Both tunnel stations are under elliptical , white tiled vaults.
There are entrances to the elevated station at both ends of the station, the eastern one takes you to the station of line 5. There are further entrances to the underground stations at the confluence of Rue de Kabylie (there is an additional exit with escalator) and Avenue de Flandre. The entrance on Rue de Kabylie is under the elevated railway viaduct, which is marked by a candelabra designed by Adolphe Dervaux in the Art Deco style and bearing the word METRO.
vehicles
Conventional trains that run on steel rails run on all lines. Short two-axle vehicles with wooden superstructures initially ran on Line 2; the trains consisted of one motor car and three sidecars or six sidecars and one motor car at each end of the train. From 1914 to 1981 the line was operated by five-part, green-painted Sprague-Thomson trains. Since it was not to be converted to vehicles with rubber tires in the medium term , the MF 67 series was launched in 1979 , completely replacing its predecessor within two years. Series MF 01 series vehicles have been in use since 2008 , and mixed traffic with the MF 67 trains prevailed until 2011.
The five-part Sprague-Thomson trains on line 5 were replaced from 1978 by vehicles from the MF 67 series, which were followed by MF 01 trains from 2011.
Conventional five-car trains of the MF 77 series run on Line 7 . Between 1971 and 1979 trains of the MF 67 series ran there, before that of the Sprague-Thomson type.
