Strasbourg - Saint-Denis is an underground transfer station of the Paris Métro . It is served by lines 4 , 8 and 9 .
location
The metro station is located on the border of the 2nd , 3rd and 10th arrondissements of Paris . The stations of lines 8 and 9 are located below the Boulevard Saint-Denis in a two-story location, west of the intersection of the Grands Boulevards with the Boulevard de Strasbourg. Line 4 is under the Boulevard de Strasbourg, north of the Grands Boulevards.
Surname
It is named after the Boulevard de Strasbourg and the Boulevard Saint-Denis . The Boulevard de Strasbourg was designed by Georges-Eugène Haussmann , it ran to the Embarcadère de Strasbourg, today's long-distance train station Gare de l'Est . From there, since August 12, 1852, the Paris – Strasbourg railway line built by the company “Compagnie du chemin de fer de Paris à Strasbourg” led to the Alsatian capital, Strasbourg, 502 km away .
The Boulevard Saint-Denis is the shortest section of the Grands Boulevards with a length of only 210 m. It is named after the Porte Saint-Denis at its eastern end , a triumphal arch on the site of a former city gate. The street led through this gate to the suburb of Saint-Denis , the place of the burial of many Frankish and French kings.
history
On April 21, 1908, the first section of line 4 from Porte de Clignancourt to Châtelet was opened. The station went into operation under the name "Boulevard Saint-Denis" on May 5, 1908, until then the trains drove through.
The station on line 8 was put into operation on May 5, 1931, just in time one day before the opening of the Paris Colonial Exhibition. On that day the line from Richelieu - Drouot was extended by approx. 8000 m to Porte de Charenton . Since that day, the subway station has had his current name.
Trains on line 9 first ran there on December 10, 1933 as part of the extension of the line from Richelieu - Drouot to Porte de Montreuil .
description
The station on line 4 was built in an open construction pit. In contrast to the elliptical cross-section that is more common in Paris, it has a horizontal metal ceiling. Longitudinal girders, which carry small vaults made of bricks, rest on iron support beams that are perpendicular to the direction of travel. It initially had the Paris standard length of 75 m, in the mid-1960s it was extended to 90 m.
The stations of lines 8 and 9 are aligned one above the other, with line 9 using the lowest level. They each have side platforms on two main tracks, massive supporting walls between the tracks, which are perforated in some places, give the impression of four single-track stations. The station on line 9 is rectangular, that of line 8 above has asymmetrically vaulted ceilings. Both stations were built from the start with a length of 105 m.
There are seven entrances from the street. The lamps and railings of the Art Nouveau entrances to Line 4 station designed by Hector Guimard were removed in 1931.
At the intersection of Grands Boulevards and Boulevard de Strasbourg, line 4 (above) and lines 8 and 9 (middle and below), which are located in a common shaft, cross at right angles. At about this height, line 8 has a simple track change .
vehicles
Until 1928, 5-car trains consisting of initially three twin-engine and later two four-engine railcars and sidecars ran on Line 4 . They were replaced by Sprague-Thomson trains , which were successively replaced by rubber-tired 6-car trains of the MP 59 series in 1966/67 . The MP 89 CC series is currently in use on Line 4 .
First, seven-car trains of the Sprague-Thomson type ran on line 8. From 1975 onwards, MF 67 trains came on line 8, which were replaced by the MF 77 series from 1980 . Since not all stations on Line 8 have been extended accordingly, only five-car trains are in use there today.
Sprague-Thomson trains, which were last used there, also ran on line 9 for decades. 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.
Remarks
- ^ Boulevard de Bonne Nouvelle - Boulevard Saint-Denis - Boulevard Saint-Martin
- ↑ CC means "Conduite Conducteur" (driver-controlled), in contrast to the driverless type MP 89 CA
- ↑ Because the stations of line 8 to the west of Richelieu - Drouot were initially only 75 m long, the last two wagons of a train continued to run empty from there, as they did not reach the edge of the platform
- ↑ The last Sprague Thomson train in regular service was on line 9 on April 16, 1983
