Close

The line replaced a former branch of Transilien Line L between Saint-Germain-en-Laye–Grande-Ceinture station and Noisy-le-Roi station, going further north to Saint-Germain-en-Laye station and further south to Saint-Cyr station.

Route

The line is 19 kilometres (12 miles) long, with service taking 32 minutes. It connects the communes of Saint-Germain-en-Laye (north) and Saint-Cyr-l'École (south), in the western outer suburbs of Paris. It has interchanges with existing SNCF Transilien lines L, N and U, as well as Réseau Express Régional (RER) lines A and C. It partially runs on the former Grande ceinture Ouest line.

Vehicles

Alstom Citadis Dualis tram-trains, U 53800 series, are used on the line. They are 42 meters long and can accommodate up to 95 seated passengers with up to 155 standing.[5] They are capable of speeds up to 100 km/h.

In 2026, Île-de-France Mobilités ordered 15 tram-train units from CAF. These units are based on the CAF Urbos tram platform. These 75-percent, low-floor trams will be 42 metres (138 ft) long and 2.65 metres (8 ft 8 in) wide, and will accommodate up to 86 seated passengers with up to 170 standing. These trams will allow increased train frequency during peak periods, and will also support the planned extension of the line to Achères.[6]

Extension

An extension to Achères-Ville RER station is planned to open by 2028.[7] The line will branch off at Lisière Pereire with a route via Poissy RER station.
