Paris trams

[Peter Mugridge]

Does anyone know the Paris tram listings please? I thought T3 stopped at 346 but the highest I have had today is 361... I am now wondering if the rest of my lists are short as well...

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matériel_roulant_du_tramway_d'Île-de-France This may be of interest! It seems that 347 - 363 are/will be a new batch of trams for the extension of the 3b.

 

[TRAX]

TFS (T1): 101-119, 201-216
Citadis 302 (T2): 401-466
Citadis 302 (T7): 701-719
Citadis 302 (T8): 801-820
Citadis 402 (T3a, T3b): 301-363
Translohr STE3 (rubber-tyred) (T5): 501-515
Translohr STE6 (rubber-tyred) (T6): 601-628

Units 347-363 on lines T3a and T3b have just been delivered to increase line capacity as both are full up and to prepare for the soon-to-be-opened extension of line T3b.

Thank you both; very useful.

One question - do 601 to 628 include what were originally going to be 516 to 539, as I have a note of those from when line 5 was being built but they seem to stop at 515?

 

[TRAX]

No. 501-515 are STE3s (3 sections, 25m) while 601-628 are STE6s (6 sections, 46m).

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Right, so 516 to 539 were never built and I can remove them from my list?

I'm not the only forum member over here updating the tram lists...

 

[TRAX]

516-519 will be built as they have been ordered to strengthen line capacity, although they are still not delivered even though they were supposed to arrive at the beginning of this year.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Thank you. Must be for peak strengthening then as the off peak was 12 out of 15 today and loading didn't seem to be excessive?

 

[TRAX]

You were lucky, the 5 trams are usually cram-packed and everyone is regretting having the short STE3 units, although they might soon be lengthened to STE4.
