Paris opens 10th tram line

24 June was the opening date for the first section (6.8km) of tram line T10 from Antony-Croix de Berny to Jardin Parisien, with interchange to RER line B at the former. 

 

A six-minute service is provided using 13 seven-section air-conditioned 44m Alstom Citadis XO5 and 25 000 passengers/day are expected within a year. The line, operated by RATP, is not connected to the other Paris tramways, so has its own depot at Châtenay-Malabry. An extension to Clamart will take the line to 8.2km by 2025. The whole project represents an investment of EUR 351M.
