MP 14 (Paris Métro)
The MP 14 (; ) is a Rubber-tyred metro, rubber-tyred electric multiple unit for the Paris Métro. Manufactured by Alstom as part of the Alstom Metropolis family of units, it is the seventh generation of the rubber-tyred class of trains to be used on the system and is used on Paris Métro Line 14, Line 14, Paris Métro Line 4, Line 4 and Paris Métro Line 11, Line 11. In the future, trains could be ordered for Paris Métro Line 1, Line 1 and Paris Métro Line 6, Line 6. The automated (driverless) version of MP 14 started entering service on Line 14 in 2020, and on Line 4 in 2022, and a manually operated version started entering service on Line 11 in June 2023. The roll-out of the MP 14 is causing a significant reshuffle of the Métro's rubber-tyred fleet. The Paris Métro will then redeploy their MP 89 CA (MP 89–6) and 11 MP 05 trains from Line 14 to Line 4, and redeploy their MP 89 CC (MP 89–5) trains from Line 4 on Line 6, and withdraw all remaining MP 59 and MP 73 tra ...

Rubber-tyred Metro
A rubber-tyred metro or rubber-tired metro is a form of rapid transit system that uses a mix of road transport, road and rail transport, rail technology. The vehicles have wheels with rubber tires that run on a roll way inside guide bars for traction. Traditional, Flange, flanged steel wheels running on rail tracks provide guidance through Railroad switch, switches and act as backup if tyres fail. Most rubber-tyred trains are purpose-built and designed for the system on which they operate. Guided buses are sometimes referred to as 'trams on tyres', and compared to rubber-tyred metros. History The first idea for rubber-tyred railway vehicles was the work of Scotsman Robert William Thomson, the original inventor of the pneumatic tire, tyre. In his patent of 1846 he describes his 'Aerial Wheels' as being equally suitable for, "the ground or rail or track on which they run". The patent also included a drawing of such a railway, with the weight carried by pneumatic main wheels runnin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
MF 77
The MF 77 (; ) is a steel-wheeled variant of the rolling stock used on the Paris Métro. First used in 1978, it now runs on Lines 7, 8, and 13. Unlike previous models, the MF 77 was designed for travel into the immediate suburbs of Paris, and as a result has a maximum speed of which has yet to be fully utilized. In addition, it sports a new, curved silhouette with a wider midsection. Its original exterior colors, blue and white, led passengers to refer to it as ''le métro blanc'', or white metro. The MF77 trains are to be replaced between 2027-2036 by the MF 19 trains, first on Line 13 in 2027, then on Line 8 in 2029, and lastly on Line 7 in 2033. After the MF77 trains leave line 7, the entire network will be composed of trains with open gangways, automated announcements and asynchronous motors. History Replacing the Sprague In the early 1970s, upon the completion of the MF 67 delivery, at the time the newest steel-wheeled trains on the Métro, many technological ad ...

MP 05
The MP 05 (; ) is a rubber-tyred electric multiple unit with driverless operation ordered by the RATP in 2005 for the Paris Métro. The original 49 units were designed to allow the older MP 89s on line 1 to transfer to line 4 in order to automate the line. An additional fleet of 18 MP 05s was ordered for deployment on the line 14 by 2017 in order to improve service frequencies and to prepare for the line's northern extension towards Mairie de Saint-Ouen, as well as provide service enhancements to Line 1. The trainsets were constructed by Alstom. The MP 05 trains are the second Paris Métro rolling stock to include air-conditioning, with the MF 01 rolling stock being the first. History Automation of Line 1 Following the success of the completely automated line 14 during the early 2000s, the RATP planned to automate additional lines. Automation would not only allow for Paris to remain as a model for technological innovations in the railway industry but also would p ...

MP 89
The MP 89 (; ) is a rubber tired variant of electric multiple units used on the Paris Métro. Designed by Roger Tallon, two types were built by Alstom for service on Lines 4 and 14, and has begun service on Line 6. The trains on Line 1 were moved to Line 4 between 2011 and 2013 to replace the older MP 59s, though only 48 trains are used for revenue service. The remaining four trains are stored either at Montrouge or Saint Ouen as operational spares. Description The MP 89 contains many features that are equipped in both subclasses. These innovative features made the MP 89 the first of its kind on the Metro and allowed the RATP to continue to equip its lines with the modernized stock. Among many features, the MP 89 is the first class of rolling stock to include the automatic opening and closing of doors. Instead of a passenger having to pull a lever or push a button to open the door in order to enter or exit the train, all of the doors on the platform side open and c ...
