Metro line 14 can carry de-France in line with the aim to relieve congestion on 35,000 passengers/hour with a minimum 85-second metro line 13 by 25% and improve service quality for interval between trains – an unprecedented its 650,000 daily users. The works included a 5.8-km performance level implemented by RATP. Île-de-France extension with four new stations built in a hyper-dense Mobilités has carried out investments on behalf of the urban environment and the construction of a new train region’s residents to achieve this high-stakes project, maintenance and storage depot. This involved major purchasing new 8-carriage MP14 trains (compared to technological feats with three tunnel boring machines six carriages currently) with greater capacity to provide operating simultaneously, a new command station for passengers today and tomorrow with a more efficient the line, a new automatic control system, new trains and comfortable experience. Multiple improvements at and more, with delivery completed in the height of a existing stations were required to accommodate the pandemic. longer, higher capacity trains to ease passenger flows at stations and comply with safety standards.

A brief history A technical and technological feat Metro line 14 opened in 1998 and was the first Throughout this project, RATP has successfully automated line in the Paris metro system. met several major challenges. Firstly, regarding It was first extended in 2003, between Madeleine the scale of construction work, with stations reaching and Saint Lazare stations, and then a second time depths of 26 metres compared to 10–15 metres for in 2007, from Bibliothèque François-Mitterrand to the earliest stations on the network. Stations on Olympiades stations. Today, the extension to Mairie metro line 14 also stand out due to their horizontal de Saint-Ouen – Région Île-de-France has set metro dimensions, with 120-metre-long platforms, while line 14 on another development phase, with further existing platforms are typically 75 metres. extensions planned south to Orly by 2024 as part of Secondly, the route of the tunnel runs through the Grand Paris Express, and north to Saint-Denis- a particularly dense part of the city with the water Pleyel. table close to the surface, sandy soil in sections, a building to be conserved above ground and immensely complex site right-of-ways to manage.

Metro line 14: accessibility for all

Every station on metro line 14 is accessible for wheelchair users travelling independently, from street level to train. Lifts have been installed in every station facilitating movement around the line for reduced mobility passengers. Furthermore, the new rolling stock currently being rolled out on metro line 14 (MP14 trains) has six priority seats in each carriage (four currently) reserved for priority passengers, and one space to accommodate wheelchair users at the front and rear of the train. 16 A NEW MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE DEPOT

The metro line 14 to Mairie de Saint-Ouen – Région île-de-France extension required a new train maintenance and storage depot to be built to accommodate the new greater capacity, 120-metre-long trains. The facility where metro line 14 trains are repaired, stationed and cleaned is located in the new Saint-Ouen Docks district.

LATEST GENERATION TRAINS FOR METRO LINE 14

Designed by Alstom and fully financed by Île-de-France Mobilités, these 8-carriage trains are 120 metres long (compared to 90 metres currently) to accommodate the rise in traffic on metro line 14, projected to double from 500,000 journeys/day today to 1 million journeys/day by 2024. This automated metro line will then be the busiest line in the regional metro system.

In terms of design, the MP14 offers clean-lined The MP14 is the first metro to meet France’s new aesthetic, signature lighting and visual coherence accessibility legislation introduced in July 2019. with the platform screen doors at stations.

The metro line 14 extension to Mairie de Saint-Ouen – Région île-de-France is the first section of the future Grand Paris automated metro network to enter into service. Inspired by this modern image of the future metro, the project set out to lead by example and implemented environmental innovation from the design phase of the new infrastructure.

The metro has been a place of artistic expression pretty much since the first train left the station. From the Art Nouveau canopies designed by architect Hector Guimard through to Kiosque des Noctambules by Jean-Michel Othoniel, the association between Paris’ public transport and art has long been a fount of creativity and innovation, elevating the image of both the metropolitan transit system and the city of Paris whose histories are inextricably linked. The first step of this ambitious and original policy is to give stations a complete makeover: public spaces entirely personalised to create a whole new atmosphere, immersing passengers in another world.

The new stations along the metro line 14 extension are Did you know? the latest blank canvases to receive art installations. As the installation sites are public In 2021, three stations will be decorated with as many artworks: spaces, the artworks must be able to Pont Cardinet, Porte de Clichy and the new metro line terminus resist the effects of time and be easily at Mairie de Saint-Ouen – Région Île-de-France. maintained by the cleaning teams.

TOBIAS REHBERGER’S ARCH AT PONT CARDINET STATION

This sculpture by German artist Tobias Rehberger will be a permanent beacon at the station entrance with a shape reminiscent of Hector Guimard’s canopies. The commissioners of this piece co-financed with French property developer Emerige were drawn to the arch’s fun, colourful aspect as well as its hidden “binary clock” function.

What sets the installation apart is that it is composed of two parts: the first, on full display to the city, is integrated into the metro station entrance and the ground level of a futuristic building, aimed at passers-by. The second part, inside the station, will be visible to metro line 14 passengers. Only this second part will be unveiled to passengers in December 2020, just in time to mark the metro line extension entering into service. The exterior part will be installed in spring 2021.

To Breathe is an immersive installation that plays on the principle of light diffraction to create a multisensory and poetic atmosphere designed to draw the attention of passengers of all ages. Rays of light unfold into myriad rainbow spectrums on the glass partitions surrounding the passenger concourse looking on to the metro platforms, forming a kind of three-dimensional paint that transforms the space. Each moment becomes a unique experience.

The installation will be unveiled to the public in spring 2021. 23

The installation, populated by 88 figures in motion, thrusts passengers into the epicentre of this “immersive and dynamic” artwork making them integral parts of the piece.
