Construction Ī train on line 14, direction Olympiades, at Gare de Lyon.įrom November 1989 until the end of 1992 exploratory shafts and galleries were dug tunnelling proper lasted from July 1993 until early 1995. In the first stage, EOLE would be but a simple extension of trains from the suburbs to the new underground station at Saint-Lazare and Météor limited to the central Madeleine – Bibliothèque run, thus leaving the main railway station of Saint-Lazare and the heart of the 13th arrondissement unserved. However, budgetary constraints forced the reduction of both. Given the pressing need, the council of Ministers of Michel Rocard's government approved the project in October 1989. The plans to go to Porte Maillot were eventually abandoned in favour of a terminus at Saint-Lazare, with the later possibility of extending the line to Clichy and assimilating the Asnières branch of Line 13, thus simplifying its complicated operation.
The project would fit well with the regeneration of the Tolbiac district on the left bank around the new Bibliothèque Nationale de France, in that arrondissement. In 1987, the RATP proposed "project Météor", (" MÉTro-Est-Ouest-Rapide") the creation of a new Métro line, from Porte Maillot on the edge of the 16th arrondissement to the Maison Blanche district in the 13th, an area poorly served by transport despite its large population. More importantly it proposed "Project EOLE" (" Est-Ouest Liaison Express"), the creation of a new standard gauge line, initially from Paris's eastern suburbs to Saint-Lazare, then an extension onwards to the western suburbs. Two proposals were made by the transport companies: the SNCF suggested a new tunnel between Châtelet and Gare de Lyon for Line D of the RER allowing traffic to circulate from the north and south-east of Île-de-France. To cater permanently to demand on the busy artery between Auber and Gare de Lyon new rail lines would have to be built. This improved efficiency and reduced the interval between trains to just two minutes, though an improvement ultimately insufficient to absorb the increasing demand. To improve service, the SACEM ( Système d'aide à la conduite, à l'exploitation et à la maintenance -"Assisted driving, control and maintenance system") was installed on the central run of Line A in September 1989. Paris's east–west axis across has long been heavily travelled: Line 1 of the Métro began approaching saturation in the 1940s, necessitating the construction of Line A of the RER in the 1960s and '70s which became the busiest urban routes in Europe (by 2010 there were more than a million passengers each working day). The original line 14 linked Invalides with Porte de Vanves until 1976, when it was merged into the southern section of the current line 13.
26 June 2007: The first southern extension from Bibliothèque François Mitterrand to Olympiades opened.16 December 2003: The first northern extension from Madeleine to Saint-Lazare opened.15 October 1998: The new Line 14 was inaugurated between Madeleine and Bibliothèque F.The line is being extended further north to Saint-Denis Pleyel and south to Orly Airport, as part of the Grand Paris Express project. The line has been used as a showcase for the expertise of the RATP (the operator), and Systra and Siemens Transportation Systems (constructors of the rolling stock and automated equipment respectively) when they bid internationally to build metro systems.Ī northward extension to Mairie de Saint-Ouen opened in December 2020. Before the start of its commercial service Line 14 was known as project Météor, an acronym of MÉTro Est-Ouest Rapide.

The first Paris Métro line built from scratch since the 1930s, it has been operated completely automatically since its opening in 1998, and the very positive return of that experiment motivated the retrofitting of Line 1 for full automation. The line goes through the centre of Paris, and reaches the communes of Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine and Clichy. It connects the stations Mairie de Saint-Ouen and Olympiades on a north-west south-east diagonal via the three major stations of Gare Saint-Lazare, The Châtelet–Les-Halles complex and the Gare de Lyon. Paris Métro Line 14 (French: Ligne 14 du métro de Paris) is one of the sixteen lines on the Paris Métro.
