The Tram Express Nord (known as the Tangentielle Nord during the planning phase) is a future suburban tram-train line in France.
Route
The line is planned to be 28 kilometres (17 miles) long, from Sartrouville to Noisy-le-Sec, in the northern suburbs of Paris. It will have interchanges with existing SNCF Transilien trains, trams, metro, and Réseau Express Régional (RER) lines A, B, C, D and E.[1] There will be six new stations and eight interchange stations.
Project
The project was granted approval in May 2008.[2] The project was planned by Syndicat des transports d'Île-de-France (STIF) but is being jointly managed by SNCF and Réseau Ferré de France (RFF).[3]
The Tram Express Nord will be built in two phases. The first phase, from Epinay-sur-Seine to Le Bourget, is planned to open in 2017; the remaining sections of the route (from Sartrouville to Epinay-sur-Seine, and from Le Bourget to Noisy-le-Sec) will open by 2023.
Tram Express Nord cost is estimated to €1.5 billion.
