She's back, this period when the metro is once again full to burstingwhere summer cyclists have abandoned their faithful steed for cause of cold and rush into the crowded trains that they “ hate » but take it anyway because there « is hot ». And to make matters worse, different work will take place over the coming weeksleading to all-out closures on three lines of the RATP network: 6, 12 and 14.
A dark day on the 6
The next Sunday December 8traffic will be interrupted all day on line 6 between stations Charles de Gaulle – Star et Trocadero. Of the bus de substitution will obviously be in place throughout the day, to ensure travel. They will circulate in both directions between 5:15 a.m. and 1:15 a.m.. The reason behind this closure? There infrastructure modernization with a view to the deployment of new MP89 trainsets which we have already revealed to you all the secrets. Well, we admit that, even if in principle it's a bit annoying, it remains a Sunday, and that it is more likely to impact tourists who wish to go to the Champs-Élysées or the Arc de Triomphe than anything else.
And two on the 12
On the pretty pine green lineit's not one, but good two days of hell to be expected: the Sunday 8, but also the Sunday December 15. Fortunately, this time, no traffic interruption all day, but simply from 10 p.m. to the end of the service. And like winter Sunday evenings, anyway, it's broth in front of the TV with a good blanketultimately it has very little impact on us to know that the line must also, undergo renovation work while we are already having sweet dreams. But hey, for a question of fairness and transparencywe know that it was still necessary to inform you.
We don't change good habits on the 14
Well, if you are regulars of line 14this news may not surprise you at all. Indeed, since September 9no trains are running between 10 p.m. and the end of service Monday to Thursday. And unfortunately, it will always be the case until December 19. The only light in this ocean of bad news, no total closure is expected on weekends of December, as was the case on numerous occasions during the previous months. But hey, we prefer to warn you, don't rejoice too quickly either, RATP has already announced that a new closure schedule would soon be available for month of January. See you in a few weeks to take stock.
