Metro B extension works
Due to work related to the extension of the blue line, TCL had scheduled interruptions throughout the year. For example, in November, metro B no longer ran on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays after 9:15 p.m. These numerous interruptions allowed the continuation of automation and extension work, as far as Saint-Genis-Laval , 10 km from Lyons. From autumn 2023, the blue line should serve two new stations: Oullins-Centre and Saint-Genis-Laval Hôpital Lyon Sud.
