Toulouse is preparing to experience substantial work these last years. Among them, the metro line C construction site slips somewhere between numerous urban projects and rearrangements attendant from 2023. This Thursday January 26Toulouse could finally discover a train from this famous line Cinstalled since yesterday at the Square Charles-de-Gaulle.
New trains
Line C, unlike lines A and B, will have air conditioning. The other big revolution will be that we can circular from one train to another without having to go out on the platforms ! In addition, line C trains will be produced by Alstomwhile the supplier of lines A and B was Siemens until then.
Expandable trains, a faster metro
The oars will be approx. 36 meters in length but maybe extendable up to 48 meters. It is estimated a transport capacity up to 286-386 passengers ! As for the question of speed, it is announced up to 5km/h faster than its congeners of lines A and B. (40km/h for 35km/h at the other two.) A godsend, when you know that the route of line C will be longer.
Appropriate brightness
As part of the journey will be outsidein the middle of the city, the light will adapt depending on whether the metro runs in a tunnel or viaduct. In short, the turfu is in front of us. The train will only be exhibited pendant 15 days at Square Charles-de-Gaulle, near the Capitole metro exit. So if you want to go take a look, it’s now or never to take advantage of it! Until his return in 2028Of course.
