Love it - but one thing I don’t understand is I rarely - maybe never? - actually see RERs using the metro lines… there are many stations with connections to both, but where are they actually sharing track?
Would love another forward-looking post about the planned expansions of Paris’ rail systems, or the expansion of cycle infrastructure which has been pretty massive, if not perfectly seamless.
Thanks! It’s actually not about sharing tracks with the metro. The train sizes are very different. It’s sharing between SNCF’s national railway tracks, which are used by intercity trains of all kinds, and regional trains operated by RATP and SNCF jointly.
Awesome piece, well done.
