At the time of publication of this video, there has been a major reshuffle of the rubber-tyred fleet due to the introduction of the MP 14 on Lines 4, 11 and 14. This resulted in the MP 59 being retired -late last month- (EDIT: some are reporting the MP 59 were in service as recently as early-June; I don't know what is going on) and the MP 89 CA and MP 05 moving to Line 4 (with some extra MP 14s to make up for the shortfall), which in turn resulted in the MP 89 CC moving to Line 6 to replace the MP 73. The MP 89 used to have six cars while they were on Lines 1 and 4, but they are being reduced to five cars to fit the Line 6 platforms.
The MP 89, 05, & 14 stocks, along with the steel-wheeled MF 88, 01, (& upcoming 19) stocks, all share similarities with the NYC R211Ts, in the sense that they're all articulated. The MP 89CCs possess a mix of "hard shell" & "soft shell" gangways, easily making them comparable to the R211Ts in that sense.
The MP59s had a temporary reprieve, but it looks like they were finally retired with the opening of the Line 11 extension. Video of the MP59s coming soon! 😀
Dupleix holds a special place in my heart - a friend of my parents lived here so we visited during every autumn half term when I was small and the MP73 units were still factory fresh - thank you \m/
Paris Metro is what NYC Subway should’ve been if the money was allocated the right way instead of political people’s pockets. I was in Paris a year ago ( took Line 6 a lot) and for an old system, they really did a great job modernizing the system. Trains comes frequently, plus 4 new lines about to open.
Interesting how Paris uses a interesting metro system, instead of all other metro that has thin metal wheels, this one has tires, which has a more sleek and quiet look and sound. Very Interesting vid DJHammers!
Paris invented the tiré metro because it has faster acceleration and quick breaking for short station gaps and for automatic metros like line 14 it is much better for precise breaking
@@JKD6991 Montreal actually got the design from Paris because Drapeau and Saulnier looked to France for inspiration. The rubber tires allowed for the metro to handle steep grades like those found when it transitions between certain major elevation changes around the Falaise and Mount Royal.
Unlike all bar one of France's mainlines both classic and LGV Paris Metro trains are right hand running. To my knowledge the only one that isn't left hand running is the one to Strasbourg. Which until 1918 was part of Germany.
Yes ! SNCF train and Paris RER /transilien are left hand running. Only in Alsace région are right hand running The metro in Paris in right hand running ,but Orly val and CDG val are lef thand hand running.....France is complex ^^ For the future 15-16-17-18 we don't know yet.
Good video of the Paris metro, in the country I live in (Chile) there are also the MP89 trains but with the name NS93, they are the same ones that are in Paris, when I found out that those trains were manufactured In France I began to be interested in its transportation
you can see the tire specifications 315/95R 16 compare with your car Mp73 (4 door side) use resistor control and Mp89 uses Alstom GTO-VVVF 15:12 Kleber is the real western terminus of th line with 4 track and 2 platform.Charles de Gaulle Etoile is a loop (and in the past there was 2 track in the station now it's spur track).
I see tires on these cars, but what is going on with the part that is sliding along in-between them? You can hear the sliding sound while the cars move.
Are you talking about the horizontal wheels sticking out to the sides? Those are the power pick ups. This style of metro uses two power rails--one positive, one negative--on either side of the tracks that double as guide bars to center the rubber-tired cars on the rollways. We use the same system here in Montreal when we imported the technology back in the 1960's.
Great video, for my part I live here in the Paris region, I know this line since I have already taken it several times when I came home from work. At the time I worked in Paris between 2005 and 2017 at the Pullman Paris Montparnasse hotel as a room attendant. There's another metro train that I particularly like after the MP 73, it's a similar metro train called MP 59. This one is my favorite, I really like hearing it start of a station since my childhood. I also took it when leaving for work in Paris from Gare du Nord station to Montparnasse-Bienvenue on line 4 of the Paris metro at the time too. I don't know if your next videos include my favorite train, which is the MP 59 which runs on line 11 of the Paris metro. This line which serves Mairie des Lilas-Châtelet I sometimes take to go to church on Sundays when I am on vacation. But very soon the MP 59 will disappear from service like the R32 two years ago after 61 years of service on the RATP network. It's hard to say goodbye to your favorite train that I won't see again when I take the metro back to Paris next month. The MP 59 will be replaced by the MP14 CC which means that this train is driven by a driver from the Paris metro. Basically I know each line of the Paris metro by heart, I can go to Paris and beyond to the other suburban towns located around Paris by the public transport existing in Île de France with my eyes closed because I am used to taking these modes of transportation since childhood with my parents when they were traveling back then for any occasion. Now I take public transport in Paris alone.

I wonder what they're doing with the extra MP89 CC cars

Incroyable ! DJ Hammers in Paris ! Wow nice !
Very interesting video and great views from the elevated portion of track.💚👌👍

MTA really needs to take notes here, especially from the RATP!

Just like in Montreal

Great video! I had the opportunity to ride along the (6) during my 2009 visit.

Yes !
SNCF train and Paris RER /transilien are left hand running.
Only in Alsace région are right hand running
The metro in Paris in right hand running ,but Orly val and CDG val are lef thand hand running.....France is complex ^^

Yes! The Santiago metro is fascinating. We were there in 2007.
you can see the tire specifications
315/95R 16 compare with your car
Mp73 (4 door side) use resistor control and Mp89 uses Alstom GTO-VVVF
15:12 Kleber is the real western terminus of th line with 4 track and 2 platform.Charles de Gaulle Etoile is a loop (and in the past there was 2 track in the station now it's spur track).
Good job

My city❤️
Odd that the Paris Metro drives on the right when the French network drives on the left.
Looks like line 5 like Santiago subway
0:28 train jumpscare
Those train wheels almost look like tires!
They are tires
@@owly6204There's both normal steel wheels (albeit with longer flanges) and automobile tires bolted to their side.
They are
