Tram Express Ouest

The Tram Express Ouest (known as the Tangentielle Ouest during the planning phase) is a future suburban tram-train line in France.

Route

The line is planned to be 19 kilometres (12 miles) long, from Saint-Germain-en-Laye to Saint-Cyr-l'École, in the western suburbs of Paris. It will have interchanges with existing SNCF Transilien lines L, N and U, and Réseau Express Régional (RER) lines A and C.

Project

The line will replace the current branch of L line between Saint-Germain-en-Laye Grande-Ceinture and Noisy-le-Roi, going further north to Saint Germain-en-Laye RER and further south to Saint-Cyr.

Alstom Citadis Dualis tram-trains will be used on the line.

Opening is scheduled for November 2018.
