Tram Or Train Or Tram-Train, Again<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n … and is shown on the latest (and rather cluttered!) RER map of Paris and surroundings. It runs from Saint Cyr in the south over a former freight line …<\/p>\n … to a typically lengthy station name where connection is available with S N C F suburban line L. Originally these “proper” trains continued northbound but this section is now absorbed into T13.<\/p>\n At the northern terminus the tram stops short of the railway station which is all underground. BUT, as you would expect with Paris transport, there is a foot tunnel joining the two, seen below out of the window of the driver’s cab (far right).<\/p>\n At Saint Cyr, the tram terminus is at the eastern end of the rail station but at a lower level as per the departing train for Paris below right.<\/p>\n All the route is on either former railway tracks …<\/p>\n Frequencies were due to increase from the end of September 2023 …<\/p>\n … super impressive compared with the former big-train route!<\/p><\/div>\n So recent that it does not yet appear on the RER map.<\/p>\n Massy Palaiseau is upper left on the diagram connecting with RER B (<\/p><\/span>BLUE<\/span>); Epinay sur Orge is near the RER line C junction\u00a0 (<\/span>YELLOW<\/span>) and Evry Courcouronnes is bottom tight on RER D (<\/span>GREEN<\/span>).\n <\/p><\/span><\/div>\n <\/p><\/span><\/div>\n The official inauguration was in September 2023!<\/p>\n But it didn’t carry a single passenger until 8th December!<\/p><\/span><\/div>\n … and is called TramExpress Ouest on the above old planning map.<\/p><\/span><\/div>\n Evry Courcouronnes is <\/span>30 miles south of central Paris<\/span>. That is the distance of Guildford from Central London. T12 is the (very) rough equivalent of building a tram train line between Heathrow (connecting with the Elizabeth Line line) and Guilford (South Western Railway).<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Matthew and Luke wrote a few years later and John’s gospel was the last. These old men were recording all that they could remember themselves plus research from eye witnesses, before it was too late.<\/p><\/div>\n Rather than calling it Luke Part 2, the early church gave it the title of “Acts of the Apostles” but it is mostly about just two apostles; Peter and the arch persecutor turned missionary, Paul.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
