We continue our discovery of the Ile-de-France tramways! In this episode, we return to the railway line with the T7, which has been connecting Villejuif to Athis-Mons since 2013! The 11.2 km long line serves many areas of interest including the Rungis MIN and Paris-Orly airport, and is due to be extended to Juvisy, although the project has been stalling for several years. The T7 is operated with Citadis 302 trainsets just like the T2 and T8, with a capacity of 200 seats and carried around 10 million passengers in 2019, making it a relatively uncrowded line compared to the T3a (68 million) and T3b (66 million) Rolling stock: Citadis 302 (Alstom) Operator: RATP The shots were filmed during the winter of 2022 with my old phone, hence a slightly lower image quality and small sound artifacts sometimes, sorry for that! I hope you'll like it anyway :) ------------------------------------------------ Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:25 Villejuif - Louis Aragon 1:57 Line characteristics 2:42 Let's go!
