    I am suggesting the Paris Metro line 6 for TSW 5

    Route Information

    • 13.6 km (8.5 Miles) long
    • 28 Stations
    • Rubber-tyred rolling stock
    • 750 V DC Third Rail Electrification
    Termini
    • Charles de Gaulle-Etoile
    • Nation
    Rolling Stock -
    With its distinctive Rubber-Tyred bogies, the MP 73 Is the main rolling stock on the 6.

    Also with rubber tyre technology, the MP 89-CC is the secondary stock used on the 6. This stock is also slowly replacing the MP 73.

    Route Facts

    • The 6 is considered one of the most pleasant lines on the Metro Network due to its many views of popular Parisian Landmarks, such as the Eifel Tower
    • The 6 is one of the few Paris metro lines with rubber-tyre technology.
    • The 6 is the 6th busiest Metro line in Paris.
    • The 6 connects with 15 other lines which Includes 11 Metro Lines, Three RER lines (A,B,C) and one Transilien line (N).
    Overall, I think this route would be a great addition to France's sparce amount of DLCs and it also gives the rush of a busy, scenic commuter line in the most visited city on the planet!

    That brings us to the end of my suggestion, thanks for reading :)

    Nice suggestion, at least this line isn’t fully underground and very scenic. Sadly after just 50 years of service they’re being withdrawn quickly and already half of the MP73 are decommissioned. This is the time to record sounds.

    Wikipedia isn’t accurate but the line 6 connects with:

    - 3 different RER lines (line A twice and lines B and C once)
    - 1 Transilien line, the N line.

    Thanks for the Info! Yes, its unfortunate the MP73 are being withdrawn. Gives a slim chance for sound recording.

    No problems. Unfortunate yes but to be honest it was quite necessary, it’s 50 years old and it costs a lot for the RATP to produce by themselves all the parts needed for maintenance. The other big reason apart for the reliability, was because the line 4 became driverless and no way, it was a question to withdraw the MP89 CC which are between 24 and 28 years old. Hence why they’re being replaced by the MP89 CC with one car removed and a very tiny light refurbishment.
