    This line bends from east to west through the south side of Paris.
    This line is partially underground and for two parts become a “metro aerien” where it runs in a series of viaducts over the streets of Paris and the river Seine give in great view of the Eiffel Tower.

    The trains that run in this line are:
    RATP MP73 trains…..

    These trains run on pneumatic tyres so create a particular sound.
    Another cool thing about the trains is the door release mechanism which would work great with individually opening doors instead of the whole consist opening. upload_2022-2-24_17-32-28.jpeg
    The route is 13km in total and at each end of the line there are loops to allow the trains to always face one direction, these loops also allow trains to be stabled at night.

    This would be a great addition to the game considering how unique the route and stock is!

    I can immagine a french metro as a dlc away of the usual 3 countries. So they dont have to do the entire signalling new, just the one of that line.

    Would actually buy this.

    Excellent Idea can form a bundle called train Sim world 2 underground commute. comprised off Paris Metro line 6 France Boston Massachusetts MBTA Red Line or the American Frankfurt Am Main U-Bahn the MBTA Green Line. Another suggestion for the United States MTA 7th Ave or Flushing Line United Kingdom Metropolitan line London Underground Germany Frankfurt Am Main U-Bahn. That can be sold the same price as a normal route $29.99 US (€26.85 due to $1=89 eurocents February 24th exchange rate u.s. dollars to Euro) regular price in the Eurozone is $33.50 (€29.99 €1=$1.12) UK $33.40 (£24.99 £1=$1.33)

    I can't think of a single time I've even seen a rubber tyred train in a simulator. Would be something special for sure!

    Here is a map that shows how it functions in relation to the rest of Paris:

    I would absolutely like this line, especially since it brings a whole new type of rolling stock!
    Since one line might be a little short in terms of driving distance, I would suggest to make several ones in one Add-on: Line 6 and Line 2 (it would make a complete circle inside Paris) and another interesting one, why not? :D
    I wrote an article suggesting some routes some time ago, feel free to read and tell what you think about it! https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/paris-metro-lines.13658/
    Paris' Metro is definitely a whole interesting world...

    You’ve made a bump and on your video at 1:12 there’s an error you’ve showed an MP59 actually running on line 11 for the moment. From next September the MP89CC will start replacing the MP73 so it’ll be too late for DTG to records the sounds
