'Mode': AROUND
Category: Subway/Metro
Getting TO/AROUND: The Paris Metro(politain) is the fastest and most convenient transportation system. The Metro opened on 19, July 1900, its first line from Porte de Vincennes to Porte Maillot (line number 1). Fulgence Bienvenue was the engineer in charge of construction, the architect Hector Guimard being responsible for the Art Nouveau entrances (see the photo - Abbesses station designed by Hector Guimard between 1898-1904). The system has over 200 km of track and 16 lines; the line 14 is completely automatized. There are 368 stations (not including RER stations), 87 of these being interchanges between lines. Every building is within 500 metres of a métro station. There are 3500 cars which transport roughly 6 million people per day.

Getting TO/AROUND: The Eurostar was arguably the most complicated and sophisticated train ever to ride the rails when it was introduced. From the outside, the trainset looks distinctly different from other TGVs, but retains a subtle air of familiarity. Quoted from the TGV Spotter's Guide, some basic specifications: Build Dates: 1993-1995 Territory: LGV Nord-Europe and points north Top Speed: 300 km/h (186 mph) Number in Service: 31 Supply Voltages: 25kV 50Hz AC, 3kV DC, 750V DC third rail (1.5kV DC for some) Traction:12 3-phase AC asynchronous motors, total power 12200 kW (16300 hp) under 25kV supply Length and Weight: 394 m / 752 tonnes Configuration: 1 power car + 18 trailers + 1 power car, 794 seats (see formations) Performance Metrics: 16 kW/tonne / 0.98 tonnes/seat / 15.90 kW/seat Pressure Sealed: Yes Spotting Features: yellow duckbill nose, low profile.
