Paris-T1
In 1992 tramway was restored in Paris, after its closure in 1938. Line T1 (La Courneuve-Bobigny, few months later extended up to Gare St. Denis) was the first line to be opened in 1992, followed in 1997 by line T2 (Issy Val de Seine-La Defense), which runs on the eleder track of a local railway supplied by third rail.
. In 2003 T1 (whose track lies in the north-eastern part of the city) has been extended east up to Noisy-le-Sec (3 km); currently T1 interchanges with local railways (RER) at Gare St. Denis and Noisy-le-Sec, and with 3 metro lines at Bobigny, Corneuve and Basilique St. Denis. Further extensions are expected: western extension from Saint Denis to Asnières and Gennevilliers, southern extension from Noisy-le-Sec to Montreuil and Val de Fontenay RER station.
T2 (south-west) interchanges with local railways at Issy Val de Seine and La Defense, and with one of the metro lines at La Defense. Two extensions are in advanced planning phase: eastern extension from Issy Val de Seine to Porte de Versailles (transfer point to and from metro L12, tram T3), northern extension from La Defense to Bezons.
