Tramway Line T11 Express

Created in 2017, the T11 Express tram line allows you to travel from Épinay-sur-Seine to Le Bourget in about fifteen minutes. This express line has only 5 stops between the starting point and the terminus, going from the northeast to the northwest of the Paris suburbs. The T11 line does not pass through central Paris. It was created to facilitate travel between different municipalities in the near suburbs of Paris and to strengthen the public transportation network in the north of the capital.

Originally, this tram line was supposed to be called Tram Express Nord, then TLN and Tangentielle Nord. Finally, the name T11 Express was chosen. Currently, 8 municipalities are served by this tram-train line. An extension project to Noisy-le-Sec is planned by 2033.

Épinay-sur-Seine provides connections to the RER C, tram T8, and 6 bus and Noctilien lines. At the Épinay - Villetaneuse stop, you can transfer to the Transilien H. The T8 tram line is accessible from and to the Villetaneuse-Université stop.

Pierrefitte - Stains is a connection with the RER D. It is the only stop on the line in zone 4; the rest of the route is in zone 3. Finally, the terminus at Le Bourget allows you to reach the RER B and 9 Parisian bus lines.

Did you know? The T11 Express tramway has the status of a tram-train, which allows it to travel on both national railway tracks and dedicated urban tramway tracks. The T11 Express tram line requires less ground width, which has allowed for better integration of the infrastructure into urban areas.
