In 1992, more than 90 years after Paris's metro line 1 first opened, the T1 made its debut in the streets of the Paris suburbs, between Bobigny and Saint-Denis. While it has certainly expanded since then, now connecting Asnières and Noisy-le-Sec, its growth may not be over yet.

While work on extending and expanding Paris's metro network has been progressing steadily in recent years (you could say it's on track!), it seems that Île-de-France Mobilités (IDFM) doesn't plan to stop there, with numerous projects at various stages of development. Among these, a new extension of tram line 1 heading west, which is becoming increasingly concrete... and could very well come to fruition in just a few years!


From East to West

For several years now, extension projects have been announced for Paris's oldest tram line. To the east, the idea is straightforward: extend the line all the way to Val-de-Fontenay station. Work has already begun, particularly to develop the various spaces across the six new towns that will be served by the tram.

rave; to the west, however, things are a bit more complex. Indeed, a first section, connecting the current Asnières terminus to Petit-Colombes, is already under construction. And while it should be completed in 2024, it appears that the line will ultimately start operating in… 2032. But the westward extension shouldn't stop there, as the T1 is expected to eventually reach Rueil-Malmaison. An expansion that's becoming increasingly concrete, and whose opening is hoped for… 2031 – and should therefore operate independently for a few months!


Dozens of additional stations

In total, the T1 should gain no fewer than 41 new stations over the coming years (as well as the redesign of six existing stops), for a total route of no less than 40 km from end to end. A massive project, certainly, but no less useful, as it will create a number of interconnections, with RER A and E, for example, but also the future line 15, both in the east and west. And if 2031 seems far away, don't worry : in the east, the opening of a first section — from Bobigny-Pablo Picasso to Rue de Rosny in Montreuil — should happen before the end of the year, and for the rest, you'll "only" have to wait until 2029!
