Chris Totty comments;
(a) The bits round La Motte-Picquet on lines 8 and 10 are a bit confusing especially as someone forgot to change the points so we ended up going back to clear them and starting again! Eventually we managed to pass through the four platforms of these two lines at this station.
(b) There is a training line which joins lines 5 and 2 from between Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est (line 5) and between Anvers and Pigalle (line 2). Off this line is a track into a platform which is a dead end. Champagne was served here around 3:00 a.m!
(c) When we got back to Porte des Lilas the first line 3b train of the day was in the platform occupying the turning circle so we had to do a bit of shunting to get back to the Haxo line junction and into the Cinema platform. Upon disembarking there was the most wonderful smell of fresh coffee and croissants which was served to all participants for breakfast.
(d) I don't know if ADEMAS are still doing these tours but they were about once every three months in 2003/2004 and at Euro 32 they were outstanding value.
