The MP 89, 05, & 14 stocks, along with the steel-wheeled MF 88, 01, (& upcoming 19) stocks, all share similarities with the NYC R211Ts, in the sense that they're all articulated. The MP 89CCs possess a mix of "hard shell" & "soft shell" gangways, easily making them comparable to the R211Ts in that sense.

The MP59s had a temporary reprieve, but it looks like they were finally retired with the opening of the Line 11 extension. Video of the MP59s coming soon! 😀

I wonder what they're doing with the extra MP89 CC cars

Yes ! SNCF train and Paris RER /transilien are left hand running. Only in Alsace région are right hand running The metro in Paris in right hand running ,but Orly val and CDG val are lef thand hand running.....France is complex ^^ For the future 15-16-17-18 we don't know yet.

Just like in Montreal

Paris invented the tiré metro because it has faster acceleration and quick breaking for short station gaps and for automatic metros like line 14 it is much better for precise breaking

@@JKD6991 Montreal actually got the design from Paris because Drapeau and Saulnier looked to France for inspiration. The rubber tires allowed for the metro to handle steep grades like those found when it transitions between certain major elevation changes around the Falaise and Mount Royal.

Are you talking about the horizontal wheels sticking out to the sides? Those are the power pick ups. This style of metro uses two power rails--one positive, one negative--on either side of the tracks that double as guide bars to center the rubber-tired cars on the rollways. We use the same system here in Montreal when we imported the technology back in the 1960's.

They are tires

@@owly6204There's both normal steel wheels (albeit with longer flanges) and automobile tires bolted to their side.

They are

Great video, for my part I live here in the Paris region, I know this line since I have already taken it several times when I came home from work. At the time I worked in Paris between 2005 and 2017 at the Pullman Paris Montparnasse hotel as a room attendant. There's another metro train that I particularly like after the MP 73, it's a similar metro train called MP 59. This one is my favorite, I really like hearing it start of a station since my childhood. I also took it when leaving for work in Paris from Gare du Nord station to Montparnasse-Bienvenue on line 4 of the Paris metro at the time too. I don't know if your next videos include my favorite train, which is the MP 59 which runs on line 11 of the Paris metro. This line which serves Mairie des Lilas-Châtelet I sometimes take to go to church on Sundays when I am on vacation. But very soon the MP 59 will disappear from service like the R32 two years ago after 61 years of service on the RATP network. It's hard to say goodbye to your favorite train that I won't see again when I take the metro back to Paris next month. The MP 59 will be replaced by the MP14 CC which means that this train is driven by a driver from the Paris metro. Basically I know each line of the Paris metro by heart, I can go to Paris and beyond to the other suburban towns located around Paris by the public transport existing in Île de France with my eyes closed because I am used to taking these modes of transportation since childhood with my parents when they were traveling back then for any occasion. Now I take public transport in Paris alone.
