Église d’Auteuil - Least Used Paris Metro Station 🇫🇷
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 дек 2021
- In the 16th arrondissement of Paris there is a 'one-way' circular route of track that sits on Line 10 of the Paris Metro ... that's right! I've gone international headed overseas to meet up with a familiar face and do a Least Used Station on another metro system ... there's even a bin (poubelle) on the platform. What more could you want?
This is my friend Tim Traveller who lives in Paris, and we finally got around to doing a colloboration! So there's a video (with me in it) over on HIS channel too which you should also watch.
Tim's video on his channel is here: • The Disused Railway Wh...
RATP Metro Map, that's here: www.ratp.fr/en/plans
A quick note! The reason WHY it's the least used is becaue the RATP only count people coming IN, not coming OUT. And as trains only head west heading away from the centre of Paris, passengers don't come here if they want to head east into the city centre. If the RATP counted exits *as well* it may be very different ....
This comment is officially approved by Pedantry Corner ✔️
This kinda explains a lot, I was wondering why, of all places, people would abhor using the Metro in Auteil... Wich would be the least-used if one-way stations were not counted?
@@JeremiCzarnecki Excluding one-way systems and the brand new Line 14 stations, the least used is Pelleport on Line 3 bis.
Went into the comments to say exactly that, but you beat me to it !! Of course now we expect a series of least used on each line as well as all other European Metros !
RATP doesn't count passengers exiting the metro because you only touch in, not out in Paris. correct me if I am wrong, my knowledge is dated, it's been a while since I went to Paris
I love how Geoff butchered every single French station name and looked to Tim to save him. haha. Geoff you're a true Brit.
Bakerloo = lines 10, 11 and 12. Old stock, lesser used, have extensions planned that probably will never happen.
Central = line 1. Busy, frequent, touristy, goes out of the city both ends.
Circle = line 7bis. It's not a circle, the train never shows up, no one likes it.
District = line 4. It's a nightmare.
H&C = line 9. Loads of stops and painfully slow.
Jubilee = line 14. Shiny and modern even though it's from the 90s/00s, there's 4G signal, but the trains are super busy.
Metropolitan = line 8. Goes way too far out of Paris.
Northern = line 2. It's a mix of all worlds.
Piccadilly = line 7. Old and noisy, trains are busy, the wait is always super long for the correct branch.
Victoria = line 13. Living hell, there's ALWAYS a signal failure, and the colours on the line diagram match.
W&C = line 3bis. Everyone forgets its existance.
Elizabeth = line 18. It' won't see light of day before 2065 and neither should be considered subway lines.
Is Line 1, like the Central line, also the Tenth Circle of Hell during the summer?
It may change in the next years for line 11, since the extension to Rosny Bois Perrier will open in 2 or 3 years, with new stock.
Line 8, terminus Créteil Pointe du Lac : "Yay, I am the farthest station with the 6 km distance between me and the closer door of Paris !"
Metropolitan line, Amersham station : "Hold my beer."
@@geofftech2 Cheers! :)
@@bentilbury2002 The Tenth Circle of Hell year-round is Line 13. It's the Central line, but infrequent, much less touristy and more "popular", always suffers from random delays, and infamously absolutely overcrowded. Most people just tend to avoid it.
@@bentilbury2002 Line 1 has AC (when it's working... 🤷🏻♂️ 🤷🏻♂️ 🤷🏻♂️), but it's often very busy, so... kinda 🤷🏻♂️ 🤷🏻♂️ 🤷🏻♂️
You know it’s nearly Christmas when this collab happens
I just loved Tim’s genuinely joyful moment at 10:35
“I like it, I love it. Can we do this again sometime ”
Hey Tim! I loved your “moment”
🙂🐿
The "Testing Tim's Paris Metro Knowledge" Bumper KILLED me 😂😂😂😂
Back in July 2019 my university choir recorded a CD at Notre Dame d’Auteil, and you can hear the metro trains running underneath the church (which was obviously less than ideal recording a CD!)
Im so so happy about this collab, you two are probably the most sympathetic and nicest RUclipsrs out there :D
Thanks Martin! Very Kind. Can confirm Tim was lovely all weekend and we had a blast. Wished we’d had more time to film more !!
@@geofftech2 And more tea|!
Fantastic collaboration, I really enjoyed watching this video. The Paris metro is old, cramped, tiny and weird but it has lots and lots of character. Each time I visit Paris, I enjoy traveling on the metro. Lines 10 and 11 have one of the oldest rolling stock of all the metro system. If you ever plan to make a video about metro train noise, don't forget to include the excellent noise of the MP89 rolling stock on line 14 and especially the noise of Z20500 trains on RER C and D.
ok someone who appreciates the sounds of the metro as much as I do! I lived in Paris for a few years when I was a kid so I'm very nostalgic for the metro especially the sounds and maps.
@@ediecote1466 @darkknight8139 To enjoy it on youtube put "sounds of the Paris metro/RER" (in French) and you will get quick results.
I made some on my channel including the famous Z20500 series.
Geoff attempting French is easily half this video’s humor 😂
Attempting is the key word
I'm just here for the Bakerloo Brothers.... the collab we didn't know we needed! Off to Tim's video now.
The way how the doors are opened manually is sooo satisfying to watch!
Those doors terrify me to no end, the way they close was surely inspired by the guillotine, which was still in use in France when the MF 67 were introduced.
Three types of trains have these handles in the Paris Metro :
- MP59 (on the famous metro line 11, Geoff talks about it in the video...)
- MP73 (on lines 6 and 11)
- and MF67 (on lines 3, 3bis, 10 and 12)
MP trains are on tyres... and unfortunately MP59 and MP73 trains will soon be replaced on lines 6 and 11 by the newest MP trains (MP89, MP05 and MP14)
aaaaaaand... for "regional" trains/for the suburbs... VB2N coaches are the last trains which have these kind of handles. These old trains will also be replaced soon...
Other metro/train lines in Paris have newer push-button doors... unless their doors open automatically!
All the metro lines which have platform doors (lines 1, 4, 13 and 14) don't have buttons or handles on their doors because all the doors are opened automatically at each station.
Basically, all modern trains in the Paris Metro open their doors automatically, that's why MF01 (on lines 2, 5 and 9) also have automatic doors (without buttons/handles)
@@JeremiCzarnecki Pneumatic opening and closing system with shock absorbers.
Old Technology , but simple, efficient and reliable.
As a Brit who used to live in Paris, this is my fave “least used” ep ever! Love it! 🇬🇧🇫🇷
JARDINS PARTAGÉS !
Am I doing this right?
I think I was looking for this comment! But maybe in English:
ALLOTMENTS!
The skill with which Tim opened the door at 2:55 was a sight to behold! :)
Fantastic stuff; when does the single come out? 😜
this - Tim tells me - is how you differentitate between a seasoned Parisien, and a tourist! the 'knack' of knowing you can open the door half a second early is everything ... !
@@geofftech2 The first time I opened the door a couple seconds early, I stepped on the platform and nearly fell on my face because the train was still moving kinda fast.
@Geoff Marshall Better to wait for the Clac! , and lift the handle just after, because the slamming is the spring that is stretched.The door will open much faster than if you lift the handle well before ...
@fire surfeur And yes!!! unlocking the doors allows the doors to be opened below 7km / h, hence sometimes the surprise of tourists because the train still rolls a little (the driver let it "slide" to the end of the platform). There are experts used to getting off even when the train is still running a little.
Wow! Without knowing it was least used, I stayed in a hotel by this station during a visit to Paris in 2018. I remember thinking how odd it was that the trains only went in one direction. Thanks for the video, Geoff!
Bravo you two! This crossover NEEDS to continue.
Geoff and Tim, my two main man crushes, in the same videos. Today is a GOOD day!
I love the pure joy in Geoff's eyes at 4:11 as he passes back through the one-way station!
At the same time it's very funny because in addition we go up, and quite strong.
And they were lucky, they had a "noisy" trainset, which mews which adds to a "speed effect".we can hear it perfectly
This is awesome! More international stations please!
A beautiful collab. 😍 Thanks Gents.
Thanks matey! appreciated. 👌👌
Quelle collaboration magnifique Tim et Geoff. I used to work in Paris, this brings back memories of rush hour crowds and the door handles.Well done Bakerloo brothers!
Nice to see a video from France for a change. :) Also the Bakerloo Brothers, just brilliant. XD
"All the Stations-Paris Metro" coming soon?!?!?! :)
One of the best I've seen for ages. Genuinely jealous that you were in Paris. More colabs please.
1) I'd say Ligne 14 is more equivalent to the Victoria line in terms of ability to shift people effectively, and frequency.
2) When is "Coupe du Monde des Lignes de Métro" starting? I predict Ligne 14 vs RER A in the final...
What a great double act ! Throughly enjoyed this and hope to see more joint ventures soon.....
Hi you two! I've just slogged through the first ten days of an original Wet Winter Storm™ lie we used to have 25 years ago in the San Francisco area.
I know, I said to the computer, I'll watch some Tim Traveler and Geoff, and then some Geoff Marshall and Tim. They'd never do a video in the rain. This'll cheer me right up.
lol
not all metro lines have rubber tyres! oh wow...i didn't know that....love that squishy sound
'Sortie' is one of my French favourites
I rode on the Paris rail network back at the start of 2020 when I visited Disneyland. Went on the RER C to Bibliotheque Francois Mitterand, switched to the M14 and then at some point transferred over to the RER A to get to Marne-La-Valee Chessy where the park is. This was my first time riding on a major city's public transport network and it was really fun, loved the autonomous M14 trains (and obviously loved my time at Disneyland). Also the Pass Navigo was cool, I still have mine so I'll just load it back up when I go to Paris again and need to use public transport!
Absolutely great video Geoff love it. Reminds me of your older ones. Its just great. Thank you.
What an amazing team up!!! Well done, Gentlemen. This was brilliant!!!
This is a most welcome development. Loved the collaboration and the Paris metro content. More of this please!
Great video! It’s amazing how you find out about all these stations!
Geoff, you should've exclaimed HELLO at the beginning
It feels so funny knowing that Geoff walked the same platforms and rode the same tracks I did ;)
Literally watching this on line 10, although way more central in the 5th, where some people actually use it. (although not that much)
@D Davies I don't think he's planning on moving to France, and to do toutes les gares he definetly would have to.
Love love love this collaboration! 👏
What a delightful collaboration. I have enjoyed this and the video on Tim's channel.
Thanks for the collaboration, really nice to see you both in the same video. Really enjoyed it. I'm old enough to remember the old Paris Metro rolling stock with first and second class (and rubber wheels!) in about 1975. There was always a smell of eau de cologne as well.
WOW! I can't watch right now but I am already delighted!! 🤩 Yay, Geoff!!
You just brought me back memories from 20 years ago and when I visited Paris, and it's the handles on the doors. Love them!
Having now seen the video, I am still just as delighted about it! You so obviously had a lot of fun! Loved the fabulous Bakerloo Brothers at the end! 🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My, what a fun video. You clearly enjoyed making it, and your time in Paris. More please
Great video in Paris and Tim too, great channel both of you..
The collab the entire Platform waited for
Love this video of you and Tim.
Following Tim for.a few years now and just started to browse through yoir videos. Keep on making interesting and funny stuff
Brilliant video. Brilliant collab.
Learned to know you by the video of Tim, I really enjoy your content, keep bringing the good stuff!
Hi Geoff - I've loved all your videos to date, so when you teased a while back that a Paris Métro video was forthcoming I was very excited. So a big thanks to you (and Tim too) for this and keep them coming! The Paris Métro is an incredibly unique system with a deep history, lots of quirks, and interesting hidden features. The other segments of Lines 9 and 10 in the area around Église d’Auteuil comprise some of the more fascinating sections of the Métro, including the never completed station at Porte Molitor.
And since you highlighted the signature Art Nouveau entrance gate designed by Hector Guimard, it is my understanding that his studio was also in the 16th Arrondissement, which may explain the variety of entrance styles that have survived in this area.
Thank you again for your continued work!
Not only are you guys incredible RUclipsrs but you're also awesome pianists!
Saint-Ouen on line 14 is my station ! I live 400m away from the station ! So happy you were in my neighbourhood :D
Shame they didn't call it Clichy Saint Ouen or Saint Ouen Clichy, it's a confusing name.
@@helloahla239 It's because they couldn't. The policy of the RATP is that when there's already a station the name stays. And there is a station of the RER C there that the line 14 joined and it's called Saint-Ouen so the name didn't change !
This was an amazing colab. So many laugh out loud moments.
Loved the collab, a perfect match of two channels in my top tier of favourite youtubers :D
Excellent collaboration gentlemen - keep up the good work
This collaboration was great. Love it.
So pleased you finally managed your collaboration. Off to check out what you did on Tim’s channel.
Thanks for visiting us Geoff, love the UK from the Parisian Region!
Excellent collaboration Geoff, and Tim now has a new subscriber! 👍🏼
Geoff! There are more lines than just line 11 that are rubber-tired if you didn't know. There are lines 1, 4. 6 and 14 too!
Fantastic, really enjoyed that, Chapeau!
I am SO EXCITED for this crossover! 🥳
Tim, if you ever visit Lisbon, we have a Guimard entrance on one of the Metro stations, offered by RATP in 1995. It's one of the south entrances of Picoas station in the Yellow Line.
That's true! It's really cool to spot those Guimard entrances that RATP gifted to some cities worldwide (and there are a few)
Tres Bien, tous les deux. (Well done, both of you). Really enjoy both sets of your respective content.
Anyone not checked Tim's channel should definitely do it.
Great to so you doing collaborations with Tim
Always watching your videos so much with pleasure. Thank you for making and sharing them. ah bon merci beaucoup xD
I love Tim's channel! Obviously I'm already subscribed to you both!
Wait, wasn't Tim in Jay Foreman's Unfinished London as that man creating 32 boroughs?
Yup! That was recorded back before Tim moved to Paris.
That’s him! His channel is brilliant ….
Brilliant! Need more of these collabs....
Gorgeous. Years ago I stayed at my friend's flat in the 16th district, so got to know its nice atmosphere and odd metro line quite well.
I found the Tim Traveller by myself years ago. I love his opening song. Also love all his videos - not just half.
This is going straight into my Favourites playlist even before I start watching! Cheers to both of you
More content with Tim please! This was so fun!
I love the classic handle door on Paris trains. I love opening it. When I was on holiday here I always opened the door before the train stopped so satisfying
Uh...that doesn't feel terribly safe. Altough probably safer than this one train car (regular train) I was travelling on one day which had its rear door open by itself.
Yes! I usually lift the handle when I feel the train is slow enough (so one or two seconds before standstill) and see if the doors will release early or safely. ;)
@@ThePixel1983 It's not like it doesn't have a lock. When it pulls into the station the doors are released a little early that's it.
@@vaclav_fejt A real door open by itself is maintenance issues but these train doors only release at like 1 second before it stops so not too harzardrous
@@UnmayoGaming I know, I live here. :)
This is definitely the collaboration I've been waiting for my entire life!
Finally Tim showed an interesting place in Paris that I *have* been on. Not while living there, but I was there a few months ago, because the PSG stadium is close to there so we took that line, with the amazing place where the line suddenly splits in two! 🙂
The collab I've been waiting for! 😀
That was very interesting Geoff , You looked so you both had great fun making that even if it was mostly raining raining
I've only visited Paris once but used the Metro and RER quite a lot during the trip and found it very easy to use. The nearest t station to me linked up with he RER to Disneyland which was really convenient.
Outstanding episode
Brilliant video chaps as they always are.
I liked this, more than I expected.. and that's even as a Tim Traveler watcher!
Now I want a "least used" world tour!
Such lovely December weather in Paris.
Yeah Geoff, amazing video. I hope you will make more videos about subway and trains in France !
Really enjoyed this one Geoff! Agree about the noise and the mechanical door openers.... :)
2 of my favourite youtubers in my area, what a pleasure, thanks for this video, sadly though I was working at the time 😢
great video! felicitations!
When I was a student, I used to live next to Église d'Auteuil, and I took line 10 and its loop almost every day. Thanks for showing me again this area of Paris!
Congratulations on the Sub total 👍Nice channel - I've been watching awhile! 👍
I read the title of this video and thought to myself "Great! A new Tim Traveler Video", but I was disappointed to find that it wasn't. But then I was happy to find out that it was a new Geoff video! And then happier to find out that Tim Traveler was in it, so it was a net positive! Thanks for the entertaining video with two of my favorite RUclipsrs!
Great collaboration Geoff
I loved the energy of this video, please come back to Paris and do more!
Thanks for doing these 2 vids guys. I found Geoff via Tim, and enjoy you both
FINALLY! The collab everyone has been waiting for!
I enjoy ALL of Tim's videos! Of course, I also enjoy all of yours, Geoff.
I enjoy all Tim's videos. I enjoyed this one too.
I love the way you open the doors with the little lever
It was really funny to see you two make a video on this subject as I live in Auteuil myself and even though I very rarely use the Église d'Auteuil station, I go through it pretty often when on line 10. I do go to Mirabeau often though.
It's funny seeing RUclipsrs I like (and not even french ones!) talking about somewhere just around the corner! 😄
Tim brought me here, subbed. You should do this more often.
As soon as you only try to speak their language, the french are immediately the most helpful people on the planet.
I always loved the way the door buttons are the little handles you lift.
