Lyon Metro Line C (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Lyon Metro Line C is the modern incarnation of an old cable-hauled railway operating on part of the current alignment. In 1891, the Funiculaire Croix-Rousse - Croix-Paquet was opened, running between its namesake stations. After surviving the closure of the nearby funiculaire Rue Terme - Croix-Rousse in 1967, the funicular closed in 1972 for refurbishment, reopening in 1974 as Lyon Metro Line C. Its southern end was extended from Croix-Paquet to H tel-de-Ville in 1978; its northern end was extended to Cuire on December 8, 1984.
