'''Île-de-France tramway Line T11 Express''' (known as the ''Tangentielle Nord'' and ''Tram Express Nord'' during the planning phase) is a suburban [[tram-train]] line in [[France]]. Opened in June 2017, it links [[Epinay-sur-Seine]] with [[Le Bourget]], with planned extensions linking [[Sartrouville station|Sartrouville]] to [[Noisy-le-Sec station|Noisy-le-Sec]]. The line is operated by Transkeo, a joint venture 51% owned by [[Keolis]] and 49% owned by [[SNCF Voyageurs]]. The line is designated as an "express" tramway line, which means that the standard [[ticket t+]] is not valid on it.
== Route ==
The line, when completed, is planned to be {{convert|28|km|abbr=off}} long, running from [[Sartrouville]] to [[Noisy-le-Sec]], from the northwestern to the northeastern suburbs of [[Paris]]. It will have interchanges with existing [[Transilien]] train lines, [[Tramways in Paris|trams]], [[Paris Métro|metro]], and [[Réseau Express Régional]] (RER) lines [[RER A|A]], [[RER B|B]], [[RER C|C]], [[RER D|D]] and [[RER E|E]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sncf.com/en_EN/html/media/CH0010-Regions/BR0500-Northern-Ile-de-France-train/MD0005_20080703-Read-article.html|accessdate=2010-12-16|title=Tangentielle Nord: Connecting up the suburbs! / THE SNCF IN MY REGION / Regions / SNCF.COM – MEDIA}}</ref> There will be six new stations and eight interchange stations. The route runs on new tracks along the [[Grande Ceinture line|Grande Ceinture]].
== Construction ==
The project, which was granted [[Déclaration d'utilité publique|approval]] in May 2008,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aut-idf.org/Tangentielle-Nord-debut-des|accessdate=2010-12-16|title=Tangentielle Nord : début des travaux au 1er trimestre 2010 – Association des Usagers des Transports FNAUT Ile-de-France|date=8 July 2009}}</ref> was planned by [[Syndicat des transports d'Île-de-France]] (STIF) and jointly managed by [[SNCF]] and [[Réseau Ferré de France]] (RFF).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.railwaygazette.com/nc/news/single-view/view/tangentielle-nord-project-launched-in-paris.html|accessdate=2010-12-16|title=Railway Gazette: Tangentielle Nord project launched in Paris}}</ref>
Work on the initial section of the line started in 2009, and it opened on June 30, 2017. It consists of 7 stations from [[Epinay-sur-Seine]] to [[Le Bourget]] stations,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.metro-report.com/news/news-by-region/europe/single-view/view/t11-express-opens-in-paris.html|accessdate=2017-06-30|title=Railway Gazette: T11 Express opens in Paris}}</ref> for a total travel time of 15 minutes, an average speed of around {{convert|50|km/h|0|abbr=on}} and sections allowing maximum speed of {{convert|100|km/h|0|abbr=on}}.
Two extensions are planned: a westerly extension with 4 stations from [[Sartrouville station|Sartrouville]] to Epinay-sur-Seine, and an easterly extension with 3 stations from Le Bourget to [[Noisy-le-Sec station|Noisy-le-Sec]]. The opening of both extensions is planned for 2033, though this has not been confirmed as of 2024.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-04-11 |title=Dans le Val-d'Oise, la crainte que le projet de tram-train T11 ne soit enterré |url=https://actu.fr/ile-de-france/argenteuil_95018/dans-le-val-doise-la-crainte-que-le-projet-de-tram-train-t11-ne-soit-enterre_60929123.html |access-date=2024-04-16 |website=actu.fr |language=fr}}</ref>
The total line's overall cost is estimated to be around €1.5 billion.
