Hers Bridge on Metro Line A (Basso Cambo-Balma Gramont), standing between "Argoulets" and "Balma-Gramont" stations. This bridge passes over Motorway A61 (Bordeaux-) Toulouse-Narbonne (background) and over the Hers (foreground). The bow-string style is pretty much reminiscent of the Garde-Adhémar viaduct of the Valence-Marseilles HSL. 19th April 2004. P.L.Guillemin (plguillemin@yahoo.fr) |

Hers Bridge of Metro Line A (Basso Cambo-Balma Gramont), seen from the front end of a VAL-206 set, bound for Basso-Cambo. One can notice than VAL tracks are very basic. Unlike heavier rubber-tyre Metros (Eg: Paris, Lyons, Marseilles, Mexico city, Santiago Chile), there are no conventional rails at all. 19th April 2004. P.L.Guillemin (plguillemin@yahoo.fr) |

Jolimont viaduct, seen from the Westbound platform of station "Jolimont" on Metro Line A (Basso Cambo-Balma Gramont).
This picture is looking towards Balma-Gramont. One can guess pretty easily on this viaduct where Line A exactly used to terminate, pre-2003. The extension to Balma-Gramont features here a 60 %o (1 in 16.66) gradient... One can spot the Hers Bridge in the background. 19th April 2004. P.L.Guillemin (plguillemin@yahoo.fr) |

Interiors of a VAL-206 set used on Metro Line A (Basso Cambo-Balma Gramont).
