SEMVAT-SNCF_Toulouse_Metro_Line-C_Arenes_1.jpg (67137 bytes)

Station of Toulouse-Arènes, on Metro Line C (Arènes-Colomiers).

Metro Line C began to run on 1st September 2003, using part of the Toulouse-Auch RFF line.

This station is still managed by SNCF. It was rebuilt under the Metro Line C project, with funding from Région Midi-Pyrénées and SEMVAT/Tisseo.

This station is both served by Metro and TER services.

Metro Line C services terminate here. Those passengers with SEMVAT/Tisseo-only tickets have to change for Line A (Basso Cambo-Balma Gramont), whose station is further right, down the big building.

SNCF ticket holders can conversely board a TER service to Toulouse-Matabiau.

Station "Le Toec", on Metro Line C (Arènes-Colomiers).

Metro Line C began to run on 1st September 2003, using part of the Toulouse-Auch RFF line.

This station was paid for by SEMVAT/Tisseo, and is only served by Metro services, using the left-hand track.

TER services conversely run fast, using the right-hand track. So far, the second platform has been built for nothing...

SEMVAT_Toulouse_Metro_Line-C_Toec_4.jpg (75101 bytes)

Metro Line C (Arènes-Colomiers), seen from station "Le Toec", looking towards Arènes and Toulouse-Matabiau.

Metro Line C began to run on 1st September 2003, using part of the Toulouse-Auch RFF line.

Track has been duplicated on (most of) Line C. Yet, the Arènes-Colomiers segment is operated as a "pair of single tracks" rather than as a genuine double-track:

TER services use the left-hand track, while Metro services are confined to the right-hand track.
