Île-de-France tramway Line 13 Express (T13 Express; French: Ligne 13 Express du tramway , known as the Tangentielle Ouest and Tram Express Ouest in the planning phase) is a suburban tram-train line in Yvelines, west of Paris, which opened on 6 July 2022.[1] [2] [3] The line is operated by Transkeo T12-T13, a joint venture 51% owned by Keolis and 49% by SNCF Voyageurs.
The line is 19km (12miles) long. It connects the communes of Saint-Germain-en-Laye (north) and Saint-Cyr-l'École (south), in the western outer suburbs of Paris. It has interchanges with existing SNCF Transilien lines L, N and U, as well as Réseau Express Régional (RER) lines A and C.
