The tram-train de l'ouest lyonnais (in English, Western Lyon tram-train) is a tram-train network in the urban area of Lyon in the region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, with two lines departing from Lyon-Saint-Paul station. This network is managed as a part of the TER Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regional train system and it is operated by SNCF Voyageurs.

Both two tram-train lines offers a connection with Lyon Metro Line D at Lyon Gorge de Loup.

Project

The project consists of the creation of three tram-train lines departing from Lyon Saint-Paul to Sain-Bel, Brignais and Lozanne, with the aim to improve the traffic between these railway stations.

Some rail lines have been doubled, platforms rebuilt, and stations modernised. The total cost of the project is around €150·2m.

While the lines to Sain-Bel and Brignais were opened in 2012, the third line to Lozanne is still planned but postponed. Currently, classic TER trains runs from Lozanne station [fr] to Tassin station [fr], connecting with the tram-train line from Lyon Saint-Paul to Sain-Bel.
