According to Lyon Capitale, a power failure on Tuesday morning, 10 November, has severely disrupted tram services in the east of Lyon. Since around 6:30 am, several tram lines have not been running normally, and passengers in the area were told to expect delays.
Lines affected
- T7, which links Vaulx-en-Velin La Soie with OL Vallée, is not running.
- Rhônexpress, which connects Lyon Part-Dieu station with Lyon-Saint-Exupéry airport, is also stopped.
- T3 runs only between Vaulx-en-Velin La Soie and Lyon Part-Dieu Villette. The stops beyond that, up to Meyzieu ZI, are not served.
Alternatives and expected return
Replacement buses have been set up on the T3 route between Vaulx-en-Velin La Soie and Meyzieu ZI, so passengers heading further east can still travel along that corridor.
According to information communicated by Sytral, as reported by Lyon Capitale, traffic on the T7 and the Rhônexpress is expected to resume around 12 noon. For the T3, a return to normal is also expected at midday.
Metro C still out of service
The report also notes that metro C remains closed in Lyon. This follows the discovery of an anomaly on the tracks on 2 November. No reopening date for the line is given in the Lyon Capitale report.
