Английская Википедия:Concorde station
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox station Concorde (Шаблон:IPA-fr) is a station on lines 1, 8, and 12 of the Paris Métro. Serving the Place de la Concorde in central Paris, it is located in the 1st arrondissement.
History
The station opened on 13 August 1900, almost a month after trains began running on the initial section of line 1 between Porte de Vincennes and Porte Maillot on 19 July 1900.[1] The station was the site of the first accident on the métro. On 19 October 1900, a current capture fault between the contact shoe on the train and the third rail resulted in a short circuit that started a fire. It caused a collision with the following train, injuring 29 passengers and 1 driver.[2][3] Ezra Pound's famous 1913 Imagist poem, "In a Station of the Metro", was inspired by this station.[4]
Line 12's platforms opened on 5 November 1910 as part of the original section of the Nord-Sud Company's line A between Porte de Versailles and Notre-Dame-de-Lorette.
Line 8's platforms opened on 12 March 1914 as part of the initial section of the line from Beaugrenelle (now Charles Michels on Line 10) to Opéra, seven months after the opening of the initial section of the line on 12 July 1913 as the platforms at Concorde and Invalides were not completed at the time.
On 27 March 1931, line A became line 12 when It was taken over by its competitor, the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP), incorporating it into the Paris Métro.[5]
The original Nord-Sud decor of line 12's station was removed in 1991 when it was redecorated by a new artwork by the artist Françoise Schein. It consisted of blue letters set on a white square tile that form the text of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.[6] The name of the station was also inscribed using the same letters albeit on navy blue tiles. The platforms' vault are covered with horizontal and vertical bands of navy blue tiles and have a speckled-grey tiling on its floors. Numerous metro stations around the world have also been designed with the same theme in mind by the same artist such as: Luz in São Paulo,[7] Parvis de Saint-Gilles in Brussels,[8] Parque in Lisbon,[9][10] and Westhafen in Berlin.[11]
Up until 1997, line 8's station had a single dead-end track alongside the platform towards Pointe du Lac. It was removed to create offices.
Over the weekend of 13–14 June 2009, line 1's platforms were closed to raise its platform levels for the installation platform screen doors to improve passenger safety and for its eventual automation; it was installed in October 2010.
As part of the "Un métro + beau" programme by the RATP, between 11 April to 30 June 2016, line 8's platforms and lighting were renovated and modernised, requiring a closure of its platforms during that time.[12]
In 2019, the station was used by 6,115,023 passengers, making it the 58th busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.[13]
In 2020, the station was used by 2,617,251 passengers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it the 75th busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.[14]
In 2021, the station was used by 3,401,219 passengers, making it the 86th busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.[15]
