Haxo (Шаблон:IPA-fr) is a ghost station on the Paris Métro. It lies on an unused connecting branch between lines 3bis and 7bis.[1]
History
The station is situated on a line which was constructed in the 1920s between Porte des Lilas (line 3bis) and Pré-Saint-Gervais (line 7bis). A single track was built linking Place des Fêtes to Porte des Lilas, known as la voie des Fêtes, with one intermediate station, Haxo. For traffic in the other direction, another track was constructed linking Porte des Lilas to Pré Saint-Gervais, with no intermediate station, called la voie navette. Consequently, Haxo would have been a single-direction station with only one platform, like Mirabeau.[1]
However, despite the network owners, the City of Paris, having delivered the necessary infrastructure, the railway operator, Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris, did not consider a service to be sufficiently profitable.[2]
Service trains have never called at Haxo, and no access to street level was ever constructed.[2] Occasional special enthusiast trains call at Haxo for photography,[3] and the station was also used to demonstrate the MF 88 rolling stock to the press in 1993[2] (the "1993" sign can be seen on some pictures, more than 10 years later).
Future
Шаблон:Unreferenced section A study is being undertaken into the merger of Paris Métro Lines 3bis and 7bis using the existing currently untrafficked infrastructure between the two lines, which might therefore finally open Haxo for passenger use. The combined lines would run from Château Landon to Gambetta.
At the moment, the voie navette is blocked near Pré Saint-Gervais by an additional maintenance facility for the MF 88 rolling stock because of its high failure rate. Therefore, the line merger would first require the MF 88 trains to be replaced by MF 67 units, which would be cascaded from other lines after the arrival of the MF 2000 equipment.
