Metro Line 13? Is it not working?

This is the second day I have tried to pull up routing map from place to place and it won%26#39;t show Line 13 as the route to use.





For example, Gare De Nord to 6 rue Raymond Fassin.

Line 13 is working



I just tried on the ratp website and it showed as itinerary for



Gare du Nord to 6 rue Raymond Fassin -Malakoff



1. RER line E to Hausmann Saint Lazare



2. Metro line 13 to Malakoff Plateau de Vanves




|||



Go try it on Sept 29th and Sept 30th for that route or even a more basic route and see what you get.





It is like the are taking it down for some reason.




|||



I was on it today so I guess it is working!




|||



Hmmm... It%26#39;s operating pretty normally from our POV. Just rode it today. Don%26#39;t know about the routing map but actual operations are exactly normal and as crowded as usual.




|||



Are you making adjustments to the RATP Itineraire feature for Date an TIME??




|||



sept 29th..all sorts of departure times morning and afternoon still don%26#39;t show metro 13



same with Sept 30. It will show it on Sept 28th.



I need it for Oct 1 and it still won%26#39;t show that date, yet.





I was wondering if they were planning on shutting it down but doesn%26#39;t seem like they would given how many destinations use it.

That%26#39;s because no computer, notwithstanding how much heuristic programming has been carried out, can /always/ work out the smartest way for a desired journey.





The Paris Nord/Magenta --%26gt; Haussmann Saint Lazare --%26gt; Line 13 to Montrouge is the best solution. You can quote me on this.

The weekday schedules are all the same, so you don%26#39;t really need to put in October 1. September 24 would work just as well, as would September 26 or 19.





There are no line-wide closures planned for the 13.

%26quot;you don%26#39;t really need to put in October 1. September 24 would work just as well, as would September 26 or 19.%26quot;





Yes, but have you tried September 29 or 30? The point here is that the RATP site refuses to show Line 13 as a possible route from September 29 to October 23 inclusive. Try a journey from Duroc to Invalides in that period if you don%26#39;t believe me.





Is there a forward programme of station/line closures on the RATP site? I haven%26#39;t found it yet. If anyone claims that there is no planned closure of line 13, please quote your source of definitive information.





I%26#39;ve just emailed RATP to ask them why their routes don%26#39;t use Line 13 from Sepotember 29.




|||



Yes, I did. It%26#39;s obvious there is a glitch.





There are no planned works for the line 13 and certainly nothing that would shut down the whole line for a month. That is the line I take every day so I am somewhat familiar with it.





For official confirmation, go to the RATP site (French version only). Click on %26quot;Trafic%26quot; on the left, then on the tab %26quot;Travaux RATP%26quot;.
