You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Rouen tramway''' (((lang-fr|Tramway de Rouen)), known locally as "Métro de Rouen") is a [[tram]]way/[[light rail]] network in the city of [[Rouen]], [[Normandy]], [[France]]. Construction began in 1991 and the network opened for service on 17 December 1994.

== Modern network ==
The tramway consists of two lines that share a common route in the north in and diverting into two southern branches to [[Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray]] and [[Le Grand-Quevilly]]. The northernmost section of the line within Rouen city centre runs through a ((convert|1.7|km|mi|adj=on)) underground (subway) section in the Rouen city centre encompassing stations Joffre–Mutualité through Bouvoisine. At the Théâtre des Arts station, transfers between the tramway and Rouen's three [[bus rapid transit]] lines (T1-T3) can take place; while transfers between the tramway and the [[SNCF]] railway line take place at Gare–Rue Verte station. The remainder of the tramway to the south of the underground portion runs on the road surface and on [[reserved track]].

In light of the fact that the new mode of transport technically is a light railway/tramway, inhabitants of Rouen and its suburbs have taken the habit of calling it the 'métro'. In September 1997 the tramway was extended to the ''[[Technopole|Technopôle]] du Madrillet''.<ref>((cite journal | url=http://www.railwaygazette.com/nc/news/single-view/view/paris-opening-launches-next-round-of-french-tram-projects.html | title=Paris opening launches next round of French tram projects  | journal = [[Railway Gazette International]] | date = 1 August 1997 | accessdate=2011-05-24))</ref>

=== Technical data ===
* Length of the network : ((convert|18.2|km|abbr=on))
* Number of stops : 31
* Number of tramcars : 28
* Tramcar capacity : 178
* Average commercial speed : ((convert|19.125|km/h|mph|abbr=on|sigfig=3))
* Maximum speed: ((convert|80|km/h|mph|abbr=on))
* Daily traffic: 65,000 journeys
* Opening hours: 5:00am to 11:30pm
* Frequency of service: every 3 minutes (peak); every 20 minutes (off peak)

=== Rolling stock ===
The original rolling stock used by the system until 2012 was the [[Alstom|GEC Alsthom]] ''[[Tramway Français Standard]]'' (TFS),<ref name=rgi20100105 /> identical to those used on the [[Tramway de Grenoble|Grenoble tramway]] (1987) and [[Paris Tramway Line 1]].

In January 2010, [[Alstom]] was awarded a €90m contract to supply 27 [[Alstom Citadis|Citadis 402]] trams in 2011–2012 to replace the TFS cars.<ref name=rgi20100105>((cite journal | url = http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/single-view/view/10/rouen-orders-trams-to-increase-capacity.html | title = Rouen orders trams to increase capacity | journal = [[Railway Gazette International]] | date = 5 January 2010 | accessdate = 2011-05-24 | archive-date = 2010-02-12 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100212113820/http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/single-view/view/10/rouen-orders-trams-to-increase-capacity.html | url-status = dead ))</ref> All TFS trams were removed from service in 2012 and were subsequently shipped to [[Gaziantep]], Turkey as an expansion fleet for a newly built tram line in that city.<ref>((Cite news|url=http://www.railjournal.com/index.php/light-rail/former-rouen-trams-shipped-to-turkey.html|title=Former Rouen trams shipped to Turkey|last=Barrow|first=Keith|date=2014-03-05|journal=International Railway Journal|access-date=2017-11-01|language=en-gb))</ref>

== Former tramway ==
((main|Trams in Rouen))
[[File:Tramway-de-Rouen.jpg|thumb|Old standard tramway on the Pont Jeanne-d'Arc]]
The first tramway was steam hauled, opened in 1874 and was owned by Gustav Palmer Harding. The Compagnie des Tramways de Rouen (CTR) was created on 11 September 1878. Steam hauling stopped in 1884 due to rising costs and the ineffectiveness of the system, the tramways then were horse drawn.

On 19 June 1892 a funicular railway linking [[Rouen]] to [[Bonsecours]] opened. Two years later, in 1894, the decision to operate all tramways electrically was made.

A second company, the Compagnie Générale de Traction (CGT) was created in 1895 and opened lines to Bapeaume, [[Amfreville-la-Mi-Voie]] and [[Bihorel]]. The CTR electrified its tramway network from 22 March 1896 in time for the Colonial Exposition of 1896, organised in [[Rouen]].

The CGT and CTR were supplemented by a third tramway company, the Compagnie du Tramway de Bonsecours, which in 1899 opened a line from Rouen's [[Pont Pierre-Corneille|Pont Corneille]] to [[Bonsecours]]. To reach [[Bonsecours]], the line had to climb a steep ramp, reaching 60&nbsp;mm/m (6%) and 80&nbsp;mm/m (8%). This made the total length of network 38&nbsp;km long. In 1906, a short lived line linking le Trianon to the Forêt du Rouvray opened, this closed in 1908.

In 1910, The CGT, the Compagnie du Tramway de Bonsecours merged into the CTR. Two years later, the tramway was extended to [[Bois-Guillaume]]. The last line was opened on 1 August 1915, this stretched between Rouen and [[Le Grand-Quevilly|Grand-Quevilly]], its purpose was to link military camps to the city-centre. A fire broke out in the Trianon depot on 30 November 1921.

In 1930, the first bus line began operations between Place Beauvoisine and Cimetière Nord. The first tramway line closure occurred the same year and was replaced by buses.

The [[trolleybus]] made a discreet appearance in 1933 during tests, the first line opened in 1937 and linked [[Mont-Saint-Aignan]] to the city.

For six years, between 9 June 1940 and 20 April 1946, crossing of the [[Seine|River Seine]] was interrupted due to the [[World War II]] hostilities. The line to [[Amfreville-la-Mi-Voie|Amfreville]] was closed and replaced by buses in 1948.

On 28 February 1953, the last tramway line closed, followed in 1970 by the last trolleybus.

The tramway system was operated by three companies, all using ((RailGauge|sg)) [[standard gauge]] tramcars.

=== Depots ===
The Compagnie des Tramways de Rouen (CTR) kept its rolling stock in three tramway depots;
* Trianon, situated on the south bank of the river Seine
* [[Bonsecours]], situated at the top of the incline of the same name.
* [[Maromme]], situated in the north of the city.
