Paris Métro Line 14 ride between two stations (I)

This is a recording of a trip between the Madeleine and Saint-Lazare stations on line 14 of the Paris Métro (subway). Line 14 was opened in 1998 and is fully automated (driverless). It uses MP 89 CA rubber-tired trainsets (heard in this recording).

Doors and glass barriers equip the platforms at each station in order to prevent anyone from falling onto the tracks.

Approximate event times in this recording are as follows:

00:10 A train enters the station (right to left) on the opposite platform.
00:28 Train and platform doors open.
00:44 Door closure warning buzzer followed by doors closing.
00:52 Brake release and departure of the train.
01:06 A train enters the station (left to right) on our platform.
01:20 The doors open and we board the train.
01:31 The buzzer sounds and the doors close.
01:40 The train departs.
02:32 The next station is announced (recorded message) as the train slows.
02:41 The station announcement is repeated.
02:52 A trilingual announcement advises all passengers to get off, as this station is the terminus.

Recorded with a Zoom H4n using built-in mics and foam windscreen, in stereo 96 kHz / 24 bits, converted to MP3 320 kbps 48 kHz 16 bits because of length.

The microphones were next to the doors on the platform, and in the center of the car at about a 45-degree angle to the doors inside the train.
