Rhônexpress

Rhônexpress is an express tram/ express train line which links downtown Lyon, France, with its airport, Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport, and the TGV train station located there.

It opened on 9 August 2010. The Conseil général of the Rhône franchised the operation of this line for 30 years to Rhônexpress, a consortium including Vinci SA (28.2%), Veolia Transport (28.2%), Vossloh Infrastructure Service (4.2%), Cegelec Centre Est (2.8%) and the Caisse des dépôts et consignations.

The route is served by six tram trainsets, which were built by the Swiss manufacturer Stadler Rail. The route has a length of and it takes 29 minutes to go from Part-Dieu to the airport; service is every 15 minutes at peak times. The project included building of new track, while remainder of the route runs along the tracks of the existing T3 tram line, which is built with passing tracks to allow express service. The service is independently run and is not a part of the TCL system, although it appears on TCL maps.
