Talk:Lausanne Métro

Two questions

1. What are the operational limits of the M2, in regard to ice and snow ? It is often said that rubber-tire subways cannot operate in winter climate.

• Well, it is a subway, so it is in a tunnel. Hektor 06:53, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
  • In fact, it is NOT entirely in a tunnel, nor underground. Many parts are on the surface, in the open air. More generally speaking, most subways are not entirely in tunnels. Mekmtl 17:35, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

2. Is this the only Metro system in Switzerland? 85.210.47.218 14:44, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

• I think so. Hektor 14:49, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Move to Lausanne Métro?

I am thinking about a move for this article from it's current home at Lausanne Metro to Lausanne Métro. Given this is an article about a system in a French-speaking area, whose logo includes the word "métro", I think this is a clear reason, and has precedent with Paris Métro. If the logo didn't include the "é", perhaps WP:UCN guidelines would suggest the Anglicised version instead. I will check back for replies and, plan to move it by the end of the month if there's no objections. --Peeky44 _{What's on your mind?} 22:02, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Are you just fussing about the accent, or do you intend to improve the article as well? And what do you want to do with the Métro Lausanne–Ouchy article? Sw2nd (talk) 23:32, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

I have improved the article (albeit not for a while now), as you would see if you look at the edit history. Please, Assume Good Faith. I am interested in making Wikipedia as good as possible, from accurate text to good representative media and appropriate names. To me it is about the whole. As far as the Métro Lausanne–Ouchy is concerned, that article's main problem is the lack of inline citations and not having enough sources. --Peeky44 _{What's on your mind?} 14:22, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Question

Is Lausanne Metro#Line M1 a conventional metro or a rubber-tyred metro? Peter Horn User talk 02:03, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

• It is a single track, standard gauge, light rail / tramway with an underground section rather than a conventional metro. Hektor (talk) 07:02, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Inches are Not a Measure of Time

The table in section 2.2.2 gives the time stopped at a station in Inches. Please correct this. Dr. British12 (talk) 12:33, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

Correct stylization of Lausanne metro line designations

The operator of Lausanne's metro system uses lower case to designate the m1 and m2 lines. The entry was corrected to reflect this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.132.96.152 (talk) 10:09, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
