Montpellier, France : 2nd, 4th and 5th May 2014                                                 Diagram  2014              Map 2014
Much has happened in the four and a half years since our 2009 visit, with a complete new line crossing the city and a loop around the inner southern suburbs adding to the network in this progressive Mediterranean city 
Four tram lines now converge in front of Montpellier's St Roch station, with the latest line 3 approaching along Rue de la Republique (see photo above)  and a new line 4 inaugurated with the intention to create a future inner-city loop line using these tracks opened on April 7th 2012. The opening of the new lines resulted in a reorganisation of the former two-line network in the inner city areas and now both lines 1 (opened July 2000) and 2 (December 2006) share tracks between St Roch and Corum, both serving the main city stop at Comedie. Rather then just the blue-liveried trams of line 1, this attractive square now sees the brightly-coloured red, yellow, green and orange floral design of line 2 - and a highly frequent service with it now uncommon to have no tram in or approaching the platforms in daytime hours. This set of photos follows lines 3 and 4 and records the new colours abounding in the city centre which now include the two new designs chosen for the new lines. Montpellier is not stopping there as more construction is now in the pipeline to complete the loop around the old-city, but new leaders in the city hall have called for a proposed line in the city's north-west to be reviewed as financial constraints take hold.
