MCL 80

Passenger Rolling Stock and High-Speed Trainsets

The MCL 80, Métro Crémaillère Lyon 1980, is the electric multiple unit type used on the Lyon Metro's Line C. All five trains were built by Alstom, then Alsthom, and Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works, SLM, and were delivered and entered service in 1984. This train model is the only model of the Lyon Metro using steel wheels, rather than rubber tyres. The other Lyon Metro train types built by Alstom are the MPL 75 for Line A and formerly Line B, delivered in 1978 and 1981, and the driverless MPL 85 for Line D, delivered in 1988 and in service from 1991.
