The MPL 85, Métro Pneus Lyon 1985, is the driverless rubber-tyred electric train type used on the Lyon Metro's Line D, and the entire fleet was built by Alstom, then Alsthom. The trains were delivered in 1988 but only entered service in 1991, when Line D was opened. The acceleration and deceleration sounds of the units are quite similar to the MP 05 stock of the Paris Metro and to the NS-2004 stock of the Santiago Metro, although they look completely different. The other Alstom-built train types of the Lyon Metro are the MPL 75, used on Line A and formerly on Line B and delivered in 1978 and 1981, and the MCL 80 of Line C.
