2004, Nick Leverton remarked: What's doubly strange is that the Metro is sloping downhill whereas the ground behind it is apparently going uphill ! Perhaps it's descending into a tunnel, the line of houses at the top right suggests this is the case. -- Roland Perry |

Perhaps it's descending into a tunnel, the line of houses at the top right suggests this is the case. It is indeed, but there's another tunnel at the top end of the platform! The photo is of Croix-Paquet station on Line C. Gradient is 17% (1 in 6). More info and photos at http://world.nycsubway.org/eu/fr/lyon-metro -- Richard J.
