When you have a project that’s going to shut down the central section of one of your busiest commuter rail lines completely for four weeks of summer over the next four years, you’d better make sure that you communicate effectively with your stakeholders. The RATP seems to be doing just that with the massive RER A rail renewal project: this diagram is just one of six different project maps available on their website.

For me, this diagram is a very effective way of quickly showing how the different stations along the line will be affected over the six-year span of the project. A diagram of the route with station names is shown at the top, while a year-by-year display of closed stations sits beneath. An “X” means the corresponding station is closed, while yellow station dots indicate the temporary terminus stations of the routes on either side of the break in service. Obviously, it’s just an overview, and more detailed information about the project can be found elsewhere on the website.
