La Fourche (Paris Métro)

La Fourche (Paris Métro)

La Fourche is a station of the Paris Métro, serving Line 13. It opened on 26 February, 1911 as part of the Nord-Sud Line B between Saint-Lazare and Porte de Saint Ouen, before becoming a junction less than a year later with the opening of the northwesterly branch to Porte de Clichy.

The station has two levels, an upper and lower level. The upper level has two track with two platforms on either side. These are served by trains going to and arriving from Asnières - Gennevilliers and by northbound trains to Saint-Denis. The lower level has a single track and a single platform; this is served only by southbound trains arriving from Saint-Denis.
North of La Fourche station and heading south from Guy Môquet, the tracks on the Saint-Denis branch diverge, the northbound track ascending and joining with the tracks from Asnières - Gennevilliers just before reaching the station. The southbound track remains at the same level and enters the station underneath the rest of the tracks.
Heading south from the station, the tracks from the upper level platforms descend and the southbound track from the lower level platform joins them just north of Place de Clichy.
