Tramway Lille - Roubaix - Tourcoing, France (2016)The system consists of two interurban lines, connecting central Lille to the nearby communities of Roubaix and Tourcoing, and has 36 stations. The lines were built at the same time as the boulevards linking Lille to its two neighbours, and the lines run on reserved track within the boulevards for most of their length.By Timosha21 - April 23, 2016.

Ilevia - the tram system of Lille in France (2022)The next time I visit Lille, I must make an effort to find the tram platform at Gare Lille Europe. In November 2004, when I visited the first time, I had a difficult time going from the metro platform to the tram platform (I guess I could not find the way or did not understand the Correspondence signs back then), as I had to return to Brussels, where I was staying, departing Lille Europe about 2 PM. Hopefully, in 2023, I will have the opportunity to return to Lille, as well as visit Charleroi and Antwerp.By Rail Public Transport 🏳️‍🌈 - June 27, 2022.
