Report - Paris Metro Saint Martin 2018

[DirtyJigsaw]

All,

Heres a quick report from another Paris Ghost Station i have now visited. Its one of the larger ghost stations and one of the most well known. Ive not been activley posting much as of late due to other commitments but i am out there exploring and got another big trip lined up this year too.
I wont bore you any longer, but heres some history of the station stolen from Google

Saint-Martin is a ghost station of the Paris Métro, located on lines 8 and 9 between the stations of Strasbourg - Saint-Denis and République, on the border of the 3rd and 10th arrondissements of Paris.
The station was closed on 2 September 1939 at the start of World War II. It reopened after the French Liberation with a lot of traffic passing through, but was eventually closed again as a result of its proximity to the neighboring station of Strasbourg - Saint-Denis, which lies only 100 metres away.
In the past, the station served to shelter homeless persons, and the eastern section of the location is currently used as a day shelter for the homeless (managed by the Salvation Army).

The station closed on 2nd September 1939.

Are the doors to the upstairs station still locked?

 

[DirtyJigsaw]

Yeah, all doors down there pretty much locked except one that led to a massive extractor fan and some steps to the surface, and then that door was locked too to the street above.
