There should be the time between the first thrust of a spade at a construction field and an opening of the last station of the last line and dividing it by a total length (in kilometers) of a subway network. Might be much more interesting. And this might say some more about dynamics of a progress. Think, that some of the subway networks, you've enlisted, might look slightly different.<br /><br />P.S. See, that some "Marcin" appears above, then me, Mike, as you know me aa "dr Marcin" is not the same as "Marcin" above. "dr Marcin" means me as you knew me before.

Yet the murals on the northern wall of Dworzec Centralny were painted by a group of artists to forestall graffiti (no live rails).

The scent of novelty and cleanness impress the most. <br /><br />Also spotted broken down escalator and took note having to punch a ticket to change lines is a nuisance. Circumstances permitting, I'll try to catch up on Sunday. Take care!<br /><br />PS. Eight stations?

I do hope they get round to naming them at some point, though perhaps that's not a good idea considering the ineptitude of Polish local politicians. Best guess is we'll get something like:<br /><br />Linia metra wschod-zachod im. Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz. <br />(Just stick that on a sign post!)<br /><br />Oh, for something simple like Linia Zółta, Linia Czerwona.<br /><br />Now, bring on M3 (Linia Zielona)!Sigismundonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650609952674727820.post-89122243744912497832015-03-10T13:11:21.993+01:002015-03-10T13:11:21.993+01:00Fangor's designs are characteristically Polish...Fangor's designs are characteristically Polish - read: tacky. (Though they do bear some resemblance to Apple's garish iOS8 operating system!) I guess he realized the place was soon going to be splattered with graffiti, so might as well incorporate it into the design.<br /><br />Having to almost leave the station at Swietokrzyska to switch lines sounds like a major booboo. But surely, if you complete your journey within 20 minutes you can use 1 ticket, including any changes of line?Sigismundonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650609952674727820.post-48737467128605840692015-03-10T12:20:25.185+01:002015-03-10T12:20:25.185+01:00An even greater lenght of time passed between the ...An even greater lenght of time passed between the original start before WWII on the metro and completion of line 1.
