MTR Admiralty Posted May 2, 2010 Share #2 Posted May 2, 2010 Funny how I was just reading on the Athens Metro this morning. Very modern! Is this on the second and third lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Lexington Ave Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted May 2, 2010 Yes. Actually the specific videos are only from the 2nd but the 3rd isn't much of a difference. The 1st is operated by ISAP (Electric Railway of Athens and Piraeus), while the other 2 are operated by Attiko Metro. Line 1 isn't underground apart from 3 stations and it's not modern at all. The state is planning to merge ISAP with Attiko Metro just like they did there with IRT/BMT/IND. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6 Lexington Ave Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share #9 Posted May 3, 2010 Yes, they are mine but I don't think I did a good job. I was too close to the train... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
