mid-month theme: subway day

It's always the same story - old v/s new. This used to be a familiar sight for commuters in the Stockholm subway. One of the older cars, nowadays only serving at rush hour when we need everything which is still capable of rolling through those tunnels.

Rather similar view, compared to what I show from Paris. However, you show a relatively (but clean and nice looking) car, whereas my pic is of a quite new one. Also, you must be a very tall man?

The camera occasionally lies, this time when being held overhead... :)

Yes, it's pretty clean but there's always some spray paint on the walls and these old cars are very noisy.

Also, you can open the windows slightly which is an advantage in the summer. Stockholm couldn't afford proper AC when renewing the fleet.

Thta is avery clean car, and empty. Nice shot, like the light.

Like Peter, the car in my photo is one of the newer ones too.

Our trains have AC but that doesn't mean they're always working. In the summer, it is REALLY HOT underground.

I've tried the Madrid subway (with AC) in June but - like you say, Ming - riding there was no picnic at all. AC only helps so much.

Thanks, Babooshka!

It's real fun that we managed to have our photos so synchronized this time. Hats off, Ming(tm) and Peter in Paris!

une belle photo de ce métro vide, même si cela m'angoisse un métro vide.

A beautiful picture of the underground void, even if it m'angoisse a subway empty.

Whenever I see a subway photo it takes me back to all the rides on the Athens Metro. It was always 30C or more,very cumfy!

Underground void - I like the term, Olivier. Everyone, don't forget to check out the void in NYC and Paris. Just follow the links.

Steffe: don't mention the heat. I have memories of my own from Madrid. Phew!

Thanks, Paz.
