A few days ago, I had the opportunity to get underground and visit the construction work of Nürnberg’s new metro line. This U3 line is actually a first of a kind since this is the first entirely automated line sharing some tracks with a standard one. You can imagine to what kind of issues it can drive to… the test phase was kind of interesting
A part of the line is already opened, but four Stations are still to be build or finished ; including the one right at our door… that I could visit.
Not much to say, just a hard construction work 20m under the ground. Here are a few pictures to illustrate the visit. You can see the hard work still going on, either in the tunnel or in a future station… I’m really looking forward to seeing how it looks like when it’s finished:
This part of the tunnel is (almost) over and just waiting for its “technological decoration”, meaning electricity, tracks and technology (made in S..m.ns):
Nice isn’t it?




Nice pictures !
I.love.that.
That’s just it. Wonderful.
Now I NEED to check with the RATP how I could get a pass through the Haxo ghost-station.
Hehe, looking forward to your pictures… THAT must be something!
Is it straight on Friedrich Ebert Platz?
The second picture is, the first one is more toward Nord Klinikum, the 2 others in direction Maxfeld.
