The Sofia Metro is Young and was opened 1998 despite the build started in 1979.Due of cost and collapse of communist bulgaria the opening was very late and at the start only 5 stations.Line 1,2 and 4 have the electricity next to the rails and Line 3 above.Sofia is with warszawa the only cities in europe outside soviet sphere where unmodernized 81 71 also nomernoy drives.I didnt saw the unmodernized.The unmodernized should be modernized.Since the Ukraine Russia war the modernization stopped.The unmodernized will Drive an unkown time continue.Wheter there will be an museums train for heritage rides is not mentioned and planned.I hope they do.I love the new metro Skoda Varosvaria it Looks very eastern european the design and i like the outside sliding doors.Otherwise the Metro Looks a little bit like the moscow one.
