An M1A Yenikapı-Atatürk Airport Train heading onto one of the last common stations with M1B Yenikapı-Kirazlı branch. The line splits onto two from Otogar (Coach Station) Station. The ABB made sets are around 37 years old which are oldest metro sets operating In Istanbul.

Not many details are known about this train except for it being produced around 1980, having the early yellow livery altough it was heavily graffited and it being scrapped as part of write off branch 3.

Are the unmodernized officialy Out of service or what exactly happend to them since it is not officialy confirmed that the unmodernized are out of service and i try to find them and only See the modernized at line 1 and 4.I drove the whole day to get luck to find one but still no succes.Line 2 has somehow only the rusich trains.

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.
