Hi, I'm MetroCheck!
Welcome to my channel where you can find an extensive collection of videos about metro stations around the world!
I had the opportunity to travel quite a bit over the last few years and so I was able to post already more than 2000 videos from 41 cities in 21 different countries now.
Believe it or not, there are many amazing looking metro stations across the globe. Many of the existing videos on RUclips only focus on the trains as they arrive and leave, so I thought it would be a good idea to also show some of the architecture and design while I'm walking through a station. But don't worry, I haven't left out the trains!
Of course there are also some boring stations in between, so feel free to skip to the next clip. 🙂
I try to upload new videos daily, so if you like them please subscribe to my channel to stay updated!

Did you know Malaga in Spain also has an metro system
Als ehemaliger ÜSTRA-Mitarbeiter geht mir das Herz auf, liebe Grüße aus der Hauptstadt, dort ist die U-Bahn ne ganz andere Nummer 🙈. Iich weiß in Hannover handelt es sich nicht um eine U-Bahn, es ist eine Stadtbahn. 😎
RER !
Xddd
Gute Aufnahme! Danke dafür! Wie viele RER-Stationen hast du gefilmt?
Danke! Bisher 3 Stationen.
FINALLY! Thank you SO but SO MUCH!!!!!!
Gutes Video! Weiter nördlich befindet sich der U-Bahnhof Kaulsdorf Nord, der ein ziemlicher Fußmarsch ist (15 Minuten) und zu weit entfernt, um denselben Namen zu tragen. Aber bei 6:38 hätte man natürlich eine Weile dort stehen können, um zu sehen, wie diese engen Türen reagieren. Einige der 481 Türen sind ziemlich schlecht (müssen aus China importiert worden sein). 😎
Danke! Vom U-Bahnhof Kaulsdorf-Nord habe ich ja auch schon ein Video gepostet.
Oldest station on the underground, 1837
hi does anyone no if this station is opposite the office like building that has a medical clinic in it?
I really like this station. Good video
Gutes Video 👍👍👍
Danke! 🙏
nice 70's/80's colors & pattern in that station 🙂 and the rolling stock are fitting too
I've noticed in several videos about German system that escalators seems to activate when you're using them ?
Yes, and some of them they can activate in both directions, depending on who enters the escalator first. But I think you see this in other countries as well. I have also seen escalators that slow down if there is no traffic, but I don't remember which city or country it was...
Wie selbstverständlich man da noch Tunnel buddelte
Die Ruhrpottvideos schaue ich besonders gern - klasse! Danke!
Danke! Ich werde auch weiterhin ca. alle 2-3 Wochen ein Video aus dem Ruhrpott veröffentlichen.😉
Did you play that music or is it from somewhere else?
If you mean the music at 12:15, it came from the TV screen above the platform that I was passing by.
isn’t the same station as brussels the name
Still in good conditions.
Does this stop have an elevator?
No, there is no elevator at this station.
@@MetroCheck Thanks for you reply 😊
Until 1930's the river Amstel used to flow here and the objects on the walls were all found when they built this station. A lot of bones, glasses, pots and other things are displayed in between the elavators (you missed that when you entered the station..)
Ah yes, I should have taken the other escalator on the way down to the platform... Maybe I'll get a chance to film an updated video sometime.
Beautiful exceptional video at the Grotte Celoni Metro c Rome station where I live excellent footage
Nice, thank you! 🙏

Weirdly depressing station despite it being overground and light. it feels constraint. And weird enough it is situated next to a bus terminal, but still so narrow island platform?
Too white, isn't a hospital 😅 Will be expensive to maintain clean
Still not a fan of those white new station designs. White is not a colour and this station (and other recent ones) perfectly illustrate why white is not a true enjoyable colour. It renders stations soulless and sterile places. The architects in the recent stations seem more focussed on messing up (or designing?) ceiling. But this ceiling in Orly completely spreads out light, makes stripes, beams, .... for regular users mayby ok, but for people with bad vision - like myself - the combination of almost completely white (with no contrast whatever) this station is a confusing horror of shadows, stripes, marks, .... And since I noticed: Orly station has signs in three languages: English, French and .... Spanish? Like in the airport itself?
la station la defense du rer e et la plus belle
ruclips.net/video/VsAEwugJbeU/видео.htmlsi=U4iPZAPPOhf7bmdh
The ceiling is a security measure, like in Orly 3's main land-side building. The "tubes" in the ceiling are made to let a blast go through and limit harm in case of attack like in Brussels airport. The tubes are also light in weight, so they don't harm people if they fall onto them after an explosion. The stripes and beams were actually a public demand to have indirect, almost graphical lighting, with roomy, airy, and bright ambiance. Things representing access, level changes, information or sitting areas are black : elevator frames, escalators' running handrails with back-light, map stands, regular benches, lean-on benches... It hard to beat the contrast of black on white background. The help and emergency "totems" uses black and a high contrast color, just like the extinguisher boxes use black or anthracite gray and red. It is very white, sure, but there's a lot of contrast when you're there. Plus, furniture, information boards, etc. Pretty much everything has been designed with accessibility experts and PRM feedback. The station volumetric map towards the end is another example of that. The "furniture" on the platform is extremely contrasted, you can clearly see every element even if you have contrast impaired vision. The station isn't finished yet, there's the M18 side that's behind a fake wall on the left when climbing the escalators from the platform and facing the large azulejos mural. The large blue and white mural will be 34 meters wide when the other side will be opened. What's seen here is roughly half of the station, as seen on the station volumetric map. The entire station is themed after the Portuguese "azulejos" white and blue tiles, just like the artworks on the platforms. There was a vision impaired person discovering the station last time I was there following the inauguration, he seemed very happy about the brightness, color temperature and contrast.
@@KyrilPG Thanks for the extensive clarifications 👍

@@MetroCheck warum die S.8 nur bis Ostbahnhof ? Also die erste S.8, die in der Ansage zu hören war, war Flughafen, aber die anderen waren immer Ostbahnhof.
Thats one masssive station! Thats for the new olympic stadium, and it will be a major interchange as well. One thing im confused about, why is there another set of ticket gates right at yhe platform? Especially since that will make crowding worse and im not sure what the reason for them is?
I read in a forum that it's a provision for the future, in case they want to apply different prices for different lines. For the time being you don't need to validate your ticket if you go through the ticket gates at the platform.
Schönes Video!
Danke! 🙏
This is where it started🥳
3:11 screen doors are tinted or the tunnel is very dark ?
Yes, the screen doors are tinted.
You are German?
Yes. He is german.
Too much escalators, but isn't a central railway station.
The station will also serve lines 15, 16 and 17 in a few years, so the number of escalators is probably quite appropriate. According to Wikipedia the station will be able to accommodate 250,000 passengers a day!
@@MetroCheck I figured as much. That many escalators and the size of the main hall screams major transit node.

Danke! Ich bin gespannt, wie die Station im Endausbau aussehen wird, es kommen ja in den nächsten Jahren noch die Linien 15, 16 und 17 dazu. Ich nehme an, hinter der Trennwand bei 6:47 befinden sich zusätzliche Bahnsteige.
@@MetroCheck That's right, the fake wall on M14's departure platform hides part of the M15 Eastbound platform. Though the temporary wall wasn't placed in the middle but rather two thirds towards M15 platform. If there weren't full height platform screen doors, it would be a bit like Châtelet Les Halles RER platform "hall". Here's a very schematic top down representation of the platform level (North is up, South is down) : M16-M17 Western terminus platform 《===== =====》 M16-M17 Eastbound departure platform. Common island platform M15 Westbound anticlockwise platform 《===== =====》 M15 Eastbound clockwise platform --------- temporary wall ------- Common island platform M14 Southbound departure platform 《===== =====》 M14 Northern terminus platform. The terminus platform of M14 is the Southernmost one. All three line stops are parallel and run East-West on the same level. They each have different lengths and they are "centered" like you would center align a paragraph in text software.
Gute Aufnahme! Ist dies das letzte Video aus Köln?
Danke! Ein Video habe ich noch übrig - Körnerstraße. 🙂
Nice. You went to Paris especially for the recent extensions? Btw, line 14 is now the longest Metro line in Paris and with the longest automated trains. But while the recent Saint-Denis extensions (before the Pleyel station) had a modern interpretation of the original line 14 glass boxes and arches for the screen platforms. The extension to Orly has ugly boxes, mostly non-transparent screen doors that make the stations more claustrofobic.
Thank you! I mainly went there to complete my collection of Paris metro stations, the new extensions were a nice addition. So right now the only station I still haven't filmed is Concorde - it's currently closed... 🙄 Yes, some of the stations on the extension to Orly look a little bit dreary at platform level, but not as bad as line M4 in Milan or line C in Rome.
@@TheMexxodus And now a clarification about line 14's new type of stations 😉: As much as I love the arches and open ceiling design of the PSD's in the original and 2020 stations, the new ones do follow current fire safety best practices, it's not simply a design choice. Historical and fairly recent stations of line 14 sort of are mid-way between the old unprotected stations of line 8 or 12, for example, and the new ones like Orly or Saint-Denis Pleyel, which are following best practices. In the new stations, the platform screen doors are full size and entirely separate the track, and its atmosphere, from the platforms. As if the tunnel continued through the station. This is done to help seclude fumes in case of fire, and to maintain breathable atmosphere on the platforms for as long as possible. Massive air and fumes extractors are connected to the tunnel and its "continuation" through the stations. This is built the same way in London's Elizabeth line (Crossrail), Milano's M4, Copenhagen Cityringen metro, or Singapore MRT. Separating air volumes is extremely helpful in case of fire, but it goes beyond just these hopefully very rare cases. It's also an excellent way to reduce fine particles. The air in stations is conditioned, while it is generally not in the tunnels. But in tunnels there are extractors and filters that remove and-or catch particles. So in every day use, separating tunnel and platforms help reduce air conditioning / heating energy consumption, and prevent particles emitted by the train and tracks from reaching the platforms. While, on the other hand, it also helps preventing street particles from entering the station by drastically reducing air movements in the station, and aspiration created by train movements. Some now call these new station designs "horizontal elevator" because it's more difficult to see the train and there's barely any view and no access to the tunnel. It's different, but it's for a good reason, even if that feels very utilitarian. But compared to certain lines and networks, like Milano M4 or some Singapore MRT lines, the new Paris metro lines have maintained a real differentiation and visual identity in stations down to the platforms. The platform screen doors are transparent, but the track side being much darker due to the full height PSD's, it may feel like they're not very transparent. All the new lines of the Grand Paris Express, 15, 16, 17, and 18, will feature these full height platform screen doors as it now is an international standard. The only stations that will be a bit different will be the elevated ones, like near Saclay on line 18, where the track will supposedly be open air in stations to make use of the open end as a natural air extractor. Though in stations where a complete separation is impossible, like line 4, the use of full size platform screen doors isn't really nice. That's probably where they really stand out the most in a wrong way. Like in Cité, it quite ruins the vaulted architecture of the station. For line 4's stations, mid-height PSD's like on line 1 would have been much better visually speaking.
@@KyrilPG Nice. Thanks again for your contribution. But it still is a shame cities like Milan, Paris or Singapore don't make more efforts to visually give stations more of a unique identity. The safety standards are of course important and I do appreciate the significance, but it leads to standardisation in design. Particularly on the M4 in Milan and Copenhagen metro it results in too bland and non-differentiating designs. In Paris and Singapore it's less pronounced. Of course there are always options like the recent Helsinki stations show with standard island platforms but 'arty' lighting 'sculpture' designs. Or murals and sculptures. I feel some cities are neglecting the aspect of an enjoyable and recognisable transport space with its own identity. Paris does this in the latest stations but maybe a bit too subtle (?). 👍
@@TheMexxodus Standardization is also a matter of budget. Building identical designs allows for economies of scale, which is important for publicly funded projects. Though, Paris has really maintained differentiation and uniqueness in all new stations. As for art and architecture, there are major artworks in many stations : the azulejos blue artworks at platform level between station name and seating, the huge azulejos mural in the station atrium (whose half is still behind a drywall). The artworks at platform level in Saint-Denis Pleyel on the "pods" grouping station name panel and seating, and the station itself is an architectural masterpiece. I was quite stunned by the look of it when I discovered it, especially the giant pit atrium with crisscrossing escalators, wood paneling, etc. There's also the openwork roof, like metallic lace, and symbols at the surface level of Thiais-Orly station, then the escalator entanglement in the "pit" to descend. The giant ground fresco on the central mezzanine concourse / tunnel roof and the golden brown polished walls at Chevilly-Larue M.I.N. Rungis station in the ticket atrium, plus the small box building at surface level that contrasts massively with the very large exterior building of the previous station. The optical illusions and light play, the truss design outside, and inside along the tunnel roof concourse, the brushed or patina metallic walls with a metallic mesh above it, plus the bright aluminum atrium with factory-like slanted or sawtooth natural light windows in L'Haÿ-les-Roses. The terracotta, sandstone, and anthracite panels in the escalator pit, the openwork and mesh sublayer under the exterior roof and interior ceiling, and the fossilized-tree-like concrete artwork in Hôpital Bicêtre station. The blue wind swaying artwork outside, and the "bubbles" in the concrete work in Maison Blanche... And, this December, there will be the opening of Villejuif Gustave Roussy station, with a huge cylinder void and metallic escalators crisscrossing, quite an iconic architecture. All stations of the GPE lines will have major art pieces and-or will blend in large artworks. Only a few stations will be similar, the elevated ones on M18, that will share similar architecture but each with different pastel colors. They'll apparently each also have different art pieces. The GPE will probably have the most differentiated and unique stations of any current or recent metro expansions. The art budget is massive... They really made an effort on this front, unique architecture or artistic interpretation haven't been reserved for major stations only, they'll all have very distinctive elements. As for Milano's M4, it's typical ; the Milano Metro always had a tradition of sobriety and utilitarianism, with the unique goal of getting the most value out of standardization and minimalism. So, it's a complete opposite. M4 continues on this and has very similar stations along the line.
