Hello all!
Been busy recently of course with a lot of things both family, school and volunteering related.
On my recent trip across Europe me and my dad decided to explore the M4 line of Bucharest’s Metro. What we found was an oasis of grit in an otherwise sparkly-clean network, the Astra IVA cars. These trains are the oldest in the network having been there from Day 1 (albeit the trains you see in this video are a mix of earlier and later orders, you can tell the difference by the shape of the front windows). They are set to be retired permanently in the very near future, being replaced by newer more modern cars.
These trains feature seats, a roof, windows and doors. There is no AC, no CCTV...
