New Metro Line Work on Swietokrzyska

Work on the second metro line in Warsaw is well underway.  Swietokrzyska has been closed down and turned into a construction site.  Every so often, they'll also close the Swietokrzyska stop, effectively splitting the metro line into two.  A Z bus is then used to take the long way around the Palac Kultury i Nauki, linking Metro Centrum to Metro Ratusz Arsenal.  It can turn a simple trip to the other side of the city in a 2X long affair.

Well, they did it!!!

When I left in the summer, the Metro Warszawskie went from Kabaty to Marymont.  Tonight, I looked up at the map of the line, which had always stood oh-so incomplete and noticed that it went all the way to Mlociny!!!  No way!!  Not only did they complete another stop, they went another five (or something like that.)  (A didn't even notice that it no longer stopped at Marymont.)   Wow.  Now the subway is truly complete; now they can start building a second line.
