Super!!!! endlich jemand der diesen Thread unterstützt

Deine U-Bahn Threads sind sehr gut, schade dass die in Vergessenheit geraten sind.

No, they don't de-rail. At least, I have never heard of any problems of this kind.
They are working fine.

Fantastic photos stefanguti! I was in Vienna for my honeymoon a couple of years ago and it was so easy to get around the city without any hassle. Our city could learn a thing or two from your system. The photos relive good memories I had of Vienna.

Webeagle12: first time in Vienna?

yes, actually first I'm going to Innsbruck for 2-3 nights, spend a day in Salzburg, and couple days (2-3)in Vienna, and then I proceed to another country for 9-11 days. The only things that is sucks, I absolutely cant speak German.

Do you live in Vienna? because I had couple questions (maybe 200-300

) that I would like to ask, if that possible.

No problem, just ask. I do live in Vienna

Thanks for the information. Looks interesting because it seems like the tram is passing right in the concourse level of the subway, where the shops are...I've never seen something like it, so I would love to see it first hand

I could cry with jealousy when seeing how beautiful Vienna is.

Some more Schottentor pictures:

The general view of the underground terminus, the University in the background:

Five lines stop at the underground level, five at street level:

Well, could you point another tram loop with tracks one above another, and the lower level smootly connected with underground shopping center?

I saw this place when I was there a few years ago and was quite impressed.

I found this, and thought it was quite cool.

Regarding Schottentor: How about extending S 40 from Franz-Josefs Bahnhof to Stephansplatz via Schottentor? Excavations could be done fairly easily if you used the green area between the street and the tram line here: http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/8870/23oc5.jpg
It could afterwards be used as a light shaft for the S40 platform, which would be located somewhere around 10 meter below the tram concourse in order to be grade separated with the U2 line. The depth would anyways be neccessary for the endstation at Stephansplatz which would be located somewhere around 30-40 meter below the ground.

This way commuters from Tulln would have a great access to the city, and it would also be easier to commute to the university. Anyone on the U3 or U1 could change at Stephansplatz onto the S-trains heading north. You could also have a line like S1 (an example) or another S-line from the north to go to Stephansplatz via Handelskai and Heiligenstadt into the city and the university area.

Perhaps I just suggested the most expensive 1 km-project ever, but I believe it would be great for the Viennese transport system as a whole, not at least for the university.
