I decided to visit Schottenring station one last time before the extension of the U2 on May 10th. The current route from Schottentor to Schottenring will be degraded to a connecting track to the U4, as the U2 platforms move under the U4, instead of ending between the U4 platforms.

First, I tried to capture how surprised I was by the awesomeness of the new escalator. Then you will see a U4 emerging from its dive below the current U2-track, next you can see a U2 using this very track above. Then decided to risk it and sticked my camera out of the window to film Schottentor-Schottenring. You can see the descending tracks to the deeper, future platforms, various building material left from the reconstruction and - during the return to Schottentor - an ascending train from a "secret" connecting track to the U1 (at ~02:15).

The new T1 trainsets for U6. Bland, if you ask me. At least they're air-conditioned.

The new tram would be fine if it had decent seats instead of those ugly plastic ones.

Unfortunately all seats will be replaced with plastic ones, for hygienic reasons.
