Finally here are some available pics of the station under NDK, built in late 1970's as a part of the underground system there.It's going to be finished for the MD2 construction, which is now in progress.

Wow. You've got a very nice metro. Congratulations.
I love the on-top bridge coverings and also the colors of the stations.

[Ivanski]

Thanks. Some nice picture inside of Serdika station.

Thanx Pal!

You guys are putting together a very professional thread here! By any chance, could any1 of you post some renders of the future (u/c) stations of MD2? Again, top priority (for me of course ) is NDK and Hemus.

Thanx again!

As I see it, MD1 and MD2 will be continuos... So these lines will be combined in the end?

[Qtya]

As you see, I'm catching up with the developments of Sofia's metro...

It was probably answered a thousand times by now, but why were the following sections finished separately?

Different building technic? Huge difficulties during the constructions? Corruption? Greens? Other...?

[Ivanski]

The terrain turned out to be more difficult in the area, the tunnel is already done. And now some tests and finishing works on the university station left. The Japanese constructors Taisei actually delayed the whole section of the diameter about a year.

10x, unfortunately we couldn't find any published renders of MD2 stations so far. The local metro site is total crap and it hasn't been updated since years. The construction on MD2 is now still on basic ground works. I guess they will be available in media after a while.

They're connected in the north part, if that's the question

2 blurry, tv snapshot photos of the situation at the cross road of Cherni Vruh blvd. and Sveti Naum blvd. , where the Hemus station will be.

South of the crossroad:

I meant it numerically...

Thank you very much for the answers! I was trying to ask, if the two metro lines are to be connected at the north, will the trains run continuously from for example Lozenets through Hemus, NDK, ..., Central Station (Tsentralna Gara), Nadezhda, Obelya and with or without changing signs (metro numbers) onwards using the existing MD1 line? Or you'll have to change at Obelya?

[Ivanski]

You'll have to switch MDs at Obelya. I'm not completely but 90% sure

Thanx! Anyway, You'll have an excellent subway system! It's strange though, you are not getting any information about the future MD2 stations. For example, here in Budapest, we also have a new metro line u/c at moment, but the renders were published long before the development itself started...

Security reasons, maybe?

[Ivanski]

I don't know, probably or it could be just poor pr work.
