To be honest we had problems with the wheels, which were made of poor materials and the doors were broken too often because of defective software. Generally Warsaw metro fans have mixed feelings about this trains.

No such problems here...generally operations have been smooth other than the occasional signalling/brake/power etc all sorts of reasons breakdowns...all minor...

We have had major problems with our Bombardier trains though...those damned CX-100 light rail train cars.

China probably likes to adopt the MTR signage and looks to correspond to the central government's nationalised policy of everything the same for all its citizens. If the size and distance of the doors, gap bw train and platform, length and all other dimensions is the same as the urban stock of the MTR, I'd killmyself laughing!

It has it's advantages but it certainly is a tad boring with the consistent looks.

Yea, I would want to see something more original than some replica of the MTR.

Then there's still quite a disparity. Shenzhen and Guangzhou get screen doors. From pictures it also looks like Guangzhou line 1 is retrofitting screens like HK did.

Do you have any photos?

If it works, it works! Its mass transit, a tool of the general population, not an art gallery.

Another shiny new chinese subway. Dam, I may not like chinese architecture, but I sure like whats going on underground.

Maybe they could design something new using those things? They could changed things up a bit instead of using the same signs.

HK is the world's first city to install screens in old stations built without them. The MTR paid HK$2 billion (well over 200 million US dollars) to do that.

The trains look really nice.

Hong Kong does not use LCD, they use Plasma at the stations nowadays.

Nanjing's subway stations give the feeling that they aren't grand or big. Maybe its because they don't really have a sense of open space. Personally, I think Nanjing should have copied Shanghai or Beijing's subway system.

MTR is a good example to follow. A subway needs to be functional, no need to make it looks different just for making it looks different. Nanjing Metro just looks great.

That looks more like a KCR station.

OMG, those are gorgeous pictures. Very nice update, carry on!

I heard Hangzhou city has a permission to start building subway recently. Hope it also built a nice subway, Hangzhou and Nanjing are rivals

[simhks]

Very Nice Indeed!
