Ridng the M2 line of the Budapest Metro from Déli pályaudvar to Széll Kálmán tér. Hungary, 09/08/24

Déli pályaudvar (Southern railway station) is the western terminus of the M2 (East-West) line of the Budapest Metro. It serves the Déli railway station and its vicinity. The station was opened on 22 December 1972 as the terminus of the extension of the line from Deák Ferenc tér.

Széll Kálmán tér (Széll Kálmán Square) is a station on the M2 (East-West) line of the Budapest Metro. It is located under Széll Kálmán Square in Buda. From its opening in 1972 until 2011, the station (and square) was known as Moszkva tér.

The station was opened on 22 December 1972 as part of the extension of the line from Deák Ferenc tér station to Déli pályaudvar station. At 38.4 metres (126 ft) below ground level, it is the deepest station of the Budapest Metro. Near the station, numerous bus and tram routes pass or converge, making it one of the city's major transport interchanges.

The station is accessed by a building in the centre of the square, the exterior of which is strikingly similar to that of Saint Petersburg's Pionerskaya Station. Within this building, escalators descend directly from street level to platform level. At the foot of the escalators is a concourse, which gives access to platform faces on either side, forming a single island platform.


Line 2 (officially: East-West Line, Metro 2 or M2, and unofficially: Red Line) is the second line of the Budapest Metro. The line runs east from Déli pályaudvar in north-central Buda under the Danube to the city center, from where it continues east following the route of Rákóczi út to its terminus at Örs vezér tere.

Prior to the 2014 opening of Line 4, it was the only line that served Buda. Daily ridership is estimated at 350,000.

History
The first plans for the second Budapest metro line were made in 1942, and the Council of Ministers authorised its construction in 1950. Line 2 was originally planned to connect two major railway stations, Keleti (Eastern) and Déli (Southern) pályaudvar. The Council of Ministers wanted to complete the first section by 1954 between Deák Ferenc tér and Népstadion (today Puskás Ferenc Stadion), and the second section by 1955 between Déli pályaudvar and Deák Ferenc tér. Construction was suspended for financial and political reasons from 1954 till 1963. The ruling Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party decided to restart the construction at a party congress in 1959. It was finally opened with seven stations on April 2 (then a Communist holiday in Hungary) in 1970, and the second section in 1972. The eastern end of the line was extended to Örs vezér tere, instead of Népstadion. Operation started in 1970 with 3-car trains, expanded to 4-car trains soon after, and 5-car trains since 1972. A major reconstruction of the track and stations was undertaken between 2004 and 2008, with new trains arriving in 2010. The new trains went into service two years later, in September 2012, and by April 2013 the line was solely served by new trains.

On December 5, 2016, an accident occurred on the line which involved an AM5-M2 rolling stock. An incoming train collided with a waiting train at the Pillangó utca metro station. This was the first serious accident in the history of the Budapest metro. The accident did not result in a fatality, but according to the prosecution, a total of twenty-one were injured, five of whom were classified as serious.

M2 runs in an east–west direction through the city, and it was the first metro line to cross the River Danube and reach Buda (the western part of Budapest). It has a transfer station with Line 1 and Line 3 at Deák Ferenc tér, and a transfer station for Line 4 at Keleti pályaudvar.


Riding the Vienna U-Bahn from Schottentor to Praterstern. Austria, 08/08/24

Schottentor is a station on U2 of the Vienna U-Bahn. It is located in the Innere Stadt District, below Maria-Theresien-Straße. It opened in 1980.

The station is an interchange node between U2 and 10 tramway lines, 5 of them using a small underground section as a terminal station.

The name of the station derives from the Schottentor, a former city gate in the Vienna city wall, which was demolished in 1860.

Praterstern is a station on U1 and U2 of the Vienna U-Bahn. Above the U-Bahn station is the Wien Praterstern railway station, which is served by regional trains, and by lines S1, S2, S3 and S7 of the Vienna S-Bahn.

Both stations are located in the Leopoldstadt District. The U-Bahn station opened in 1981.


Line U2 is a line on the Vienna U-Bahn metro system. Opened in 1980, it currently has 20 stations and a total length of 16.7 km (10.4 mi), from Schottentor to Seestadt. It is connected to U1 at Praterstern and U4 at Schottenring.

Since May 2021, the section from Karlsplatz to Schottentor has been closed due to the construction of the not-yet-opened U5. Since the closure, Line U2 only runs between Schottentor and Seestadt, totaling just 16 stations and losing its only connection to U3 at Volkstheater, as well as connections at Karlsplatz to U1 and U4.
