THE SYSTEM
|
|
|
The city of Genoa (Genova) has 800,000 inhabitants and lies on terraces along the hills of the Ligurian Apennines on the Italian Riviera. From 1990 until 2003, Genoa's first metro line was a very short metro (3.5 km). The first section between Brin and Dinegro opened in 1990 after long delays. Most of the track between these two stations runs through the Certosa tunnel opened in 1908 for a tramway line. Two years later the 660m section from Dinegro to Principe, one of the city's two main railway stations, was added. The short line was served by three trains, two of them operating in double traction and one single. Before the line was extended to San Giorgio in July 2003, Principe station had to be closed from Dec. 2002 to extend its platform to the standard 80m. |
