Budapest Unesco Opera - a photo on Flickriver

Budapest Unesco Opera

            Budapest's first metro line was completed in 1896, being the first underground railway in Continental Europe and second only to the London Underground as the oldest underground metro system in the world. 
The Millennium Underground or 'Yellow Line' runs northeast from the city centre beneath the historic Andrássy ut (Avenue) to City Park. Although later extended (1970-73) with additional stations added, several of the underground stations still retain their classic features with tiled walls, paneled woodwork, brass fittings and steel support beams lined with rivets. The M1 Line was declared a UNESCO world heritage site in 2002. 
In this view taken at Opera (serving the Hungarian State Opera House) one of the regular frequency BKV Metro units [33] rattles into a surprisingly deserted station. These Ganz MFAV 3-car articulated units were specially designed and built in the early 1970s for operations in the Line's shallow loading gauge tunnel.
