Next is Ploshchad Lenina--I'm fond of the design used for the lighting herepic.twitter.com/1DqZQAR0ok
Oktyabrskaya is a simple design--nice marble, stately, well-litpic.twitter.com/hmRusxBkUM
Rechnoy Vokzal is probably my favorite design on the entire network--marvelous futuristic aesthetic complemented unexpectedly by stained glass windows! It's a part-submerged station; here the line changes from a subway to an elevated railway...pic.twitter.com/4TWLOlKfHB
...so that it can cross the Ob River on this striking, elegant bridge!pic.twitter.com/1kXRJlWifK
On the far side of the Ob, the line heads underground again before reaching Studencheskaya Stationpic.twitter.com/bhti5bqnab
Finally, we reach the terminal at Ploshchad Marksa. Another station with very cool lights! There has been an extension planned for years but I'm not aware of any progress on it.pic.twitter.com/IrkgAg1n31
The Dzerzhinskaya Line is even shorter--just five stations! We'll start at the western end, at Ploshchad Garina-Mikhailovskogo Stationpic.twitter.com/MhQZwrF25H
Next is Sibirskaya, the transfer station--lots of stone art on the walls here, not quite sure if they're mosaics or something elsepic.twitter.com/DFBAcBffja
Marshala Pokryshkina looks fantastic--very clean lines and edges, very well-lit, spacious overhead, excellent overall aestheticpic.twitter.com/mQqoQW0IjM
Beryozovaya Roshcha makes good use of reflective surfaces to keep its cavernous space illuminatedpic.twitter.com/jMlGz33hgP
Finally, we reach the terminal at Zolotaya Niva. A touch of gold...what a beautiful station!pic.twitter.com/AJzg6JcAOM
Thank you for exploring the Novosibirsk Metro with #TrainTwitter today! Even smaller networks and smaller cities can aspire to elegance and beauty in their railways--be ambitious, seek excellence! We hope you will ride with us again soon

a metro system without litter is so foreign to my eyes that they're currently hurting to adjust
