Metro To Stalingrad
After Sacre Coeur I took Line 2 of the Metro to Stalingrad.
A lot of the line is an elevated railway on massive steel viaducts, something that isn’t very common in London, except for parts of the Docklands Light Railway and the Overground.
In a modern version, we tend to use massive bowspring or tied-arch bridges as at Haggerston and Shoreditch High Street rather than the heavy Victorian girders.
Both forms done correctly and with taste, add interest to the street-scape.

The station was renamed to commemorate the battle. I don’t think we’ve ever renamed a station after an event in the UK.
