Nadrazi Praha-Vrsovice, Prague, Bohemia(CZ), 2015

Nadrazi Praha-Vrsovice, Prague, Bohemia(CZ), 2015
By the time I took this photo, Nadrazi Vrsovice's renovation was already more or less complete, having been renovated in 2007-2008, making it one of the earlier stations on the Prague-Ceske Budejovice route (technically Linka 220) to be completed. It was also one of the older stations on this route to be completed, in 1882, albeit under the name Nusle. In reality, Nadrazi Praha-Vrsovice is immediately on the border between the boroughs of Vrsovice and Nusle, so either name would be appropriate. The station was finally renamed Vrsovice, after a series of name changes, at the end of World War II in 1945. Getting back to 2015, just as significant as the 2007-2008 renovation itself was that Praha-Vrsovice also was one of the better-maintained stations after the 2008 rebuilding, as many of the stations on the route were quickly vandalized to the point where the renovation was irrelevant, sometimes before the stations were even reopened. I took this photo as part of a series on the route, although on this particular day I didn't make it to the end of the line (I ended up stopping in Mirosovice u Prahy). Today, Praha-Vrsovice remains in good condition, so careful supervision of the station has continued since I took this photo.
