Praha-Strasnice Zastavka, Prague, Bohemia(CZ), 2015

Praha-Strasnice Zastavka, Prague, Bohemia(CZ), 2015
"Zastavka" and "Nadrazi" can be synonymous in Czech, although "Zastavka" usually indicates a more minor stop. In this case, Strasnice Zastavka had not been staffed since 1987, and the vandalism visible in this shot makes this obvious. The metal shelters date to that era, as they had replaced the original wooden station buildings from 1905. The pedestrian bridge, however, did date to 1905. Having said this, the heavily-vandalized state of this station was probably a factor in its closure in 2020, to be replaced by the new stations at Eden (opened in 2020) and Zahradni Mesto (opened in 2021). Eden has the advantage of being adjacent to a major shopping centre of the same name, as well as the Fortuna Arena.
