Tbilisi Metro

A train enters the station

The arch creates a strong roof for the deep stations

Some stations still sport Soviet-era signage in Russian, such as Delisi

Delisi station

The front has been upgraded but the train is old

Redecorated in Georgian colours

The old traincar numbers are beautiful

Waiting to board the next train in Station Square

Each stop has its own unique style

Escalators are often provided to save climbing hundreds of steps

The Metro can be entered through underground crosswalks such as these (English graffiti here can get quite silly!)

Usually with the "M" sign but sometimes missing

Or at ground-level entrances such as this

I've started a tumblr blog entitled "мы из будущего", or, "we are from the future" inspired by the name of the Soviet Russian television programme named as such (not the modern film). In it I post various photos and scans of items of interest from the USSR. Some of these will be shown on Philosophothought, but much won't make it this far. This accompanies my other tumblr blog X Over It (and similarly named youtube channel, still with only one video though) which is about typewriters and mostly duplicates information from Philosophothought.
