While I don't think they would outnumber the Peter Witts in Milan, they are most likely the oldest subway cars in the world still in regular service.'That sounds likely. Budapest's line 1 ('The Millennium Subway') dates from 1897 - the city was founded in 897 A.D., hence the subway's title, nothing to do with Y2K! - still looks very old-fashioned, but I suspect the cars are replicas, not originals. |
