>>1039919Apparently the page has disappeared, can't find it. Finnish version is up and running though.
>>1039919>I really like the idea that the whole thing is going to be made in FinlandTurku system has been on city council table but nothing has decided. In general the system will be technically same as the new Tampere light rail because some cooperation contract.
But yes, I like it too. Finnish rolling stock like the trams and trains has been proven to work in these climates. Only perfect foreign rolling stock has been built by Stadler and their Flirt trains, no problems with them.
>Are there any maps or news regarding the new system? Blue is the first phase, red's the second.
Before they planned to do the Skanssi section instead the Raisio.
>Who is building Western Metro?Western metro in Helsinki was a mash of different companies.
Not sure of the tracks, but the new rolling stock was CAF build and signalling was by Siemens. The Siemens signalling was the problem because it was planned that Siemens would turn the system into automatic operation but there was some corruption-tier stuff and disagreements and suprise costs. Also the Western extension platforms are shorter than existing ones (90m while existing are 135m) meaning that the whole systems has to short down. They have started the 4 car operation, which is frustrating in rush hour because there is the space for 2 cars more.
The opening has been delayed by years now and there were problems like 3rd rail wrongly installed and shit fireproofing.
