Náměstí Míru

Náměstí míru is the name of a square in Vinohrady - a town district consisting mostly of apartement blocks from the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, when it developed as an independent town (though in fact a suburb of Prague). In the beginning of the 20th century it was united to Prague and now it is part of the wider centre of the city. Náměstí míru means 'Square of the Peace'.
There is a tram crossing next to the square and quite busy tram stop near the metro station.
The station itself is the deepest metro station in Prague: The platform is 52 metres deep, because the track have to climb in the hilly terrain of Prague from the Vltava valley to the higher areas in the east.

The tram stop on the square.
On the left you can see the church of St Ludmila.

One of the entrances to the station next to the church and near the tram stop.

The vestibule and ticket hall of the station. In the background you can see the escalator shaft to the platform.

Another view of the vestibule in the opposite direction.

Closer view of the ticket hall with theescalator shaft.

The escalator shaft - the longest one in Prague - looking downward from the upper end.

And upward from the bottom.

A view of the central aisle with the lower end of the escalators. The station has been refurbished recently and thus is looking very clean and shiny.

The opposite end of the central aisle with a map of Prague public transport system and box with useful information.

The westbound platform.
I like the bright blue color on the wall. It denotes that in the future Náměstí míru is planned to be a transfer station with a new metro line D, which will be assumedly signed with blue color.

A westbound train of the older 8171 stock leaves the station for Muzeum. The 8171 stock is no more in use on line A, all trains in regular service on this line are now of the modernised 8171M stock. The 8171 trains are still in use on line B. (2006)

And the eastbound platform.
