Soviet subway that doesn’t exist

The history of the Volgograd Metrotram is truly unique. As you know, in cities with a population of more than a million people in the Soviet years, it was supposed to start the construction of the subway. At one time Volgograd did not quite reach this figure, but the city really wanted to build a metro. Then a compromise was found - to make an underground light rail line in the city center. The construction of the line was carried out according to the metro norms with the prospect of launching it on the metro train line. Today the Volgograd high-speed tram is the most important mode of transport connecting several districts of the city. Enjoy!
