Bucharest Metro M5 Orange Line - Metroul Bucuresti Linia M5 - Start at Eroilor 2 - March 2021

This video I shot on the newest line in Bucharest's metro system, line M5 (Orange line), in the capital of Romania. It starts at the redeveloped Eroilor station and ends at Raul Doamnei and consists of 10 stops. It will eventually add another 5 heading toward Pantelimon.

I was waiting for this to open the last few years and after delays it finally did and I missed it! Then because of Corona, I simply haven't been using the metro as much as I used to. Eroilor is about 400m from my place and the new line created a second station effectively adjacent to the existing one, so you have Eroilor 1 still servicing M1 (Yellow) and M3 (Red) lines and now Eroilor 2 servicing the M5. You can connect to all three lines at Eroilor.

Nice looking platforms and infrastructure but strange some platforms have been designed with such a curve in them that the driver can no longer see the last cars to close the doors. Now a second person in the cab gets out walks as far as they need to see round the curve then runs back to the cab to give the all clear. Also why is it that brand new stations still have an up escalator and thats it and stairs to go down!

Aside from that looks good.
