Riga Central station train platforms

 Central station train platforms. The old soviet time trains and mostly outdated railway infrastructure is one thing which makes Riga quite a unique city in European Union. It could start to change in a few years - a deal (with "Škoda vagonka") for purchasing new trains has been been signed and it is expected they will start to replace the old trains (which were produced here in Riga some 30+ years go) in 2022. Will have to wait much longer for Central station reconstruction though - it's planned to happen in "RailBaltica" project, expected around 2026.            

 Centrālās stacijas vilcienu peroni. Vecie padomju laiku vilcieni un nemodernā dzelzceļa infrastruktūra ir viena lieta, kas Rīgu dara par visai unikālu galvaspilsētu Eiropas Savienībā. Tuvāko gadu laikā tas varētu sākt mainīties - noslēgts līgums ar "Škoda Vagonka" par jaunu vilcienu iegādi un sagaidāms, ka pirmie tiks piegādāti 2022. gadā. Līdz Centrālās stacijas rekonstrukcijai gan gaidāms krietni ilgāks laiks - tā plānota "RailBaltica" projekta ietvaros ap 2026. gadu.
