Russia

The Russian section need a really huge amendment/augmentation. It's not just ghost stations in Moscow subway, it's whole ghost lines in there, a city in city. I'd be glad to contribute in writing on that, just needs some real time, as data arrays are huge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.107.212.86 (talk) 13:19, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mobil Ave

Is Mobil Ave a fictional ghost station? Can it be mentioned in an article? --Yuriy Lapitskiy ~ 15:31, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A ghost station is one that has been closed and where trains pass through without stopping. If I recall, the station in the movie doesn't fit that definition -- don't trains stop there? --Jfruh (talk) 16:26, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Other cities

Have there been other cities except Berlin, were Ghost stations appeared? 85.178.43.227 (talk) 05:51, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See Other cities. But these are just regular closedowns, none have a history related to an inner city border or the cold war like Berlin. Anorak2 (talk) 08:17, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ireland has a lot of Ghost stations (some but not all on them on disused lines) however none of them are underground. 213.40.103.55 (talk) 13:05, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

B Assessment

It's a good article, but how does it get a B rating when there are no references or sources? Bermicourt (talk) 15:02, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Surface stations

Shall we include stations on the surface and with what criteria ? Passing traffic required? Platforms and rain shelters remaining ? If we include any disused station in the world, we would swamp the article so that the original intention, underground stations would not be seen. --BIL (talk) 07:40, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Finland

All three stations mentioned in the section for Finland aren't really ghost stations.

Munkkivuori was planned for much lighter system which was never built. Furthermore, there's only ticket hall / mezzanine (now used for mall's shops), and a smallish cavern inside which the present metro system wouldn't fit.

Kamppi does have a lower level cavern for a once planned metro line, which was never built. It's also too small for modern building standards. There has never been any tracks or tunnels connecting to it, and it's interior is unfinished.

Hakaniemi does have another cavern, but once again, it is too small for the current system. In contrast to the article, it's not on the lower level, but at the same level and parallel to the existing metro station. There are plans to build a commuter heavy rail loop under the city center, and the small second cavern would be the site for the loop line rail station. However, the station would be multiple times larger than the current hole.

So, I suggest that the whole section of Finland should be removed. In fact, I just removed it myself, feel free to revert it if the consensus thinks that those fit in the "ghost station" category. Caret (talk) 17:46, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Berlin: U-Bahnhof Stadion der Weltjugend/Schwartzkopffstraße - inaccurate name on map

Whilst the map of the ghost stations in Berlin is useful, it is historically inaccurate inasmuch as it shows the U-Bahn station Schwartzkopffstraße as a "ghost station" on the U6, the last station in the East before passing under the Wall and continuing to Reinickendorfer Strasse in Wedding (West Berlin). It also shows Nordbahnhof twice whereas in fact the next station on the U6 is Naturkundemuseum.

Schwartzkopffstraße was the original name when the station was constructed in 1923, but for the entire period of its existence as a "ghost station" (1961-1990) it was called "Stadion der Welt Jugend/Stadium of World Youth".

Ideally the creator of the original graphic Ericmetro would be able to create a revised version.

See Schwartzkopffstraße (Berlin U-Bahn) --Mowerbyte (talk) 21:19, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article Schwartzkopffstraße (Berlin U-Bahn) tells, that the station was named "Ulbrichtstadion" from 1951 to 1973 (including the first 12 years of the Berlin Wall) and was then renamed to "Stadion der Weltjugend" (take the compounded "Weltjugend" vs. "Welt Jugend"). The station Naturkundemuseum bore the name "Nordbahnhof" from 1951 to 1991 (including the whole period of the Berlin Wall). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.187.19.181 (talk) 09:46, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Mowerbyte:: Thank you very much for your information. I will look into the documents and try to update the map soon. Regards. --Ericmetro (talk) 21:45, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Mowerbyte: The map has been updated. --Ericmetro (talk) 07:05, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ericmetro: Many thanks for taking the time to do this -- Mowerbyte (talk) 16:34, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Czech Republic

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_station#Czech_Republic

i doubt the Czech people know the meaning of a "ghost station". A couple of years and reopening doesn't define the station as a ghost station, neither a temporary closedown for rebuilding...Please remove the section... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.235.60.62 (talk) 23:45, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bülowstraße Turkish bazaar - Friedrichstraße (Berlin U-Bahn) with a DDR tax-free store in the U-Bahn

Bülowstraße (Berlin U-Bahn) was went out of service in 1972 due to the interruption of the U2 line by the construction of the Berlin Wall. The building then hosted a Turkish bazaar in discarded U-Bahn wagons, until in 1993 the eastern and western parts of the U2 were reconnected. Indeed quite a remarkble experience vistiting it, at that time. To me a completely different ghost station experience from thise of Stadtmitte (Berlin U-Bahn) and Friedrichstraße (Berlin U-Bahn).

Stadtmitte (Berlin U-Bahn) with armed guards on the platform, and the station completely erased from the ground above (impossible to see it existed below from the street). Are there no pictures from someone?

The Friedrichstraße (Berlin U-Bahn) did not just have state border control with visa issuing (for non-Berliners on the spot) but also an Intershop DDR tax-free store in the U-bahn, was quite an experience.
