Here's another 81-71M Class arriving in Andel. In unrebuilt form, these would have been the original B-Line trains.

The ceiling in the platform area of Andel would have no doubt looked quite futuristic in 1977, although I don't know if it's original. I brings to mind sci-fi movies of the period.

Moskevska station, on the B-Line, now known as Andel, was built between 1977 and 1985, and was one of the original B-Line stations. It also featured more Communist propaganda in its design than any other station, especially the bronzes along the platforms celebrating the Moscow Olympics in 1980, as well as the Soviet space programme. Another theme was the "friendship" or "peace" between Moscow and Prague.......since the Soviet army invaded Prague in 1968 to ensure this would always be the case. In spite of the Soviet Union's fall, and the Velvet Revolution against Communist rule in Czechoslovakia, the modern-day Czech authorities have left the Andel station alone, with the only change being the name change to Andel in 1990.
