Radomir to become part of Sofia

Wed, Jan 02 2008 15:53 CET bySpasena Baramova 547 Views

The number of trains travelling between Sofia and the town of Radomir would be increased as of the beginning of 2008, zagrada.bg quote executive director of the Railway Infrastructure agency Simeon Ananiev as saying. The extra trains would be running in the morning and evening hours when people go to and come back from work.

The electric trains travelling until now on the Pernik-Sofia line will continue their route to Radomir. A terminal is to be built at the city's station.

Radomir is included in a project connecting Sofia and the settlements around it with a city railway. Radomir will be the starting point for people travelling to Sofia from Southwestern Bulgaria, the areas of Kyustendil and Blagoevgrad.

A doubling of the Sofia-Radomir railway line is expected in the years to come. There was an expert proposition for the tripling of the line as well, since the shortest railway connection between Germany and Greece passed through there, Ananiev said.

The Sofia and Pernik municipalities have been working on a metro project. The idea is that the so called third diameter, which is for now thought to pass from Sofia's Levski residential area through the Podouene residential area and the National Palace of Culture (NDC) to the Knyazhevo residential area, continues to Pernik. From there it can be further continued to Radomir if it turns out that there are enough people travelling.
