French article on Baghdad metro plans

Posted on 22 December 200824 April 2013 by Andrew Grantham

The November 2008 issue of French magazine Le Rail has a two-page article Bagdad aura-t-elle finalement son métro?, looking at the history of plans for a metro in Baghdad.

The map of Ligne 1 du métro appears to show the Central station — Dora comuter train, rather than Line 1 as previously proposed.
