Encyclopedia
The Nevsko-Vasileostrovskaya Line , is a line of the Saint Petersburg Metro

It stands out among St. Petersburg metro lines for two reasons — its stations are almost exclusively of "Horizontal Lift" type and it has the longest inter-station tunnels in the entire system. Metro officials originally intended to add stations in-between the existing ones, but those plans were later abandoned.
The line cuts Saint Petersburg

Future transfer to Line 5 is planned via Admiralteiskaya
