Leninskaya Line (Russian: Ле́нинская линия), lit. Lenin Line, is a line of the Novosibirsk Metro. It consists of eight stations over 10.5 kilometres (6.5 mi) of track.[1] It bisects the city on a northwest–southeast axis before making a 90 degree turn and crossing the river Ob river on a closed bridge.
Leninskaya was the first line of the Metro and opened in 1986 with five stations. It expanded twice, in 1991 and 1992, adding three stations before financial difficulties slowed the development of new stations.
