Gorjului is a metro station in Bucharest named after the Piaţa Gorjului (Gorjului Square), east of which is situated.
It was added later to the system in the 1990s, and built in two stages. First built was the platform for trains headed for Industriilor, and after a few years, the platform for trains headed for Eroilor entered revenue service. As a consequence the two platforms and associated vestibules were built with different materials and different colour schemes were used (the outbound platform features a warm reddish colour scheme, while the inbound platform uses a darker colder materials and colours).

Famous quotes containing the word station:
“I introduced her to Elena, and in that life-quickening atmosphere of a big railway station where everything is something trembling on the brink of something else, thus to be clutched and cherished, the exchange of a few words was enough to enable two totally dissimilar women to start calling each other by their pet names the very next time they met.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (18991977)
