Booster Lines
To increase passenger capacity on the central parts of the subway, additional trains are scheduled which reverse before the line terminus and run only the central areas of Nürnberg. To reduce passenger confusion these trains are assigned a different line designation (line number):
| Line | Route | Opened | Length | Stations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| U 11 | Eberhardshof ↔ Messe | 1972–2007 | 8.1 km (5.033 mi) | 14 |
| U 21 | Röthenbach → Ziegelstein | 1984–1999 | 11.0 km (6.835 mi) | 15 |

Famous quotes containing the word lines:
“Every living language, like the perspiring bodies of living creatures, is in perpetual motion and alteration; some words go off, and become obsolete; others are taken in, and by degrees grow into common use; or the same word is inverted to a new sense or notion, which in tract of time makes an observable change in the air and features of a language, as age makes in the lines and mien of a face.”
—Richard Bentley (1662–1742)
