The Nevsko-Vasileostrovskaya Line (Russian: Невско-Василеостровская), is a line of the Saint Petersburg Metro, opened in 1967. It became famous by consisting almost exclusively of "Horizontal Lift" type stations. It is also the line of the Metro which has the longest inter-station tunnels. This feature was due to the fact that the Metro officials originally intended to add stations in-between the existing ones. However, those plans were later abandoned. The line cuts Saint Petersburg centre on an east-west axis and then turns southeast following the left bank of the Neva River. It is generally coloured green on Metro maps.

Future transfer to Line 5 is planned via Admiralteiskaya
[edit] Rolling stock
The Nevskoe depot (№ 5) serves the line. Presently 36 six carriage trains are assigned to it.
[edit] Recent developments and future plans
No extensions are planned, but a station Admiralteiskaya is planned between Gostinny Dvor and Vasileostrovskaya to be a transfer to the line 5. The station Proletarskaya was closed for reconstruction on August 25, 2005. Originally, it was intended to reopen on February 25, 2007, but the reconstruction was finished ahead of schedule, allowing the station to reopen on November 17, 2006
