Nadrazi Praha-Horni Mecholupy, Prague, Bohemia(CZ), 2015
![Nadrazi Praha-Horni Mecholupy, Prague, Bohemia(CZ), 2015 Nadrazi Praha-Horni Mecholupy, Prague, Bohemia(CZ), 2015](https://cdn.ipernity.com/200/47/34/52424734.489f0c38.640.jpg?r2)

Horni Mecholupy wasn't radically different before the 2005 reconstruction, although the speed limit was notably lower. Although I've rarely, if ever, ridden through this station at the full 160 Km/h (99 m.p.h.), it is supposedly good for it. There isn't any station building there, and these shelters added a few years after the reconstruction (I think in 2009 or so) were originally made mostly out of tempered glass, with a metal frame, as on bus stops. These survived only about a week, as I recall, first being covered in graffiti, and then being destroyed entirely. The construction contractors didn't attempt to rebuild the shelters in their original form, instead putting metal sides on them, as on the 1987-era shelters at Strasnice. These then were covered with graffiti, posters, and other debris, making them look just as horrible, but at least now they provide some shelter from the weather. I don't remember if I've ever used Horni Mecholupy, but it's possible I used it once, when a connecting bus was better from there than from Hostivar. I've taken similar shortcuts through Praha-Uhrineves, at least. Horni Mecholupy seems, from the vandalism, to be so insecure, though, that it I wouldn't consider it a very safe station to use, even in the daytime. This is unfortunate, because there are many examples of similar station in Prague and abroad which don't have this problem. For example, Uhrineves seems perfectly usable, and it's only one stop south of Horni Mecholupy. Incidentally, the storage area in the background of this photo had, until shortly before I took this, been a go kart track.
