(ANSA) - Rome, June 25 - Rome's Repubblica metro stop, closed
since Russian soccer fans caused an escalator accident in
October, will reopen on Wednesday, source said Tuesday.
The station on the A line, close to Rome's opera house, was
closed on October 23 after some 20 CSKA Moscow fans, in Rome for
a Champions League match against AS Roma, were involved in an
accident that caused the escalator to stop.
The closure has thus lasted 246 days.
Technical problems had caused two other A line stations to be
closed, Barberini and Spagna.
But Spagna, near the Spanish Steps, was recently reopened.
Barberini, near the Trevi Fountain, remains closed.
