The Metro: English site, station redesigns, train to PVG?

Alert web surfers notice that the Shanghai Metro has redesigned their website. The English version is well done, and has some cool "inside" pictures of the subway car storage warehouse.

Poster QQme reports columns going up near Pudong airport that suggest work has already begun on the eastern extension of Line 2. Other commenters wonder if this will make the Maglev even more of a white elephant.

Poster aabcdefj must be on the inside because he got a series of pictures of the construction going on at Line 6's subway car storage house, to be completed for the delivery of the first cars in March.

And finally, we leave you with a few planning pictures of future station platform designs:

Xujiahui
Xujiahui is going to be a multi-level station.

Jing'an Temple
Jing’an Temple is going to be given an updated, lighter look.

Zhongshan Park
Posters look for escalators in the Line 2 to Line 3 interchange.

Yuyuan Lu
