Bus Station - Pripyat - April 2013

[mrtoby]

We all know Pripyat and the story. I went there last week and although its totally played out and is now a full-on tourist attraction it still is shocking to see first hand.

This was on the first day of a 2 day tour I did with a non-forum friend and one of the many buildings we hit up. I recommend anyone thinking of going to get over there ASAP.

Pipryiat bus station closed in April 1986 after the explosion in Chernobyl. The station is situated just on the city border and is a fairly small building still containing lots of character.

And finally the bus route map still hanging on the wall....

Thanks for looking.
