Arsenalnaya (Арсенальная) is a station on Kiev’s metro Red Line (Красная ветка).
I had been told a few times that it was the deepest metro station in Europe. Today, while I was getting off at Arsenalnaya, I decided to ask a bunch of young students about the depth of the station.
They were not sure, they started guessing. One of them suggested to google it right there! So we did!
It’s surprising that there is Internet signal in the deepest station of the world!
And the we found that Arsenalnaya is 105m deep! Wikipedia says it’s the deepest station in the world!
Note: Everyone, even native speakers make mistakes. In the dialogue you may have noticed that the first guy says трех ста which is not very correct; The Genitive Case of триста (300) is трехсот. The other guy later on will say it correctly.
