Állatkert station, the old and the new M1 route map
When the M1 line was built, Állatkert and Széchényi fürdo were both above ground stations. In 1973, in connection with the extension to Mexikói út, the line was enclosed along with Széchényi fürdo station; and the site of Állatkert station became abandoned. [1][2]
