I thought I'd list a few useful reference points for anyone interested in having a look at international metro systems on Google Earth. Obviously only the overground sections can be shown, which rules out the most interesting parts of the Paris and Moscow metro systems! Don't forget you can zoom in and out for better viewing.
Feel free to add anymore.
Mexico City Metro - Pantitlan (terminus of lines 1,5,9 and A, plus a few depots, and a massive bus station) 19 24'54.93"N 99 04'23.60"W Mexico City Metro - El Rosario (three track termini of lines 6, and 7, plus depots) 19 30'15.94"N 99 11'58.94"W Madrid Metro - Plaza De Castillo depot (an inner city depot) 40 28'04.50"N 3 41'29.16"W Madrid Metro - Cuatro Caminos depot (a double ended inner city depot) 40 26'43.31"N 3 42'17.90"W Bangkok Skytrain - Mo Chit (Sukhumvit Line terminus, headshunt, and depot) 13 48'09.43"N 100 33'12.92"E Hong Kong MTR - Chai Wan (Island Line terminus, follow track round to N for depot) 22 15'57.64"N 114 14'15.31"E
