The Huancayo metro or Metro Wanka was a cheating railway project to steal money from the state of Peru. In 2012 the mayor of the city of Huancayo declared that this city was to become the second city in Peru with a metro system. Money was obtained first for buying the needed rolling stock. The metro service was supposed to have seven stations near the city of Huancayo high up in the Andes. In practise all that was done was that some scrapped diesel railbuses of the Danish type Lynette which had been built already in the beginning of the 1960s were bought. It was claimed that these two coaches long Lynettes could take up to 300 passengers. Then in 2013 more money from the state was asked for with the excuse that for security reasons a fence on both sides of the "metro line" should be built. In practise nothing was built at all and in August of 2013 it was announced that the work had been stopped and even the very old Lynettes were "given elsewhere". A lot of state money disappeared and also the trains disappeared.
This picture shows the front of one of the old Lynettes, a former train of the Helsingør-Hornbæk Banen in Denmark. Picture by Adrian Gray.

This was the "metro station" of the cheating Metro Wanka project.
