Updated circuit with mcc line. From nati to mtsk

You've probably already noticed the new scheme that appeared in the Moscow metro on December 21, 2015. The diagram now has a new ring with an abbreviation that is not quite usual for the metro. Moscow Ring Railway - Moscow Ring Railway - is another ring in Moscow, which is designed to relieve the constantly growing passenger traffic in the capital.

Why is the railway line diagram present on the metro map?

The explanation is simple. The Moscow Railway, scheduled for launch in the fall of 2016, will form a single transport hub with the Moscow Metro. Another type of ground transport will appear in Moscow - city ​​train closely linked to the metro infrastructure and existing railway stations. This type of public transport is widely used in large cities Worldwide.

Of the 31 stations of the Moscow Railway, 17 can be transferred to the metro, and practically without going outside, since the crossings connecting railway stations and metro stations will be covered and form a single transport terminal - Transport Interchange Nodes (TPU). At 10 stations there will be a transfer to other railway stations.

The fare will be the same as in the metro. You won't have to pay extra for a transplant.

Trains of a new type from 5 to 10 wagons with a convenient unambiguous design will run on the Moscow Railway. The estimated capacity will be at least 1250 people. The head cars will be equipped with seats for people with disabilities and a system for boarding and disembarking people in wheelchairs.

The trains will also have WI-FI with free internet, tinted windows, information boards on different languages, climate control system. The head carriage will have a toilet for passengers and the locomotive crew.

Parking lots will be created at the stations for motorists switching to electric trains.

Well, in conclusion, the most pleasant thing - the planned interval of movement is 6 minutes!

January 2016

The Moscow Central Circle of the MCC is the official name of the new transport system that will open today. Adjustments have been made to train intervals - 15 minutes, and during rush hours - 6 minutes. 26 out of 31 stations open today - Vladykino, Botanical Garden, Rostokino, Belokamennaya, Rokossovsky Boulevard, Lokomotiv, Izmailovo, Enthusiasts Highway, Andronovka, Nizhegorodskaya, Novokhokhlovskaya, Ugreshskaya, Avtozavodskaya, ZIL, Upper Boilers, Crimean, Gagarin Square, Luzhniki, Kutuzovskaya, Business Center, Shelepikha, Horoshevo, Streshnevo, Baltic, Likhobory, Okruzhnaya. The remaining 5 - Dubrovka, Zorge, Sokolinaya Gora, Koptevo and Panfilovskaya - will open at the end of the year.

On September 10, 2016, the Moscow Central Circle will open for passengers in the capital. True, construction work on the new highway will continue after this date: according to the head of the transport department, Maxim Liksutov, some MCC stations will be completed after the start of work. Nevertheless, officials are seriously counting on the highway and hope that within the next two years it will become popular among the townspeople. Anticipating the opening of the Central Circle, The Village answers the most popular questions about the new form of urban transport.

What is the MCC?

The Moscow Central Circle (formerly known as the Moscow Ring Railway) is a new interchange circuit that is supposed to unite the metro and the radial lines of suburban railways and greatly relieve the burden on the center of Moscow by removing transit passengers from it.

According to its designers, the launch of the track will relieve the metro by 15%, and the average travel time will decrease by 20 minutes (for example, the travel time from Leninsky Prospekt station to Mezhdunarodnaya station will be reduced from half an hour to ten minutes). In other words, thanks to the MCC, it will be possible to transfer from one metro or electric train line to another, bypassing the center. In addition, the MCC should partly solve the so-called Vykhino problem - a situation in which trains going to the center are filled immediately at the terminal metro stations. Passengers of electric trains arriving from the Moscow region will be able to change trains to the new ring, and from there - on the metro lines and other suburban directions.

How did the idea for the project come about?

The creation of the MCC is not really a revolutionary idea at all. In most western metropolises, the metro and the electric train are not separated and are one and the same transport: this practice allows passengers to move around the city much faster and easier. The designers of the ring themselves cite Berlin as an example, where the S-Bahn city train and the U-Bahn metro coexist within the same system.

The central ring was created on the basis of the Moscow district railroad, the decision on the construction of which was made in late XIX century at the initiative of the Minister of Finance Russian Empire Sergei Witte. They built a ring around Moscow according to the project of engineer P.I.Rashevsky from 1903 to 1908. According to the initial project, the route was supposed to have four tracks, which would be divided between goods and passenger traffic, but due to lack of funds, only two tracks were built. In 1930, passenger traffic was closed due to the development of buses and trams, only freight trains began to walk around the ring.

The return of passenger traffic to the loop is not new idea: they wanted to launch it back in the 60s, but this was prevented by the complexity of the electrification of the ring. Yuri Luzhkov returned to this project at the end of the 2000s, but the reconstruction of the MCC began under Sobyanin in 2012. The ring was finally electrified, in addition, a third track was built for freight traffic. The total investment in the project, which was jointly carried out by Russian Railways and the Moscow government, exceeded 200 billion rubles, and 86 billion of them came from the federal budget.

MCC and the Third Interchange Circuit - the same thing?

No. The MCC is often called the third interchange circuit and the second ring of the Moscow metro, but this is not so. The second circular metro line with a length of 58 kilometers will appear in the capital by 2020, and this year its first section will open - from Delovoy Tsentr station to Petrovsky Park. The new ring will also include the Kakhovskaya line, built in the late 1960s. If the MCC route is in force historical reasons displaced to the north, then the metro ring, on the contrary, will be displaced to the south. Thus, both lines will form a huge figure eight.

How will the MCC connect with other modes of transport?

In total, the MCC will have 31 stations (24 of them will be ready by September 10, the rest will be commissioned by 2018), each of which is planned to be connected to ground transport stops. In the first few months after the official launch of the ring, it will be possible to change to the metro at 14 stations, but then they promise to add such an opportunity at three more stops. Also, six stations of the MCC (later their number will increase to ten) will have transitions to stations of suburban electric trains.

The transfer time to the MCC will differ depending on the sections: the longest transition will be from the Voykovskaya metro station to the Streshnevo and Baltiyskaya stations - it will take 12 minutes, while the shortest one will take no more than three minutes. At 11 stations, builders promise to implement the principle of "dry feet": the crossings will be completely closed, which will allow people not to go outside. Ground communication is promised between the Volgogradskiy Prospekt metro station and the Ugreshskaya platform.

How much will the fare cost?

The fares for the central ring will be the same as for the metro. It will also be possible to use tickets "Ediny", "Troika" and "90 minutes". All the benefits that apply to travel on the metro will apply when using the MCC: special conditions for travel around the ring will be provided to disabled people, schoolchildren and students.

The number of transfers from the metro to the MCC and vice versa per trip is not limited. The only condition is that you have to have time to make all the transplants in 90 minutes. In the first month after the launch of the ring, passengers will have to reprogram the “Ediny” ticket if it was purchased before September 1, 2016, in order to make free trips and transfers to the MCC. This can be done at the ticket offices of the subway or monorail. For those who use the Troika card, starting from September 1, it will be enough to put on the card an amount of more than one ruble.

In addition, passengers will be able to buy tickets at the stations of the ring both for cash and with cards. They also plan to introduce a contactless fare payment system, which allows payment using a mobile phone, and PayPass / PayWave, thanks to which money will be debited automatically if you attach a bank card to the validator.

What will the stations look like?

For the opening of the MCC, the stations will be equipped with navigation panels in Russian and English... For visually impaired passengers, they promise to install tactile plates on lifts, stepless escalators and Braille. Also at each station there will be information boards and displays showing the time of arrival of the train, and at five stations - "Live Communication" counters. In addition, about 70 mirrors, 470 waste bins, gadget charging points, umbrella packers and free toilets will be installed. Trees will be placed in tubs for decoration. Unlike the metro, the MCC will have turnstiles not only at the entrance, but also at the exit, and the platforms will be treated with an anti-ice coating.

What trains will be on the MCC?

33 Lastochka trains (five cars each), which are produced at the Ural Locomotives plant in the town of Verkhnyaya Pyshma, Sverdlovsk Region, will run around the ring. The Lastochka prototype is a German electric train from Siemens AG, which served the guests and participants of the Sochi Olympics. This summer there was a scandal: during a test drive, the ED-4M electric train was too wide for the platform, but the Swallow had to fit into the dimensions of the track.

The maximum capacity of the Lastochka is 1,200 people, and the maximum speed is 120 kilometers per hour, but trains will move along the MCC no faster than 40-50 kilometers per hour. The MCC's opening hours are the same as those of the metro, but the interval of trains on the loop will be longer, ranging from five minutes at rush hour to 15 minutes at the rest of the time. Now the Yandex.Maps service is preparing to update the metro application in order to inform passengers about the train timetable not only of the metro, but also of the Moscow Central Circle.

All "Swallows" have soft seats and climate control systems. Passengers will be able to use Wi-Fi and devices for charging gadgets. Each train will have toilets at the beginning and end of the train. Unlike ordinary electric trains, Lastochka cars do not have vestibules, while the double doors are wide enough for passengers with limited mobility to pass through.

Will it be possible to ride with strollers and bicycles?

Two of the five carriages of the train (the second and the fourth) are equipped with bicycle racks. Each carriage can hold up to six bicycles. Also, the trains will provide space for strollers and other oversized carry-on luggage. Bicycle parking and bike rental stations are going to be built near each transport hub of the MCC. Now rentals are available near the stations "Delovoy Tsentr", "Ploschad Gagarin", "Luzhniki", "Botanical Garden" and "Vladykino".

How to navigate the ring?

On September 1, the Moscow government detailed maps MCC, which indicate transfers from the Central Ring to land and suburban transport, as well as on the metro line. The ring itself will be listed as Metro Line 14.

The names of the MCC stations either repeat the familiar names of nearby metro stations (Dubrovka, Vladykino), or indicate the area in which they are located (Ploshchad Gagarin, Luzhniki). In the summer, on the site of the Active Citizen project, a vote was held to rename the stations of the MCC Voikovskaya and Cherkizovskaya, as a result they received new names Baltiyskaya and Lokomotiv.

How will the MCC affect the urban outskirts?

The central ring runs mainly through industrial zones. According to the authorities, the emergence of new transport will contribute to the development of these territories, for example, ZIL. The mayor's office plans to improve the land adjacent to the MCC stations: to make parking spaces for cars and bicycles, bike rentals, landscaping, as well as to build about 750 thousand square meters of commercial real estate - hotels, trading floors, offices and technology parks.

At the same time, the preserved historical buildings of the Moscow Railway stations, which were designed by architects Alexander Pomerantsev, Nikolai Markovnikov and Ivan Rybin, are now being studied to determine the security zone for each of them. And in the fall, a museum of the history of the Moscow Central Circle will open at the Presnya station, which will display documents, photographs and films telling about the history of the highway.

Helpful information

No matter how trite it may sound, but the pace of human life is accelerating day by day. A person is constantly in a hurry somewhere: to work, to school, to the university. A well-coordinated transport system helps to manage to do all the things in addition to the correct organization of time. One of its parts is the MCC or the Moscow Central Circle.

History and scheme of the MCC

In the past, the ring had a different name - the Moscow District Railway. The first mentions of it date back to the end of the 19th century, a time when the industrial boom was actively developing. Then the goods were transported with the help of draft cabs. The process required a lot of time and effort. That is why the tycoon F.I. Chizhov proposed the idea of ​​building a ring road. On the one hand, it was just right. But on the other hand, a number of problems arose.

As it turned out, the state owns only 5% of all railways. All others are private property. Each has its own rules and rates. It took a lot of time to resolve this issue. But by the end of the 19th century, most of the roads still became state-owned.

The order to build the Moscow Circular Railway was given by Emperor Nicholas II on November 7, 1897. The commencement ceremony took place on August 3, 1903.

Moscow MCC Map of those times included several objects:

• 22 branches connecting with main railway tracks;
• 14 stations;
• 2 stopping points;
• 3 telegraph posts;
• 72 bridges, including those that go across the Moskva River;
• 30 overpasses;
• 185 culverts;
• 19 buildings for passengers;
• 30 houses;
• 2 houses for employees;
• 2 baths;
• 2 reception rooms.

The work was carried out under the supervision of the best Russian engineers and architects. These include N. A. Belelyubsky, L. D. Proskuryakov, A. N. Pomerantsev.

Now MCC station map looks like that:

• 31 stations;
• 17 stations for transfers to other metro lines;
• 10 stations for transferring to electric trains.

More than 200,000,000,000 rubles were spent on the construction of the facility. The total length of the roads is 54 km. The round trip will take 84 minutes. Each train running between stations can accommodate 1,200 passengers.

Moscow metro map with MCC, travel and statistics

In fact, the MCC is part of the Moscow metro. In the documents, it is designated as the Second Ring Line of the Metro. This transport system is inextricably linked with it by the form of fare and transfers. On metro maps, routes are marked with a white line with red edging. Each of them has a MCC signature and a serial number.

Transportation is carried out by more than three dozen Lastochka trains. Each of them accommodates 1,200 people. The maximum speed reaches 120 km / h, but the operating speed will remain at the level of 40-50 km / h. The train service interval ranges from 5 to 15 minutes. It all depends on the time of day. They will be driving more often during rush hour.

All "Swallows" are equipped with soft seats and climate control systems. Passengers can connect WI-FI and even charge their gadgets.

Trains do not have vestibules. However, their wide double doors make it easy to transport passengers with reduced mobility.

MCC has a lot of peculiarities and nuances. The numbers below will help you see how ambitious the idea for its construction was.

1. The ring road, which later became the MCC, was built 111 years ago.
2. 130 pairs of trains pass here per day.
3. To establish regular traffic, the state had to spend over 70 billion rubles.
4. Thanks to the work of the MCC, the Koltsevaya metro line is unloaded by 15%.
5. In the first year, the work of "Lastochki" transported 75 million people.
6. The MCC has provided citizens with 40,000 jobs.
7. Most of the stations have car parks.
8. According to the plan, the trains will be able to carry more than 300 million people per year.

Thanks to the ring, it poured down significantly to relieve urban transport.

So, the MCC is a good alternative to cars. This is the absence of traffic jams, an affordable cost of the trip and the ability to be punctual. Metro map with MCC will show you how and at which station you can transfer to a train of the desired direction, and the presence of parking lots and a convenient transition to the station will save both time and effort.

Reconstruction of the Moscow Central Ring (MCC) - unique project not only for Moscow, but for Russia as a whole. The MCC has become a full-fledged light metro, integrated into the metro system.

The MCC scheme is inscribed on the Moscow metro map. It shows the approximate time for ground transfers from the MCC.

In addition, the diagram shows possible transfers from the MCC to surface urban transport, traffic intervals, etc.

The movement on the ring was launched on September 10, 2016. This gave a new impetus to the development of abandoned industrial areas of the capital, and also made it possible to cut the Gordian knot of transport problems hanging over the capital.

The Moscow Central Circle is the road to the future. Thanks to the ring, the trip around the capital takes an average of 20 minutes. Another unique feature of the MCC was that it connected the garden and park ensembles of the capital: the Mikhalkovo estate, the Botanical Garden, the territory of VDNKh and National park Losiny Ostrov, Vorobyovy Gory nature reserve and others.

MCC is a new life for industrial zones in Moscow

Since 1908, the Moscow Central Circle served industrial zones and mainly performed the function of transporting goods. However, over time, many industrial areas around this ring fell into disrepair, some industries were closed. A number of industrial zones were used as warehouses at best. Now these territories are being actively reorganized, housing with social facilities, sports complexes, etc. are being built here. And the developing territories require convenient transport links.

The launch of passenger traffic on the MCC solves the issue of transport support for industrial zones. In addition, the ring connected suburban rail and electric trains that go to the city center with the MCC stations. Passengers can, before reaching the city center, change to MCC trains and move on practically throughout Moscow.

All stations of the MCC were built in the form of transport interchange hubs (TPU). They will include offices, shopping malls, shops and cafes. This concept meets both the interests of investors, for whom it is important to recoup investments in construction, and the needs of citizens.

Vasily Povolnov (mostly his photos are used in the post), finally, he visited this and other stations, which in theory Zelenograd residents can use to transfer to the MCC, to see how everything works there, and tell our readers about it.

The MCC station "Likhobory" (until this summer it was known as "Nikolaevskaya") is in the line of sight from the NATI platform.

If you come by train from Zelenograd, you need to get off the platform to right side in the direction of travel and follow the track along the railway towards the Leningradsky railway station.

The exit from the platform is located at the level of the third or fourth carriages. If you want to save time for a transplant, sit in them. There is also a signpost towards the MCC. To the left of it you can see the buildings of the Likhobor station.

The distance from the exit from the NATI platform to the entrance to the overground passage of the Likhobory station is just over 200 meters. However, keep in mind that the entrance to the passage is not the entrance to the station itself.

After 120 meters, the path along the OZhD (in the photo is a view in the opposite direction - to the NATI platform) turns to the right.

Around the corner of the fence, a view of the Likhobory station opens again. The overhead passage is already a stone's throw away.

But this is the most unpleasant part of the shortcut. In the vicinity of NATI and Likhobor, the North-East Expressway (also known as the North Road) is being built, which by the end of 2018 should tie New Leningradka with Dmitrovskoe highway. Because of this, further on the asphalt is covered with a layer of mud, which is transported around the neighborhood by construction equipment. Apparently, in the future, for passengers of electric trains, they will build here underground pass... But for now, like that. Such a cool infrastructure project as the MCC is, of course, not suitable.

Improvement work continues around the Likhobory station itself. However, the area in front of the entrance to the passage is already paved with "ceremonial" tiles.

Now we have to climb to the height of a three-story building with high ceilings. There is an elevator in the passage, but so far it, like the metal detector frame at the entrance, does not work (all data in the material are given as of September 20). Therefore, you have to go on foot. At the same time, there are no channels (runners for strollers) on the stairs. Whoever manages to be here, for example, with a baby carriage, you can only sympathize with.

The top floor offers a view of the NATI platform and the construction site of the North-East Expressway.

And in the other direction - to the platforms of the Likhobory station.

To get to the platform, you need to hit the road along the crossing over the railway. Only not to the end, but approximately to the middle.
Note that the crossing (at least for now) is not an insulated structure. In design, it looks like an overhead passage across Central Avenue near the Zelenograd prefecture, and there are ventilation holes in the floor on the sides of the railings. You won't be able to get warm here in winter. Compared to the transfer from the train to the metro at the Leningradsky railway station, this is, of course, a serious disadvantage.

After about 90 meters, there will be glass doors on the right in the passage leading to the station lobby.

Opposite you can admire the bridge at the intersection of the MCC with the Oktyabrskaya railway.

Navigation is much better here than at the Butyrskaya metro station, recently opened at the Ostankino platform (for transfers from the railway to the new stations of the Lyublino-Dmitrovskaya metro line, see separate post ). In any case, the way back to the NATI platform can be found without difficulty. Here is a sign that will meet you when you exit the glass doors. Then along the way there will be a few more plates.

In the lobby, behind glass doors, there are still turnstiles that are not working (I remind you that in the first month travel through the MCC is free) and descents to two platforms (there are elevators, stairs, and escalators). Here you need to decide which platform you want to get to. If you are going west (along the outer side of the ring) - towards Koptevo, Baltiyskaya, Streshnevo, and so on - you are on the right. If to the east (along the inner side) - to Okruzhnaya, Vladykino, Botanical Garden and further - to the left.

To help you, the MCC scheme (clickable)

The most obvious option for descending to the platform is an escalator. Unlike the elevators, they are running. Each platform is connected to the lobby by two escalators: one going up, the other down.

Estimating the travel time on foot is not an easy task, but according to our estimates, it takes 6-8 minutes to get from the train door on the NATI platform to the platform at the Likhobory station. In the opposite direction, the road will take a little more time, since it will still be necessary to cross the bridge to the distant platform on NATI.

While we are waiting for our "Swallow" to go on a trip around the MCC, we recall that in the future, a large transport hub - with shops, parking lots and even a hockey rink. And, of course, public transport stops. The bulk of the TPU buildings will be located on the side of the Cherepanovs passage (that is, on the opposite side from the NATI platform). It is supposed to look like this (clickable image).

And this is how this place looks now.

Road works are underway on the Cherepanovs Driveway.

They are going to build the TPU by 2025 approximately. As part of this project, it is planned to reconstruct and extend towards the center of Moscow and the NATI platform. This means that the electric trains of the Leningrad direction will stop even closer to the MCC, and the transfer from NATI to Likhobory will become even shorter and more convenient.
And now let's return to the Likhobory station. Both platforms have awnings and a decent amount of benches and urns. The surface is tiled with a strip of yellow tactile tiles along the edge of the platform.

In general, everything is stylish, neat and, if we talk about platforms, and not about transitions, then, in my opinion, a little retro.

All design is designed in the corporate style of Russian Railways, which operates this road in conjunction with the Moscow Metro (I remind you that you can pay for travel with metro tickets, while the transfer between the metro and the MCC will be free for an hour and a half).

Electronic displays show the direction of movement (by the name of the next station) and the time until the arrival of the train. Let us remind you that the declared intervals of train traffic on the MCC are 6 minutes during peak hours and 11-15 minutes during off-peak times. These intervals are promised to be shortened if necessary. And it seems that they are already thinking about the implementation of such a possibility.

The platform from which you can leave Likhobor in the direction of Koptevo, that is, to the west, has paths on both sides. But trains arrive on the left side (in the direction of travel from the escalator). "External tracks" are needed, apparently, for service purposes and freight traffic, which will remain on the ring. Back view, towards the passage leading to NATI.

And here is our train. About 15 minutes have passed since the previous one left. True, three electric trains followed in the opposite direction during this time.

The Swallows are used as rolling stock on the Moscow Central Circle. I did a great post about how are these trains ... Inside the “Lastochka” on the MCC, nothing, except for pasted schemes and advertisements, does not differ from those that run to Kryukovo and Tver and are already well known to many residents of Zelenograd.
Scheme of the MCC in a carriage:

Scheme of the MCC and metro:

Bicycles are allowed on the MCC, and there are appropriate stickers on the trains, but we did not find any special mounts for two-wheeled vehicles in the local Lastochki. As well as the intention to twist the "extra", third seats, so that all cars have a 2 + 2 layout, has not yet been fulfilled.

Trains do not seem to run empty at the MCC. We were on the loop from about 17:00 to 18:30, that is, practically in the evening rush hour, and in all the Lastochki we saw, some of the passengers rode standing.

The closest stop to "Likhobory", if you go to the west, is "Koptevo". However, it turned out to be one of five stations that did not manage to open even in draft form before the start of traffic on the MCC. Therefore, for now, the next stop after Likhobor is Baltic. Until this summer, it was called "Voykovskaya" - after the nearby metro station.
The transfer between Baltiyskaya and Voikovskaya is considered one of the longest on the MCC. The lobbies of the two stations are located more than 700 meters from each other. In order for a metro passenger to change here to the Moscow Central Circle, he should leave the subway through exit 1 (from the last carriage when moving towards the center, then from the glass doors to the right) and go along the Leningradskoye Highway towards the region - to the Metropolis shopping center ...

"Baltiyskaya" is located at the intersection of the MCC with the Leningradskoye Highway. The station has two exits: one in the direction of Admiral Makarov Street, the other in the direction of Novopetrovsky Proezd, Metropolis and Voykovskaya metro station.

Moreover, that branch of the passage, which leads from the MCC station to the direction of Voikovskaya, is docked with the Metropolis building. And although signs are sent to the street to the metro, in fact, a significant part of the path can be done in the warmth, going through the entire building of the shopping center. Then, along the street to the entrance to the subway, there will be only about 200 meters to overcome. Of course, this advice is also relevant for those who go from the metro to the MCC.

There is only one platform at Baltiyskaya and, accordingly, it is wider.

Escalators and stairs for descent / ascent between the platform and the walkway are in one place. There are also elevators, but, like in Likhobory, they are not working yet.

If you, having a baby carriage with you, decide to leave the Baltiyskaya in the opposite direction to Metropolis, you will face the same problem as at the transfer at NATI - there is no alternative to descend the stairs without channel bars.

View from the MCC platform to the side facade of the Metropolis.

If the Metrostroy website contains up-to-date sketches of TPU projects on the Moscow Central Circle, then the final form of the Baltiyskaya station will look like this. Another transition will appear in both directions from the other end of the platform.

The next station behind Baltiyskaya is Streshnevo. Previously, it was called "Volokolamskaya" because it is located at the intersection of the MCC with the Volokolamskoye highway. Theoretically, someone from Zelenograd could come here by car, and then set off on a further journey along the MCC. However, this option is unlikely to become widespread. Not only is it suitable for few by itself, it is also unclear where to leave the car in this case - there is no semblance of an intercepting parking lot here.

Moreover, the passage to "Streshnevo" has not yet been completed, which could lead to 1st Krasnogorsky passage - potentially the most convenient for approaching this station from Zelenograd.

As part of the creation of a transport and interchange hub here, the station of the MCC "Streshnevo" will be connected by a passage to the platform of the Riga direction Pokrovskoe-Streshnevo, which for this will be moved several hundred meters. However, this has nothing to do with trips to / from Zelenograd (only if it’s about trips to my dacha :)).

Scheme of TPU "Streshnevo" (clickable image from the Metrostroy website)

In the meantime, the station "Streshnevo" looks almost like a twin of "Likhobor": the same two platforms on the sides of the main passage ...

And a typical (but at the same time, in my opinion, stylish) lobby building with escalators, adjacent to the passage.

There are also combined “ring” metro and MCC schemes everywhere. For some reason, there were no such schemes on "Likhobory".

As in all other locations, active construction and finishing work continues at Streshnevo station.

Unfortunately, I have not yet had time to drive around the entire ring, although it would be very interesting to do so. Well, I hope I still have time. However, from the point of view of Zelenograd residents, the most interesting, of course, are the stations visited.

At the end of the story, I will summarize a few key points.
1. The MCC has gone - and it's great. In fact, a new type of public transport has appeared in Moscow, which has significantly increased the connectivity of existing lines and routes. It is already obvious that, contrary to the gloomy forecasts of skeptics, the ring is in demand by the townspeople.
2. Many residents of Zelenograd have new options for building routes when traveling to Moscow. But a lot here depends on the number of trains stopping at NATI. For example, on September 20, it was impossible to leave Kryukovo for NATI from 8:56 to 16:05 - more than 7 hours! But in the coming days the situation should change: the number of trains stopping at NATI doubled .
3. The road was opened with a large number of minor imperfections - work is still underway almost everywhere. For most passengers, this is not scary, but for people with limited mobility, the MCC is practically not suitable for the time being. If, for some reason, you have difficulties with movement, you should think very carefully about how you will storm the numerous stairs, even devoid of wheelchair rails.
