DON'T CONFUSE PLATFORMS

I go to the Dynamo metro station from Skhodnenskaya, so the opened section of the large ring line and the Petrovsky Park station halved the time of my underground journey. Now you don’t need to go to the center and then back, 20 minutes instead of 40. However, on the first couple of trips, when moving from Polezhaevskaya to Khoroshevskaya and back, I had to, I admit, wander around. As it turned out, I wasn’t the only one who had problems with navigation here. Let's try to figure them out.

First of all, the “Polezhaevskaya” - “Khoroshevskaya” junction has two features that can greatly confuse those who come here for the first time. The first feature: at Polezhaevskaya there are two platforms, if you are going to the center, get off on one, if you are going back, then on the second. And when you enter the station, you need to understand which platform to go down to: this determines which direction you will go. Behind the turnstiles of Polezhaevskaya there are traditionally signs about this. But when moving from Khoroshevskaya there are none. At least if you go in the lobby that is closer to the area.

When, on the day the line opened, I was rushing along the passage straight on my wings, this circumstance forced me to stand rooted to the spot. Below, on the platforms, there is a list of stations; after navigating through them, I continued on my way. But you won’t see those lists right away, and they are far away; people with poor eyesight are unlikely to see them.

The second feature is that you can go from Polezhaevskaya to Khoroshevskaya and back in both lobbies. Either from the first car or from the last one, get out and move onto the nearest escalator. Cool, yeah? But...

Here is a girl standing at the escalator and asking everyone if there is a passage here. She arrived in the first carriage from the region. I came out and there was not a single sign. Those she asked just shrugged their shoulders, well, before people had time to figure it out... The girl is already about to go to the other end of the station, I stop her and reveal the secret.

This drawback will probably be eliminated soon. But for now, on the platform where trains heading to the center stop, there is only one crossing sign. It is located above the stairs of the lobby closer to the area: passengers of the last carriage have a chance to find their way right away, while the rest, like this girl, will have to tell their fortunes.

STAY IN A COLUMN OF TWO

On the neighboring platform - the one where trains from the center dock, there are crossing signs. However, for some reason the arrows point only in one direction - to the lobby closer to the center. Let’s imagine: you and I are traveling from the center in the first carriage. We get off at Polezhaevskaya: we look at the sign and, obeying the arrow, we weave through the entire station to switch to a new line. Let's imagine what we need to get into the first car: we again walk through the entire station, wipe off our sweat and move on. And this despite the fact that in fact we had to get on the nearest escalator, go up, and then go down. That's all.

At Khoroshevskaya, as it turned out, it’s the same story. No matter what carriage you and I are traveling in, during the transition we are offered to move only in one direction: towards the vestibule, which is closer to the region. On the very first day I fell for this bait: I arrived at Khoroshevskaya in the last carriage and, obeying the signs, walked both stations along the entire length.

Why was it done this way? I realized this when I realized that the arrows suggest movement in a circle: if we move from Khoroshevskaya to Polezhaevskaya, we must go to the lobby that is closer to the area, and to the opposite one if we are moving in the opposite direction. It turns out that the developers of this clever navigation system just wanted us to move in the same direction and not bump heads. Well, pensioners who, unknowingly, will have to bypass these stations will be especially grateful.

In Moscow, the first section of the Big Circle Line of the metro, a new line that was previously called the Third Interchange Circuit, has opened its doors. Five new stations have been opened - Petrovsky Park, CSKA, Khoroshevskaya, Shelepikha and Delovoy Tsentr. The Nizhnyaya Maslovka station is being completed and will also be put into operation this year. The authorities promise to complete all other sections of the new ring line within four to five years. Around the same time, the first lines of the Moscow Central Diameters system will be launched.

The new stations became part of the first section of the new Big Circle Line (BCL). At the design stage, this line was called the Third Interchange Circuit; the name was changed during the voting in the “Active Citizen”. In 2018 The mayor's office promises to open the Nizhnyaya Maslovka station; it is now in the final stages of construction. For 2019 As part of the BCL, it is planned to open the Aviamotornaya-Lefortovo-Rubtsovskaya section (located in the east). In 2020 The ring should be launched in its entirety, a total of 31 new stations will be available to passengers, reports the Moscow construction portal. It is curious that Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said at the opening of the BCL that the entire ring line would be built “within four to five years,” that is, in 2022–2023.

The launch of the new line, judging by social networks, raised many questions among residents. The fact is that on the new section of the BCL, trains run along two routes - “Petrovsky Park” - “Business Center” and “Petrovsky Park” - “Ramenki” (in the latter case, the BCL is, as it were, part of the yellow, Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya line) .

Passengers, in turn, must pay attention to where the train is going according to the display on the head car. The metro has already promised to install monitors with information at stations, but so far there are none.

In addition, the Delovoy Tsentr station as part of the Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya line is temporarily closed, but its “backup” station as part of the BKL is open. This means, for example, that previously it was possible to travel in a straight line from Victory Park to the Business Center, but now you need to change trains at Shelepikha. “Such a scheme will confuse not just visitors, but many locals,” writes user Sergio Gaudi on the Moscow Transport page in

At 23:17 the last train with passengers departed from the station. "Kashirskaya" at the station. "Varshavskaya". Passenger traffic on the Kashirskaya - Varshavskaya section has been stopped until the Big Circle Line is introduced into the section. The Kakhovskaya line ceased to exist. The Varshavskaya station has been temporarily withdrawn from passenger service. The total number of operating Moscow metro stations has been reduced to 229.

Do you know that...

One of the most important factors influencing the routing of the first metro launch section is the possibility of constructing an electric depot next to the line, which in turn must have a rail connection with the railway network for transporting cars from the manufacturer. However, history knows many exceptions to this rule: due to the unavailability of the overpass connecting the newly built electric depot of the Kazan metro with the railway line, cars to the depot were transported along the streets of Kazan on metal pallets. And in Kyiv, where the first open section to the station. “Dnepr” was separated from the future “Darnitsa” depot by an unbuilt metro bridge, a truly unique system was created: one of the tracks of the “Dnepr” overpass station was an elevator that lowered the metro car to the embankment, where until recently there was a tram line that was quite suitable for transportation carriages. And for maintenance and minor repairs, a temporary hangar was built next to the “metrolift.”

Khoroshevskaya

February 26, 2018, at 12:14 p.m., first train with passengers
arrived at the station "Khoroshevskaya".
The 210th station of the Moscow metro has opened!

Sketch art. "Khoroshevskaya"
according to the current project.
Metrogiprotrans.

Khoroshevskaya station (PK 121+63.80), next to the station. “Shelepikha” is a station under construction for the launch section of the Third Interchange Circuit, located in the west of Moscow, on the southern side of Khoroshevskoye Highway, parallel to the station. "Polezhaevskaya" Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line, with which it forms an interchange hub. The project name of the station was approved by the Moscow Government Decree No. 564-PP dated June 24, 2008 and was given along the highway of the same name, which in turn received its name from the former Moscow region village of Khoroshevo, located on the banks of the Moscow River - the country estate of Tsar Boris Godunov. Also, at one time, “Khoroshevskaya” was the project name of the station. "Polezhaevskaya".

The station is columnar, shallow, with two rows of columns, with a column spacing of 9 m, a middle span width of 7.8 m, a platform width of 12 m. The station has two underground vestibules designed: the eastern one, with access to the 4th Magistralnaya st., and western, with access to the intersection of Khoroshevskoe highway and st. Kuusinena. Also through the western lobby there is a transfer to the station. "Polezhaevskaya". On the western side, two pairs of exit chambers are adjacent to Khoroshevskaya: the first pair is intended for double-track dead ends behind the station, and the second is for the future branching of the line into two directions: to the station. "People's Militia Street" and to the station. "Shelepikha" The general designer is OJSC Metrogiprotrans.

The construction of the station is being carried out by SMU Ingeocom LLC. In December 2013, the excavation of the left (northern) distillation tunnel from the station was completed in a separate dismantling chamber on the eastern side of the station. “Khodynskoye Field” - the first of the tunnels connected to the station. "Khoroshevskaya", and the first of the completed tunnels of the Third Interchange Circuit. On May 12, 2014, excavation of the left (western) distillation tunnel began from the pit of the ramp chamber to the west of the station towards the station. “Shelepikha” with the help of Robbins TBM Sofia. Commissioning of the site is scheduled for 2016.

On the eve of the New Year 1973, one of the two unusual Moscow metro stations, Polezhaevskaya, opened in Moscow. It had 3 tracks, but unlike Partizanskaya (formerly Izmailovsky Park), it was an unusual project to create fork traffic. Some trains on the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line were supposed to run under Marshal Zhukov Avenue. To the delight of Muscovites, the Soviet project was not implemented. Instead, a second station appeared next to Polezhaevskaya.

Khoroshevskaya is a typical modern station, which in the future will take over most of Khoroshyovo-Mnevniki, but for now let's talk about it as part of the current metro system.

1. Khoroshevskaya station was built parallel to Polezhaevskaya station. Slightly shifted relative to it, but the exits are located in the same place. Western on the corner of Khoroshevskoye Highway and Kuusinen Street, eastern at the corner of Khoroshevskoye Highway and 4th Magistralnaya Street.

2. Since the main task was to create a new transfer hub, it was necessary to design the transfer in difficult conditions. The neighboring Polezhaevskaya has three tracks and narrow platforms. For many years, only one platform was used there, but when one of the lobbies was closed, for safety reasons it was necessary to open a second platform and separate passenger flows on the platforms.

3. There were several ideas for connecting stations. They did not dare to do this through the passages in the center of the hall, as transfers are usually done. But there were proposals. An interesting idea was to convert the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line tunnel into the center for the arrival of a train on another track. So it would be possible to eliminate the middle path and make a transition in its place. They didn't decide either.

4. In the end, we settled on transferring through the vestibules, creating two passages at both ends of the station. It turned out not very convenient, but quite understandable and quite economical. The idea cannot be called ideal, but it has its place.

5. Let's take a little break since we're in the lobby. Crowd of metro fans and ticket collectors on the first day.

6. An interesting solution was chosen for transition navigation. I have already met dissatisfied people on transport forums, but there is something in this. If you carefully read my text, you realized that there are transitions in both lobbies. At the same time, on the signs for the new station the transition is written only in one direction. What is the reason? Let’s return to Polezhaevskaya again (at this rate I need to do the next report about her!) and her narrow platforms. Since no one has expanded the exits, the narrow list on the platform must accommodate 4 passenger flows: those entering from the street, leaving the street, moving to the new station and moving from the new station. A solution with signs in only one direction will send transfer passengers to different corridors and, accordingly, lighten the load a little.

7. So don’t look at the four escalators exiting Khoroshyovka. The bottleneck is not on her.

8. It’s time to move on to the design and architectural appearance of the new station. Khoroshevskaya greets us with abstract figures on the ceiling above the escalators. I would understand this as part of the actual design, but on the platform I see...

9. ...sister of Petrovsky Park, CSKA and Shelepikha. Column three-span station at a depth of 21 meters with an island platform and absolutely no abstract figures. Column three-span black and white with a stone matching the color of the transfer line - purple.

10. Despite the mentioned purple color of the marble, the situation here is similar to Petrovsky Park. There is also green, but it seems different. Here the color, in my opinion, is red-brown with a very large addition of black. Perhaps my lens considered the color this way, but the eye sees about the same thing.

11. Black and white with red and brown and steel escalator structures look very nice together. The angle of the exit looks even better than the station itself.

12. But she herself lacks something. At Petrovsky Park there is a passage in the center, at CSKA there are statues, at Shelepikha bright yellow shades distract the eye. And here? But I will say that it is still pleasing to the eye. It's a very nice stone.

13. Khoroshevskaya’s prospects are very interesting. Today it is a station on the Big Circle and Solntsevskaya lines. Solntsevskaya will separate in the future. And Khoroshevskaya will for some time become a fork for traffic to the Business Center and towards Narodnogo Opolcheniya Street. Groundwork has already been left for this. The construction sites for this extension of the Big Circle are already under construction, and houses are being demolished for the construction of the metro.

14. It will be possible to travel from here to Ramenki and further to Rasskazova until the completion of the construction of the new ring road to the west. It would be possible to go further, but common sense is already waking up here. If fork traffic with 2 directions is normal for Moscow, then with three directions it will create many problems. The Metro will be ready to issue a train schedule for three directions, but everyone will lose from this. The business center will receive even fewer trains - perhaps. People's Militia Street and Mnevniki will receive few trains - perhaps. And Ramenki, Ochakovo, Solntsevo, Novoperedelkino and Rasskazovka will create an apocalypse in their area. An interval of 6 minutes or more at peak times is uncomfortable.

15. Now the trains here are half empty, but by the end of the year they will be very well filled.

16. For me personally, this station has also become very convenient. I will use it in the future.

17. By the way, a life hack for those transferring to the MCC. The Polezhaevskaya-Khoroshevo transfer is not the most convenient. Officially 8 minutes, in reality 2 stops on a trolleybus, which only in the case of immediate arrival of ground transport is reduced to 4-5 minutes. Even longer in winter and rain. You can get to the Shelepikha station, comfortably and very quickly transfer to the MCC and get to the Khoroshevo MCC. In time you will not win, but you will not lose either, but it will be comfortable.

18. My verdict on the station is good! What about yours?

Do you like the station or not?

Thank you for your attention! Stay in touch!
