What stations are MCC. Why the Moscow Central Circle will never pay off

The Moscow Central Circle (MCC) will open to passengers in early September. Approximately September 10th. This was stated by the head of the Moscow Metro, Dmitry Pegov.

The MCC line received number 14 in the Moscow Metro. The ring consists of 31 stations, 17 of them are connected to the metro, 10 to radial railway lines. Transfers between metro stations and the MCC will take no more than 10-12 minutes. The shortest and most comfortable transfers will be in “warm” (not requiring going outside) crossings from the stations: Mezhdunarodnaya, Leninsky Prospekt, Cherkizovskaya, Vladykino, Kutuzovskaya.

The main advantage of the Moscow Central Circle is that it should relieve the “Koltsevaya” line by 15%, the “Sokolnicheskaya” line by 20%, and all stations.

ABOUT OPERATING MODE

Since the Moscow Central Circle is metro line 14, the operating hours will be identical - daily from 5.30 to 1.00.

ABOUT THE COST OF TRAVEL

A single ticket for 20 trips will cost 650 rubles, for 40 trips - 1,300 rubles, 60 trips - 1,570 rubles. At the same time, travel for Troika card users on the MCC will cost the same as on the metro - 32 rubles. It is worth emphasizing that the possibility of transferring from the metro to the MCC and back will be free of charge.

Transfers within 90 minutes from the moment you first enter the station are free. Reprogramming of turnstiles, cash registers, and ticket vending machines has now begun,” said Dmitry Pegov.

You can use the second free metro transfer from MCC platforms only with tickets purchased after September 1. Passengers who purchased tickets before this date will be able to exchange them for new ones, with the benefit of a free transfer. Otherwise, the additional trip will be charged. And the first 30,000 people who exchange tickets purchased before September 1 will receive gifts from the metro. There will be no need to exchange social cards.

ABOUT PAYMENT METHODS

Tickets can be purchased in the same way as for trips on the metro: at ticket offices, vending machines, or top up your Troika card via the Internet. It will also be possible to pay for travel by credit card. For this purpose, all stations are now equipped with machines for reading bank cards.

ABOUT PASSENGER SERVICES

The stations will introduce similar services that exist in the metro. Passengers with limited mobility will be able to benefit from free mobility assistance. The stations will have chargers for gadgets, trees, and benches. And also trash cans, which are not in the Moscow metro itself. “Live Communication” counters will appear at five stations, where tourists will also be able to obtain information in English. In particular, it is already being installed at the Luzhniki station.

ABOUT COMPOSITIONS

33 trains will be launched on the ring, which will have handrails for standing passengers. And just like on regular trains, there will be toilets. The interval between trains will be only 6 minutes.

THE YANDEX METRO APPLICATION WILL BE UPDATED

By the time the Moscow Central Circle launches, the map will be updated in the Yandex Metro application, which is used by many Muscovites.

We have already taken measurements so that people can plan their time on the trip. People will also be informed about temporary closures of stations, said Alexander Shulgin, CEO of Yandex in Russia.

WHAT ARE THEY DOING NOW?

Navigation is hosted;

The trains practice movement intervals;

Information boards are installed on the platforms;

They are creating comfortable ground transport routes connecting with stations of the new subway line.

INTERESTING TO KNOW

75 million passengers will be able to use the transportation in the first year, and by 2025 the number will increase to 350 million passengers annually;

The metro staff will increase by 800 people.

Online workload application

To implement this project, it is necessary to prepare the infrastructure to show this. But we have this in our plans. This will be a similar project to Yandex.Traffic. The Moscow Metro is working on the issue of providing Yandex with data on congestion. As soon as we are able to receive them, we will send them to Yandex, and they will be displayed in the application online,” said Dmitry Pegov, head of the metro.

The opening of the Moscow Central Circle (MCC) took place on September 10, 2016. 31 stations are available for passengers. A RIAMO correspondent learned how to use a new type of urban transport.

On the launch day, 26 stations were put into operation: Okruzhnaya, Likhobory, Baltiyskaya, Streshnevo, Shelepikha, Khoroshevo, Delovoy Tsentr, Kutuzovskaya, Luzhniki, Gagarin Square ", "Crimean", "Upper Boilers", "Vladykino", "Botanical Garden", "Rostokino", "Belokamennaya", "Rokossovsky Boulevard", "Lokomotiv", "Entuziastov Highway", "Nizhegorodskaya", "Novokhokhlovskaya", “Ugreshskaya”, “Avtozavodskaya”, “ZIL”, as well as “Izmailovo” and “Andronovka”.

In 2018, the construction of warm crossings will be completed: it will be possible to make transfers without going outside. A total of 350 transfers will be available for passengers, so travel time should be reduced by 3 times.

Fare

To access the MCC station, you can use any Moscow metro pass (Troika, Ediny, 90 Minutes), as well as social cards. Within 90 minutes from the moment the ticket is validated, transition from the metro to the MCC and back is free. Payment for travel by bank cards is also provided.

MCC schemes

Three variants of MCC schemes have been developed for passengers. The first, in addition to the metro lines and MCC stations, indicates the stages of opening stations and transitions, the distance between transfer stations and the time it will take to transfer.

The second version of the diagram will help commuters find their way: the map shows railway stations, existing metro lines, as well as MCC stations and “warm” metro transfers.

The third diagram shows the stops of ground urban transport near the MCC stations, as well as the interval of its movement during rush hour. For example, from the Luzhniki platform of the MCC you can go to the Sportivnaya metro station in 2 minutes. Buses number 806, 64, 132 and 255 regularly run there, so getting to the right place will not be difficult.

In addition, the map shows all the main attractions of the city, forest parks and nature reserves. Many of them are within walking distance from the MCC, for example, Losiny Ostrov Park and the Vorobyovy Gory Nature Reserve.

Transplants

The MCC is integrated into the Moscow public transport system with the possibility of transfer to the metro, Moscow Railway trains and ground public transport.

From September 10, you can transfer from the MCC to the metro at 11 stations (“Business Center”, “Kutuzovskaya”, “Luzhniki”, “Lokomotiv”, “Gagarin Square”, “Vladykino”, “Botanical Garden”, “Rokossovsky Boulevard”, “ Voikovskaya”, “Shosse Entuziastov”, “Avtozavodskaya”), by train - on five (“Rostokino”, “Andronovka”, “Okruzhnaya”, “Business Center”, “Likhobory”).

By the end of 2016, the number of transfer hubs will increase to 14 and 6, respectively, and in 2018 there will be 17 transfers from the MCC to the metro and 10 to the train.

To make a free metro-MCC-metro transfer (within an interval of 90 minutes), you need to attach your metro travel document to the turnstile with a special yellow sticker at the entrance to the MCC station.

Passengers who are planning a trip only on the MCC or intend to make one metro transfer - MCC or vice versa, can apply their tickets to any turnstiles, including those without yellow stickers.

If you do not meet the 1.5 hour time limit, you will need to pay for the fare again when making a transfer.

Trains and intervals

New luxury trains “Lastochka”, with a capacity of 1200 people, run on the MCC. Their maximum speed is 160 kilometers per hour; they travel along the MCC at an average speed of 50 kilometers per hour.

The trains are equipped with air conditioning, dry closets, information panels, free Wi-Fi, sockets and bicycle racks.

The carriages open manually: to enter or exit, you need to press a special button installed on the doors. The buttons are active (green backlight) only after the train has stopped on the platform; at other times, for safety reasons, the doors are locked.

During morning and evening rush hours, the traffic interval is only 6 minutes. The rest of the time you need to wait for “Swallow” from 10 to 15 minutes.

Updating (activating) travel cards

In order to access the MCC using “90 minutes”, “United” for 20, 40 and 60 trips, “Troika” tickets purchased or topped up before September 1, 2016, you need to renew them. To do this, you can contact the metro or monorail ticket office, as well as the metro passenger agency (Boyarsky Lane, 6) or the Moscow Transport service center (Staraya Basmannaya St., 20, building 1).

Holders of a Strelka card to travel by train must exchange it at the metro ticket office for a card with the Troika application.

Activation is carried out without changing the balance of trips and the validity period of the ticket, while the new reprogrammed travel documents will allow free transfers from the metro to the MCC and back.

You can also update your Troika electronic card yourself by topping up your balance at ticket machines at stations, on the website troika.mos.ru, via SMS or at payment terminals. As for social cards, their activation is not required.

Help and navigation

You can find out detailed information about updating tickets, transfer hubs and navigation on the MCC from consultants at the entrance to the ring metro stations or at metro stations adjacent to the MCC. Volunteers will also help passengers navigate the new transport. A special mobile application is also being developed, with which you can choose the optimal route.

Here you can see new convenient routes through the MCC.

This coming Sunday, September 10, the Moscow Central Circle (MCC) will celebrate one year since the launch of the first trains. During this time, more than 93 million passengers used the line against the original plan of 75 million. The project has already cost Russian Railways (RZD), the federal and Moscow budgets approximately 140 billion rubles. And within 15 years, costs will reach 200 billion rubles. Investments in the project will never pay off, experts say. Why will this happen and should an infrastructure project of this scale necessarily pay off?

How much does MCC cost?

The return of passenger trains to the Moscow Circular Railway, which was canceled back in the 1930s, was dreamed of by ex-Mayor of Moscow Yuri Luzhkov for many years, but his successor Sergei Sobyanin managed to implement the project. Urban planning documentation and feasibility studies for the construction of a passenger railway and its accompanying infrastructure were ready back in the 2000s, recalls Sergei Tkachenko, former head of the Research and Development Institute for General Planning. And in 2008, the Moscow government and Russian Railways signed an agreement on the reconstruction of the freight railway into a passenger one.

However, the lack of funds delayed the start of work for three years, Tkachenko continues. The issue of financing was resolved only in 2011, after the appointment of a new mayor; for this, Sobyanin had to make such a request to the President of Russia, Moscow and federal officials told Vedomosti at the time.

The government contributed 72 billion rubles from the budget to the authorized capital of JSC Russian Railways. for the arrangement of the railway part of the MCC infrastructure. Moscow spent 20 billion rubles. for the construction of infrastructure of transport hubs and more than 25 billion rubles. for the reconstruction of the road network, overpasses and the liberation of territories around the MCC, says Roman Latypov, first deputy head for strategic development and client work of the Moscow Metro State Unitary Enterprise. This enterprise oversees the work of the MCC on behalf of the Moscow authorities, it provides all the service personnel (except for train drivers) for the ring and provides a unified ticket program with the metro.

The Metro also acts as a customer for passenger transportation services. A 15-year contract with Russian Railways will cost the capital 57.7 billion rubles, says Latypov.

To organize traffic on the MCC, Russian Railways purchased 33 Lastochka electric trains from Ural Locomotives (a joint venture between Siemens and Dmitry Pumpyansky’s Sinary). The Russian Railways representative refused to disclose the amount of investment and its return on investment. Based on the contract, one Lastochka train of five cars cost 8.7 million euros. Consequently, 33 trains could cost Russian Railways 19.2 billion rubles. (at the weighted average exchange rate for 2016 of 67 rubles). From May 1, 2017, the train service interval on the MCC was reduced from 6 to 5 minutes during peak hours and from 12 to 10 minutes at other times. Therefore, Russian Railways had to buy nine more trains with an estimated cost of 5.25 billion rubles.

Russian Railways did not calculate the return on investment in the project, assures a person close to the state-owned company. The contract turned out to be unprofitable, one of the Russian Railways consultants knows. The investment may never pay off, he adds.

The amount that Russian Railways receives under the contract with the Moscow government for servicing the MCC is 3.8 billion rubles. per year – not tied to passenger traffic. The company must provide a certain traffic interval, says Vladimir Savchuk, Deputy General Director of the Institute for Problems of Natural Monopolies (IPEM). The amount of payments includes the tariff for transportation on commuter trains in Moscow, which does not depend on the size of the investment, but is calculated based on the cost of infrastructure and currently amounts to 0.1% of it. According to PwC partner Dmitry Kovalev, in order to recoup the project in at least 10–15 years, the tariff must be at least 1.5 times higher.

Russian Railways received money for the project from the budget, the company does not need to return these investments, the city hall official objects. Direct costs of Russian Railways are the purchase of trains and their operation. Therefore, the profitability of transportation on the MCC is 8%, says a city hall official.

Return on investment does not come first, because this is a large infrastructure project, as follows from Latypov’s words. The main task of the MCC is to provide a transport alternative for citizens, and without subsidies for transportation there is not a single metro in the world, he says. Such transport projects have “a much more important effect - comfort of movement, saving travel time (on the MCC passengers save 9-11 minutes compared to traveling on other types of public transport) and the effect on the development of territories,” Latypov believes. Today, an MCC passenger costs the city 40% less than a metro passenger, a source in the mayor’s office points out, due to the new infrastructure and ground location of the tracks. In addition, currently the MCC is only loaded at half its capacity; over time, its occupancy will increase.

It’s hardly possible to talk about the MCC’s payback in the foreseeable period of time, Tkachenko agrees: “Such projects provide exclusively indirect payback, transforming urban areas from secondary, degrading ones into investment-attractive ones. This is why budget funds exist - to contribute to the capitalization of the city, to increase the tax base.” Such projects cannot be assessed only from the point of view of the return of funds, agrees Savchuk. Like any infrastructure project, the MCC is aimed at developing the city and surrounding areas and increasing business activity. “The project is very large-scale, analogues in the world are not of urban, but of national significance,” explains Savchuk. “The implementation of the project provided orders for industry, designers, and created the opportunity for the implementation of modern and innovative solutions, for example, in the field of transportation automation.”

Who needs a ring

Before the launch of passenger traffic, the entire length of the MCC (54 km) became double-track; a third track for freight and technological traffic was built along 31 km. From each MCC station, passengers can transfer to ground urban transport; for this purpose, access roads, turning areas for buses and stops for passengers are organized on both sides of the railway. From the MCC you can make 14 transfers to metro stations and six to commuter trains. The new ring passes through 26 districts of Moscow with a population of 1.9 million people, says a representative of the Moscow Department of Transport. Residents of six of them (Metrogorodok, Beskudnikovsky, Koptevo, Kotlovka, Khoroshevo-Mnevniki and Nizhegorodsky) - about 500,000 people - previously had virtually no access to the metro, he adds.

Integration with the metro (the MCC and the metro have a single ticket system) has ensured explosive growth in traffic on the MCC, says Savchuk from IPEM. If there are questions about the return on investment in the MCC, then from the point of view of passenger traffic this is not just a successful, but an extremely successful project, the Russian Railways consultant is sure. It was planned that in the first year of operation the MCC would transport 75 million people, in 2020 – 170 million, and in 2030 – 300 million. The plan has already been exceeded. In less than a year, according to the Moscow Department of Transport, about 93 million people used the MCC.

How many new passengers were attracted to Moscow transport due to the MCC? Neither the mayor’s office nor the metro gives an answer to this question. Most likely we are talking about not very large quantities. The MCC absorbed some of the passengers from the metro and trains. Although, obviously, some car owners preferred “Swallows” to their own cars, a source in the mayor’s office believes.

New lines “almost do not add passenger traffic, they only redistribute it,” Tkachenko believes. But this is also good, since in general the level of comfort on the old lines, from where some of the passengers leave, is increasing, he points out.

61% of MCC passengers transferred from the metro, 26% from commuter trains, another 13% are residents of adjacent areas who get to the station on foot or by ground public transport. The final point of travel for approximately 30% of MCC passengers is areas near stations, the rest use Lastochkas instead of the Circle Line of the metro, says a representative of the Moscow Department of Transport.

There are a lot of so-called tourists on the MCC, Latypov notes. He also includes among them passengers who choose a longer journey compared to a shorter one by metro. For example, when a passenger travels from Luzhniki to Lokomotiv, instead of taking the metro from Sportivnaya to Cherkizovskaya. “The MCC offers a new level of service: stations with charging stations for mobile phones and other amenities; there are toilets in two cars of each train; the trip itself became more comfortable due to the silence and fewer people. The MCC is also more convenient for cyclists - they can enter the carriages without unhooking the front wheel, as in the metro,” explains Latypov.

Unloading was successful

Moscow authorities are pleased that the MCC has reduced the load on overloaded metro stations and city train stations. Thanks to the MCC, passengers do not have to go to ring metro stations to make a transfer, notes Latypov. According to him, the new transport route reduced the load on the busiest sections of the Circle Line metro by 15%, Sokolnicheskaya by 20%, Lyublinskaya by 14%, Filevskaya by 12%, Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya by 5%. This is very important for the metro, because it increases the comfort of travel, notes Latypov.

At some previously unpopular metro stations, passenger traffic, on the contrary, has increased, unloading other stations. With the advent of the MCC, passenger traffic at the station. m. "Kutuzovskaya" grew 3.5 times from 8,000 to 29,000 people per day. Previously, according to the Moscow Metro, it was one of the 30 most unpopular metro stations in Moscow, but now it is unloading the Kievskaya station.

The load at Kazansky and Rizhsky stations has decreased by 30%, at Kursky - by 40%, at Yaroslavsky and Leningradsky - by 20%, says a representative of the transport department. Now MCC passengers can transfer to electric trains of the Oktyabrsky, Savelovsky, Yaroslavl, Kazan and Smolensky directions; integration with four more directions out of the remaining five is planned to be carried out before the end of 2018, promises a representative of Russian Railways. It is also planned to move a number of platforms in radial directions closer to the stations of the MCC (Okruzhnaya in the Savelovsk direction, Severyanin in the Yaroslavl direction and Leningradskaya in the Riga direction), as well as to build new stops and stations (Novokhokhlovskaya in the Kursk direction, Varshavskaya in the Pavelets direction, Karacharovo in the Gorky direction).

One of the main advantages of the MCC is that passengers do not have to go to train stations in the center and then transfer to the metro, says Latypov. He estimates there were 25 million such trips per year.

The development of the MCC should convince citizens to give up private cars. A study by the Research and Development Institute of the general plan, conducted in the 2000s, showed that when a metro station appears, the coefficient of use of public transport in the areas adjacent to it increases. In Moscow, only the metro and the Moscow Railways could solve this problem; the periodically proposed alternatives are not capable of this: bicycles, monorails, cable cars, balloons, etc., says Tkachenko. A representative of the Moscow Department of Transport gives the following example: four MCC stations (Botanical Garden, Lokomotiv, Luzhniki, Rokossovsky Boulevard) have parking lots with a total capacity of more than 650 parking spaces. Since the stations opened, more than 48,000 motorists have left their cars at these park-and-ride stations and transferred to the MCC, thus preventing these cars from reaching the city center.

Compared to the Moscow Metro, the MCC's share in traffic is negligible: in 2016, about 2.4 billion people used the metro, the MCC - 25 times less. The comparison is incorrect, because the MCC is just one of the metro lines, points out a representative of the Moscow Department of Transport. And in terms of daily passenger traffic, the MCC has already overtaken some branches.

Tkachenko is confident that over time the load on the MCC will increase. Any highway that has just been put into operation does not fill up immediately, he says, recalling the free Third Transport Ring in the first year of its launch. Latypov cites the example of the London DLR (Docklands Light Railway), a light metro that, among other things, connected the Docklands area with the city center. The DLR currently has 45 stations and the network length is 34 km. In 1987, the first year after its launch, 17 million people used the line. Now more than 101.5 million passengers use it, says Latypov. Docklands was a port area and today it is the business center of London.

Housing prices are also rising. The cost of new buildings within walking distance from MCC stations is growing faster than the market - by 14% per year compared to 8% in other residential complexes, CIAN calculated. But the appearance of the MCC did not significantly affect the construction of offices due to the low activity of developers in this segment, says Margarita Kabalkina from CBRE.

So far, more than a third of the territories around the MCC stations are inefficiently used industrial zones, according to data from the Research and Development Institute of the General Plan. About a quarter of the residential buildings within walking distance from the stations are five-story buildings, half of which are included in the Moscow renovation program. The adjacent territory will be developed through the construction of office and business facilities, residential areas and other points of attraction, Deputy Mayor Marat Khusnullin said earlier. According to him, in the future, abandoned industrial areas around the ring will receive a new round of development, which will lead to the emergence of tens of thousands of new jobs.

About 26 million square meters can be built in areas around the MCC. m of real estate, says a representative of the Moscow construction complex. Including about 10 million sq. m residential and about 16 million sq. m of non-residential buildings. Industrial zones located near the Moscow River are being reorganized the fastest, continues Vedomosti’s interlocutor.

However, you should not expect quick changes. When we are talking about a project that can significantly change the transport infrastructure of the city, you should not expect a quick revival of nearby industrial zones or the emergence of new residential areas, explains Olga Shirokova, director of the consulting and analytics department at Knight Frank. In general, the MCC can become an additional factor for the decision to start construction, but it is not the only or the main one. Obviously, there should be a lot of housing around the MCC - in fact, this is why transport projects are being developed, so that people can live comfortably and get to work and home, Shirokova notes. Accordingly, the building density there may be higher than the Moscow average. The main thing is that new projects in the MCC areas do not lead to the building density exceeding 25,000 sq. m. m per 1 hectare, so that again problems with overloading the transport infrastructure do not arise, she warns.

We built it for you
Extra time

The Moscow Central Circle is part of the transport system of the future capital.
It gives the city an alternative to choosing new routes, reduces the load on the metro and train stations in the city center and makes a trip around Moscow an average 20 minutes Briefly speaking.

About the MCC project

The city train is a new type of public transport that appeared in the capital on September 10, 2016 with the opening of the Moscow Central Circle (MCC).

New generation Lastochka trains run along the railway ring during metro operation. You won’t have to wait more than 6 minutes for an electric train during rush hours, and you can change to the metro for free - the MCC has the same pass as the metro.

Marat Khusnullin, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction:

The launch of traffic on the Moscow Central Circle is a breakthrough project for the capital. The MCC will build a new transport logistics system in the city. There will be a redistribution of transit flows from the center to the middle part of the city, adjacent territories will become more accessible, passenger traffic in the metro will decrease and roads will be partially cleared.
The load on the main metro lines, primarily the Circle Line and central interchange stations, will be reduced by more than 15%.

"Without the sound of wheels"

Fast “Swallows” reach speeds of up to 160 km/h, but at the same time do not cause “noisy inconvenience” to citizens.

All electrified rolling stock is noticeably quieter than diesel locomotives and meets modern environmental requirements.

Protective screens will protect citizens from unnecessary noise
and the creation of the so-called “velvet road” - without the sound of wheels.

This technology involves laying railway tracks using special technology in separate 800-meter sections.

Why will the city train become a popular mode of transport among Muscovites?

A trip along the MCC will be many times more comfortable than in the metro. 110 “swallows” ply along the railway ring, each designed for 1,200 people.

New generation city electric trains are equipped with

Security on the MCC

Rail transport traditionally remains one of the most dangerous in the world. However, emergency situations do not occur with trains, but with inattentive passengers who step onto the rails in prohibited places.
A fence has been installed along the entire perimeter of the MCC, which will prevent unauthorized access to the railway tracks.

The total length of the fence was 108 km

Part of the fence (16 km) are noise barriers that were installed within the boundaries of residential buildings.

Free pass
– does NOT mean uncontrolled

On the Moscow Central Circle, all transport security measures applied in the metro and railway are implemented. For example, profiling will also be carried out here.

Profiling

This method evaluates and predicts human behavior based on the analysis of characteristics of appearance, non-verbal and verbal behavior.
There will also be a traditional search like in the subway. Increased protection for passengers will be provided through a modern turnstile system, detector frames and CCTV, as well as the creation of a separate police unit.

Transport hubs

It will be possible to change from one type of transport to another in a matter of minutes using transport interchange hubs (TPU). They consist of terminals with ticket offices and turnstiles, as well as a system of covered pedestrian galleries - overhead and underground passages that protect passengers from bad weather.

All stations provide a transfer to city public transport

buses, trams, trolleybuses and autolines

Passengers don’t even have to go outside, which is why this type of transfer is called the “principle” dry feet».

Now ground urban transport brings citizens directly to the ring stations

In the future, transport hubs will become multifunctional: they will include offices, shopping malls, shops and cafes. Investors will invest money in the construction of the commercial part; the city, using funds from the Moscow budget, is building only the technological part of the hub, which performs a transport function. This concept meets the interests of investors, for whom it is important to recoup their investments in construction, and the needs of citizens, who will be able to find work or receive necessary services close to home.

In the future, some long-distance trains will be able to disembark passengers before reaching the station. By using the MCC, people will be able to save their time, and train stations in the center of Moscow will become freer.

Parking and rides

There will also be an increase in passengers on the MCC due to some motorists who will choose “traffic-free” movement around the city on rail transport. This will relieve some of the load from overcrowded city highways.

You will be able to park your car in the parking lots at 17 stations Moscow Central Circle. They are ready to accept 2 thousand cars.

These parking lots will operate in the same mode as intercept parking lots at metro stations, of which there are 31 (capacity - 6.6 thousand cars). The largest of them, for 1.48 thousand cars, is located at the Annino metro station.

The Moscow Central Circle will breathe life into abandoned areas around

For 90 years, the district railway was used for the delivery of goods.

During the USSR, the necessary load was provided to it by municipal and industrial enterprises located around. But gradually production fell into decline, and these days these sites are, at best, used for warehouses, and more often they are simply idle.

The MCC is a unique project not only from the point of view of developing transport infrastructure, but also from the point of view of creating new jobs.

After the introduction of new real estate in the area of ​​the MCC stations, about 40 thousand jobs will be created.

Investors have already expressed their readiness to invest in the development of areas around 11 MCC stations. Among them:

"Botanical Garden"

"Vladykino"

"Yaroslavskaya"

"Open Highway"

"Novokhokhlovskaya"

"ZIL"

"Warsaw highway"

"Business center"

"Shelepikha"

"Novopeschanaya"

"Nikolaevskaya"

Attracting private investment will allow Moscow to save budget money and direct it to the development of social and transport infrastructure in other areas of the city.

Former industrial zones will turn into new urban areas

Around the ring, according to calculations by the General Plan Institute, the following can be built:

750 thousand sq. m of commercial real estate.
Of them 300 thousand “squares”- hotels,
250 thousand - trading platforms,
200 thousand - new offices and technology parks.

Moscow has the right to expect that developers will be interested in investing in real estate construction, because after the launch of the MCC, the cost of land around it will increase significantly. The former industrial zones around the MCC fell into disrepair: these territories required an integrated approach. And putting the lands around the railway ring in order became the largest urban improvement project in 2016. Every day, 25.9 thousand people were involved in the improvement of the MCC in the summer of 2016. At the same time, the work was not aimed only at improving the appearance of the stations; the task was also to create convenient pedestrian connections between the MCC and ground urban transport stops.

• 2,800 trees were planted on the MCC.
• Renovated facades 111 56 historical buildings. Near 11 stations view zones are created.

  The historical Kanatchikovo station on the MCC will not open to passengers, but will become an interesting excursion site.

  Two residential buildings, a gatehouse, a centralization booth and a warehouse have also been preserved. The Kanatchikovo station has adorned the Moscow Central Circle, being of value to anyone interested in the history of Moscow railways and urban architecture.

  This decision is due to the low passenger traffic in this area. "Kanatchikovo" is located between the stops "Krymskaya" and "Ploshchad Gagarina" parallel to Kanatchikovsky Proezd. The two-story station building from the early 20th century is a cultural heritage site.

Sergei Witte

History of the creation of the MCC

In 2018, the Moscow Central Circle will celebrate a unique anniversary: ​​Emperor Nicholas II made the decision to build the “Ring Railway” in Moscow in the fall of 1897.

The initiator of the project was a great enthusiast of railway transport, Minister of Finance of the Russian Empire Sergei Witte. The circular railway was of great national importance, so the best Russian engineers and architects were involved in the project.

For 110 years, the MCC’s mission has not changed: saving passengers’ time.

On 50 versts (54 km) was built
14 stations

2
stopping points

30
overpasses

72 bridges
(of which 4 are through
Moscow River)

35 pairs of trains ran along the district per day. Passenger transportation on the MCC did not last long; they were stopped due to unprofitability. For more than a century, the railway ring was used only for the transport of goods and served the industrial areas around it.

The idea of ​​restoring passenger traffic never left Moscow city planners, but work began only in 2012.
It was necessary to completely update the infrastructure: electrify the road, relay the rails and, most importantly, reconstruct eight overpasses at the intersection with highways in order to raise them to a height that would allow new trains to pass through.

The first passengers traveled along the district on September 10, 2016. On the eve of this event, the road was given a new name - the Moscow Central Circle (MCC).

about construction in Moscow

Turn your phone

It is a railway ring laid along the outskirts of Moscow. In the diagram, the small ring of the Moscow Circle railway looks like a closed line. Construction of the ring was completed in 1908. Before 1934, the railway was used for freight and passenger transportation, and after 1934 - only for freight. It is a connecting link between ten federal railways departing from the city in all directions. Since September 2016, it has also been used for intracity passenger transportation related to the functioning of the Moscow Metro, which was reflected in the layout of the Moscow Ring Railway stations.

Modern reconstruction of the Moscow Ring Railway

From 2012 to 2016, the Moscow Ring Railway was adapted for domestic passenger transportation, which led to a significant change in the layout of the Moscow Ring Railway. The work was carried out with federal funds, as well as with funds from JSC Russian Railways, private companies and the Moscow government. During the reconstruction process, railway tracks were replaced with new ones, bridges were overhauled, electric train stopping points were built, and another track was laid for freight transportation. At the end of 2016, the work was almost completed.

A total of 31 stopping stations were reconstructed (the diagram of the Moscow Ring Railway with stations under construction is presented above). Each station had its own individual project and platforms were built.

Launch of the first electric trains

The first launch of an electric train in order to check the readiness of the railway was carried out in May 2016 on one of the sections of the Moscow Ring Railway, and in July 2016, after completion of construction, along the entire length of the railway. The main electric train running along the route was the ES2G Lastochka. Conventional Russian-made electric trains were also used. With their use, some problems arose related to the discrepancy between the width of cars and electric locomotives of classical models with the distance between the tracks and the platform on the Moscow Circle. As a result, the platform at Streshneva station even had to be shifted a little to the side.

The first passenger electric train passed along the line on September 10, 2016, after which passenger trains began to operate regularly. The movement of freight trains was reduced, especially during the daytime, when electric trains are actively running. The line is also used for the movement of individual long-distance trains that bypass Moscow. The movement of steam-powered excursion trains was stopped.

Infrastructure and layout of the Moscow Ring Railway

The railway ring of the Moscow Circle includes 2 main railway lines classified as electrified. There is another third railway track running along the north of the ring, which is used for freight transport. The total length of the railway ring is 54 km. Some sections of other tracks are still not electrified.

The Moscow Ring Railway scheme is designed in such a way that it has connecting branches that allow trains to be moved between the ring railway and the radial branches of the federal railway routes. They consist of either one or two tracks (see the MKR transfer diagram). Not all of them are equipped with feeding power lines. There are branches from the freight tracks of the railway ring to industrial production facilities. There is also one branch for communication with the tram depot.

In total, the MKR scheme has 31 operating platforms for domestic passenger transportation and 12 stations for freight purposes. There is 1 tunnel 900 m long.

Stations and platforms on the Moscow Ring Road map

The stations were founded in 1908 and were originally used to handle freight traffic. Between them there were separate stops.

In the inner part of the railway ring there are now unused classic stations with station-type buildings built at the beginning of the 20th century. Previously, the railway track running along them was used for passenger transport. Modern stations can be seen on the map of the Moscow Ring Railway with stations under construction.

On the outside of the Moscow Ring Railway, entrances for parking freight trains and buildings intended for railway work were built. All this is used to form freight trains.

In 2017, the total number of stations in use (see the diagram of MKR stations) was 12 units. Of these, 4 are located on sections of branches from the Moscow Ring Road. These include: Novoproletarskaya, Northern Post.

There are 31 stopping points for city electric trains on the railway ring. These stations are passenger platforms that were built between 2012 and 2016 during the modern reconstruction of the Moscow Ring Railway. Unlike stops belonging to the radial main lines of the railway, these have the status of intracity and are equipped accordingly. They operate as public transport stops with single tickets for them.

Bridges on the Moscow Ring Road

There are a total of 6 operating bridges, 4 of which cross the Moscow Circle. The Moscow Ring Railway also crosses 32 highways and railways.

Traffic along the Moscow Ring Road

At the moment, traffic on the Moscow Ring Railway is carried out by electric trains ES2G “Lastochka”. It consists of 5 modern passenger cars, and in the coupled version - of 10 cars. In the future, the use of other locomotives (domestic production) is not excluded.

Diesel locomotives are still mainly used for freight transportation. However, the main railway lines are now electrified and allow the use of electric locomotives for transit movement. Thanks to this, it is possible to move passenger and freight trains from one transit radial railway line to another.
