Stations

Depot and vehicles

The line has two depots , namely Kalushskoje , which has existed since 1962, and Swiblowo depot since 1978 . Both depots only run trains of the type 81-717 / 714 with eight wagons each. The increase to eight-car trains took place in 1987, the conversion of the vehicle fleet from the old "E" series to 81-717 / 714 was completed in 1995.

history

Origin of the line

Swiblowo station

The beginning of today's Kalushsko-Rishskaya line was formed by the first part of its northern outer branch; this section - 4.5 kilometers from Prospect Mira to VDNKh (the latter is the transcription of the abbreviation for the exhibition of the achievements of the national economy , near which the station is located) - was opened on May 1, 1958 and was named the Rishskaya Line ". Four years later, the southern branch went into operation, temporarily called the "Kalushskaya Line"; it covered 8.1 kilometers and five stations from Oktyabrskaya to Novyje Tscherjomuschki , although the Shabolovskaya station was already planned at that time, but - due to difficult geological conditions on the section between Oktyabrskaya and Leninsky Prospect - not yet built. In 1964 the southern branch was extended by 1.5 km and one station; In the building of the new Kaluschskoje depot, the provisional above-ground station Kaluschskaja was built , which was then used for a number of years for passenger exchange until it was opened in 1974 as a new, underground station of the same name plus the Beljajewo station on a 3.6 km long Extension route was created, was closed. In the 1970s, the active expansion of the two branches and the intended connection between them continued. On January 3, 1971, the extension of the south branch by 3.9 km to the north to the Kitai-Gorod station (then Ploshchad Nogina ) went into operation, at the same time as the north extension of line 7 to the same station at which - for the first time in the history of the Moscow subway - a platform-level transfer option between the two lines was provided. The final closing of the last 3.2 km long gap between the northern and southern branch took place on December 31, 1971; the Kalushskaya and Rishskaya lines "merged" to form the Kalushsko-Rishskaya line. In the following years the line was expanded several times in both directions. In 1974 the extension to Belyayevo already mentioned went into operation; four years later, on September 29, 1978, the 8.1 km long extension to the north to Medvedkowo was handed over to its destination, and it was not until November 5, 1980 that the aforementioned Shabolovskaya station could be opened on the existing section. The last two extensions took place on November 6, 1987 (2.9 km from Beljajewo to Tjoply Stan ) and on January 17, 1990 (3.6 km from Tjoply Stan to Bitzewski Park ), with the expansion of the line to the south was completed.

Renaming of stations

Novoyassenevskaya Station (Bitzewski Park)

The following stations on the line were renamed after they went into operation:

station Previous names Years
VDNKh WSChW 1958-1959
Alexeyevskaya Shcherbakovskaya 1966-1990
Me 1958-1966
Mira prospectus Botanichesky Sad 1958-1966
Sukharevskaya Kolkhoznaya 1971-1990
Kitai-gorod Ploshchad Nogina 1971-1990
Tretyakovskaya Novokuznetskaya 1971-1983
Novoyassenevskaya Bitzewski Park 1990-2009

The renaming of the Bitzewski Park station to Novoyassenewskaya on June 1, 2009 was justified by the management of the Moscow Metro with the fact that the old name for a future transfer station on the Butovskaya line , which was to be connected to the Kalushsko-Rishskaya line there, was reserved (this finally went into operation on February 27, 2014). For similar reasons, the Delovoi Zentr station on the Filjovskaya Line was renamed Vystavochnaja (the Delovoi Center station on the Kalininskaya Line was inaugurated on January 31, 2014). The renaming of Botanitscheski Sad to Prospekt Mira in 1966 was also due to the fact that the name was reserved for the station that was realized in 1978 and was given this name. The latter is also not far from the 300-hectare newer Botanical Garden of the Russian Academy of Sciences , which gives it its name , while the old, only 6-hectare garden of the Lomonosov University's Botanical Faculty is located at the station, renamed Prospekt Mira .

Expansion planning

Today the line is largely considered complete. At the beginning of the 1990s there were still plans to build an extension to the north via the Chelobitjewo settlement to the city of Mytishchi . However, since there were disagreements with the government of Moscow Oblast in connection with the cost allocation , on whose territory the extension route would be located, the project was immediately rejected completely. Another possibility for expansion would be the construction of a stopover on the Tretyakovskaya - Oktyabrskaya route , which would offer a direct transfer to line 9 , which has not yet been possible , but this plan can only be realized in a very long-term perspective. On December 14, 2009, the construction of this station, which is said to have the name “Jakimanka”, was included in the plan for Moscow's development to 2025. Problems are now caused by a newly developed residential area, which was not yet taken into account in the planning of the 1990s.
