Depot and vehicles
The line is served by three depots . The oldest is the Sokol depot, which was opened in 1938, the Samoskvorezkoye depot was added in 1969 and the Bratejewo depot in 2014. All depots run (exclusively since 1988) trains of various modifications of the 81-717 / 714 series , which have been in service on this line since their development in the late 1970s. Due to the intensive use of the line, only trains with eight wagons each are used; In order to make this possible, at the end of the 1980s the platforms at the two stations Mayakovskaya and Paveletskaya , which originated from the early days of the line, even had to be extended by a few meters.
history
chronology
- September 11, 1938: Commissioning of the 8.5 km long first section from Sokol to Teatralnaja .
- January 1, 1943: The line is extended by 6.2 km to the south, the Avtosavodskaya station is created .
- November 20, 1943: The two stations Novokuznetskaya and Paveletskaya are subsequently completed on the section opened almost a year earlier .
- December 31, 1964: Another 6.2 km extension, this time at the northern end to the Retschnoi Woksal station .
- August 11, 1969: The line is extended again from Avtosavodskaya station. The new stations Kolomenskaja , Kaschirskaja , Warschawskaja and Kachowskaja are located on the 9.5 km long section , with the latter two stations later being removed from the line (1985 as a branch, 1995 as an independent line, first part of a second ring line). Shortly before Kolomenskaya is the only surface section of the line where it crosses the Moskva .
- July 20, 1979: The new Tverskaya station is built on the line between the Mayakovskaya and Teatralnaya stations that has existed since the line opened .
- February 9, 1985: Opening of the 6.4 km long route from Kashirskaya to Orechowo . The old route to Kakhovskaya becomes the branch of the line; the trains now run alternately on it and the new main line.

Renaming of stations
The following stations on the line were renamed after their completion:
- the Tverskaya station was called Gorkovskaya until 1990
- the Teatralnaya station was called Ploshchad Sverdlova until 1990
- the Avtosavodskaya station was called Zavod imeni Stalina until 1956
- Tsaritsyno station was called Lenino until 1990
The line itself was also renamed in the course of the major "anti-communist" renaming campaign in 1990, from Gorkovsko-Samoskvorezkaya to Samoskworezkaya .
Expansion planning
No further expansion of the line is currently planned (as of April 2019). An extension to the north to the city of Khimki on the other side of the Moscow motorway ring was refrained from, in order not to overload the line. As an alternative to until 2021 at the close of the last stop Chowrino by leading railway St. Petersburg-Moscow between existing elektrichka -Haltepunkten Chowrino and Lewobereschnaja the breakpoint Chowrino-2 will be built, there to a transition between Metro and commuter trains in the direction of Khimki and further north enable.
