Depot and vehicles

The line has two depots : the Severnoye depot , which has existed since the line was opened, and the Cherkisovo depot since 1990 . Both run trains, each consisting of 7 wagons, of a further developed modification of the 81-717 / 714 series , which have been delivered for this line since 1996. In 2006, the Severnoje depot still had seven trains of the older type “E / Em” in operation, while the Cherkisovo depot had been fully equipped with the new vehicle fleet since the early 2000s. In September 2008, however, the last E-family train was also retired in Severnoje .

history

chronology

  • May 15, 1935: With the opening of the 8.4 km long section from Sokolniki to Park Kultury , the Moscow Metro was born. At the same time, a branch of the line from Okhotny Ryad to the Smolenskaya station will be put into operation, which will alternate with the main line.
  • March 13, 1938: The branch leading from Okhotny Ryad is spun off from the line - which is now called "Kirovsko-Frunzenskaya Line" - and is temporarily part of the new Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line .
  • May 1, 1957: The line is extended by 2.5 km further southwest from Park Kultury to Sportivnaya .
  • January 12, 1959: Further extension by 4.5 km to the southwest to the Uniwersitet station .
  • December 30, 1963: Extension further southwest by two stations to the final stop at Yugo-Sapadnaya .
  • December 31, 1965: The line is extended for the first time at its northeastern end; a 2.5 km long new section and the Preobrazhenskaya Ploshchad station will be created .
  • 1983: Vorobyovy Gory station (then Leninskie Gory ) has to be closed due to structural defects; the Moskva bridge on which it was built will be demolished and replaced by two temporary bridges for rail traffic on both sides. The renovation of the bridge and the station will not be completed until 19 years later; until then, the trains will travel the Sportivnaya - Uniwersitet section without stopping.
  • August 1, 1990: Commissioning of a 3.8 km long extension to the northeast. The Cherkisovskaya and Ulitsa Podbelskowo (today Bulwar Rokossowskowo ) stations are opened.
  • December 14, 2002: Reopening of the completely newly built Vorobyovy Gory station .
  • December 8, 2014: Opening of the extension by one station to Troparjowo in the southwest.
  • January 18, 2016: Opening of the new Rumjanzewo terminus in the southwest, already outside the Moscow ring road .
  • February 15, 2016: Opening of the new terminus at Salarjewo in the southwest as the 200th station of the Moscow Metro.
  • June 20, 2019: Extension by four stations to Kommunarka in the southwest

Renaming of stations

The following stations on the line were renamed after their completion:

  • the Bulwar Rokossowskowo station was called Ulitsa Podbelskowo from 1990 to 2014
  • the Krasnye Vorota station was called Lermontovskaya from 1962 to 1986
  • the Tschistyje Prudy station was called Kirovskaya until 1990
  • the Lubyanka station was called Dzerzhinskaya until 1990
  • the Okhotny Ryad station was called imeni LM Kaganowitscha from 1955 to 1957 and Prospekt Marxa from 1961 to 1990
  • the Kropotkinskaya station was called Dvorets Sovetov until 1957
  • Vorobyovy Gory station was called Leninskie Gory until 1999

In addition, the line itself was renamed, on November 5, 1990 from the "Kirovsko-Frunzenskaya Line" to today's "Sokolnitscheskaya Line".

Expansion planning

An extension of 11.6 km in a south-westerly direction with the stations Filatow Lug, Prokschino, Olchowaja and Kommunarka is planned for May 2019 . A further extension by one station to Potapowo should go into operation at the earliest in 2021-2022 . In Kommunarka, the transition to the Stolbowo terminus of the new Kommunarskaya line (line 16) planned for opening in 2023 is planned. A depot of the same name initially planned at the meanwhile terminus Salarjewo is now to be built under the name Stolbowo at Kommunarka / Stolbowo by 2021 in order to serve both lines in the future.

In the (north) east direction at the beginning of the 2010s for the period after 2020 there was a branch from the Cherkisovskaya station to the Shcholkowskaya station (transition to the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line / line 3) and beyond in the direction of the districts of Golyanovo and Vostochny planned with a total of five stations. According to plans from 2018, however, line 3 itself is to be extended to Golyanovo by 2025, so that the expansion of the Samoskvorezkaya line in this direction is in question.

Others

The Biblioteka imeni Lenina (in German: Lenin Library ) station on the Sokolnicheskaya Line is part of the only four-way transfer hub in the Moscow Metro. The Vorobjowy Gory station, further south-west, is the only station of the Moscow Metro that is directly on a bridge - here over the Moskva River. Except for this station, a small section between the Preobrazhenskaya Ploshchad and Sokolniki stations and three sections of the Salarjewo – Kommunarka extension opened in 2019 (one of which includes the above-ground stations Filatow Lug and Prokschino ), the line runs underground.

The Metro Museum in Sportivnaya station is also interesting . It's hard to find though, a small door to the right of the exit leads to a staircase that leads to the museum on the third floor.
