(today there are 24 operating MCC stations) - a new Moscow transport designed to make movement in Moscow even more convenient. The first stage opened on September 10. On this moment Twenty-four of the thirty-one stations are open for passenger use. Five stations have a covered passage to the metro, six have a passage to the metro across the street. By the end of October, 6 more stations will open.
24 open stations MCC - see the list below...

So, I decided not to put this matter off, and yesterday, after work, I joined. I didn’t drive the full circle, I didn’t have time, but I mastered three quarters of it - from Vladykino to Izmailovo.
Well, what can I say? So far it is obvious that this is an attraction clean water, approximately like the Moscow monorail immediately after its opening, which was then officially operating “in excursion mode.” Only the monorail was paid, but the MCC was not, which is what the vast majority of its passengers use. But first things first.
What I liked: Electric trains! You can laugh at me, but yesterday I rode the Swallow for the first time. Very smooth acceleration and quiet in plan soundtrack, movement. While driving, you can hear not the sound of traction engines, not the howl of gears, not the knock of compressors - but only the grinding of the wheel flanges on the rails in curves. Well, even at high speed you can feel the car wobbling. But, by and large, in comparison with those ER1 ED4M that we drive - heaven and earth. In general, comparing Siemens Desiro Rus and the crafts of the Demikhovsky plant is like comparing black sturgeon caviar with capelin caviar.
Navigation at the stations is fully present (although in some places the signs with original names, which were changed during construction). But, in general, everything is clear and intelligible:
Escalators work at all stations where I was - which is important, considering that the route of the Circular Railway, historically, is located on high embankments for almost its entire length.
What I didn't like: Everything on the MCC is still very, very raw. Fortunately, it will take at least two more months to finish it - but in our country, assault and show-off are at the forefront, so... Many stations have not completed the actual exits to the city - for me, for example, to get to the platform from Dmitrovsky highway, I had to walk past the Okruzhnaya platform, because the entrance to it is open only from the inside of the ring, and walk to the next Vladykino station. Go to outside there is one on Okruzhnaya - but it is not yet completed and is closed. Ex here The “wild” crossing of the tracks was blocked with fences - however, citizens have already made holes in them... you have to cross the railway, but walk a kilometer around - no fools. The same thing happened at the exit - and I got out in Izmailovo: the direct access to the Partizanskaya metro station is still being completed, so citizens are forced to use the only way out towards Tkatskaya Street, and make a detour under the overpasses of the MK MZhD and the fourth ring. Three hundred meters in a straight line, and six hundred along the existing route - there is a difference.
Secondly, as many have noted, there really are not enough informant announcements on which side the platform is to which the train arrives. On the MCC, the platforms are mostly coastal, but about a quarter are island ones. Until the train approaches the platform directly, it is not visible. As a result, those leaving rush from one side of the car to the other. Over time, of course, they will remember where everything is located and get used to it - just as they are already accustomed to pressing buttons on doors so that they open - but now this is noticeably lacking.
Third is the name. What means Moscow Central Circle? Where is the Moscow non-central ring located? There was a normal name - Moscow District Railway, historical, and understandable to everyone: BMO is BMO, it is in the region, and Okruzhnaya is in Moscow. But no. EM TSE KA. Central Committee some kind of EM. The combination of three consonants is terrible.
Well, the fourth thing I don’t like about the MCC - but this is my personal IMHO: the organization of a purely roundabout traffic. The MK MZD has connections with all radial railway lines of the Moscow hub, including those that do not have a through diametrical passage: Kazansky, Kievsky, Paveletsky and Yaroslavsky. Nothing prevents some trains from these directions from running not to their dead-end stations, but in transit through the ring to another radius. Part, not all - maybe one train out of five - ten. Especially considering the desire of the Moscow Region authorities and Russian Railways to increase the number of suburban trains under the slogan of turning them into a kind of “light metro” (a term in this case, absolutely illiterate, but I will use it in relation to the situation). Yes, this will complicate scheduling and will force you to combine schedules in different directions - but nothing is impossible. After all, the New York subway has been operating on the same route pattern for many decades. Of course, someone will object to me that this is a utopia - my dears, ten years ago the very passenger traffic along the Small Ring was also considered a utopia. However...
Will they use: Definitely they will. First of all, those who work or live within walking distance of the ring stations. I myself, if I were still living on Kutuzovsky Prospekt, I would absolutely use it - mine native home stands directly opposite the platform:
With transfer trips it is much more difficult - for now, on the MCC you can count convenient transfers on the fingers of one hand - "Leninsky Prospekt" - Gagarin Square, "Kutuzovskaya", "Vladykino", "Cherkizovskaya" - Lokomotiv - well, perhaps that's all. Transfers to trains and ground transport are even more difficult. Perhaps, when all this is brought in accordance with plans, passenger traffic will calm down. Again, it is convenient to use the ring for travel only if the route along it is a quarter, or maximum a third, of the length of the ring. If it is more, then it is much more convenient to drive in a straight line, especially since such an opportunity is almost always available. Well, now 80-90% of passengers are exclusively curious citizens. Including transport freaks - weirdos, loudly discussing the advantages and disadvantages of electric trains of the ES2G class compared to trains of the ET2M series, for example:) But someone has already fully appreciated the innovation and is using it directly - transport - purpose:
True, these are mostly young people, for whom seven miles before a transfer is not a detour :) Interestingly, I noticed that on the trains traveling along the inner side of the ring there are much more passengers than on those traveling on the outer side. Well, personally, the MCC is neither a village nor a city for me, at least at the present time.
About the views from the train window: Let's be objective: since the construction of the Circular Railway in 1908, it has been the center of attraction for industrial zones, which were built around it over the course of seventy (I repeat: SEVENTY) years. And overnight they, and the surrounding surroundings that accompany them, will not go anywhere, even though they try to bashfully cover them with fences:
No, I don’t argue that the railway also passes by some pretty beautiful places in Moscow: in Luzhniki, for example, this is the Novodevichy Convent, and the Luzhniki sports complex itself; in Izmailovo - the same name hotel, and the Izmailovskaya Fair, with its popular print Kremlin; post-war development in the Oktyabrsky Field area; There are beautiful views from the bridges across the Moscow River, the Belokamennaya station is generally located in the forest, and not just in the forest, but in the National natural park"Losiny Island"; and some people like City skyscrapers:
But, in eighty percent of cases, the surrounding landscape from the window will look like this:
So if you love aesthetics fucking- industrial zones, garages, and multi-level transport interchanges- You will certainly enjoy your trip along the MCC. Just hurry up - with the current pace of Moscow urban development, they will soon, for the most part, be exhausted.
My impressions. I, of course, liked it more than I didn’t like it, judging by five-point scale:) Just one thing - a ride on an electric train along the legendary Circular Railway, on which passenger trains have not run for more than eighty years - is worth a lot. Of course, the shoals are very noticeable. But there is no doubt that they will be corrected. The main thing is not to forget about the little things.
It’s good that the ring was not turned into a purely passenger ring, a complete analogue of the metro, as some radically minded comrades proposed: after all, the original purpose of the Circular Railway - to connect all Moscow railway radii - is a strategic thing, and should have remained untouched. Again, variety for railway fans ;)
More from what I noticed. The MCC has its own Moscow time:
Business Center station, with its vibrant green color:
The canopy over the platform is connected to the walls in such a way that when it rains, water will pour into the station. Is this how it was intended?
With me at the Kutuzovskaya station, two hard workers dragged, right across the tracks, some kind of hefty electrical box, and threw it onto the platform, in its narrowest place. A minute later, Swallow arrived on the same path, disembarking passengers who had to step over this box, or squeeze between it and the wall. That is, ensuring the safety of both workers and passengers on the MCC is, so far, in complete disarray. I would like to hope that this will not lead to serious consequences.
Something like that. Of course, I plan to drive along the MCC again, more thoughtfully, and during daylight hours. Otherwise in the dark you can’t see anything around at all :)
In the meantime, I voiced my first impressions of his visit. So all of the above is solely my personal subjective opinion.
Yes, and: a note for those who are in the know;) In my passport, in the “Place of birth” column it says “Moscow city”. And on my father’s side I am a third generation Muscovite;)

MCC - Moscow Central Ring.
Opening September 10, 2016!
 |
 |
The Small Ring of the Moscow Railway (MKZD) is more than a hundred years old. Previously, passenger trains ran along it, but over time, the bulk of traffic was transported by goods. The ring served industrial zones, many of which fell into disrepair over time and best case scenario were used as warehouses.Now these territories are being reorganized: housing is being built here, sport complexes, social facilities. Developing industrial zones need good transport connections. On the rails, where previously only freight trains ran, in 10 years up to 300 million people a year will be able to travel. However, the city does not refuse cargo transportation along the Moscow Ring Railway: freight trains will run along the tracks at night. For freight traffic, additional tracks with a length of about 30 kilometers are being laid.
OPENING OF THE MOSCOW CENTRAL RING (MCC)
COST OF TRAVEL TO MCC
During the first month of operation of the MCC, travel on the Moscow Central Circle will be free. After the end of the starting month of operation, one trip on the MCC will cost 50 rubles, two - 100 rubles, no more than 40 trips - 1,300 rubles, no more than 60 - 1,570 rubles. Ticket without a travel limit will cost passengers 210 rubles for a day, 400 rubles for three days, and 800 rubles for seven days.
ABOUT It will be possible to pay for trips using city tickets, such as “Troika” and “United”. Passengers will not have to pay twice: transfers from the Moscow Ring Railway to the metro will be free for one and a half hours. This time should be enough to go down into the subway, and not necessarily to the nearest station.Beneficiaries will retain the right to free pass around the ring. They will be able to use social card Muscovite. Students and other students will be able to travel on the Moscow Ring Railway using discounted metro cards.
TRAVEL TIME
During peak hours, trains will run every six minutes, at other times - at intervals of 11-15 minutes. It will be possible to drive a full circle along the Moscow Ring Road in an hour and a quarter. The new transport circuit will make travel around the capital 20 minutes shorter on average.According to preliminary calculations, travel time between stations will be from 1.6 to 4.2 minutes.The transfer will take a matter of minutes, and 11 stations are organized on the “dry feet” principle. This means that you won’t have to go outside from the stations. A system of covered passages and galleries will protect pedestrians from rain, snow, and cold. And four stations will have glass walls and roofs to allow natural light in the lobbies.
INTERCEPTION PARKING
Motorists will be able to leave their car in intercept parking lots at 13 transport hubs and transfer to public transport. For citizens with limited mobility, elevators, escalators, lifts will be installed, and tactile tiles will be laid.

The main thing that remains to be done at the second stage of development of the subway is to build a new ring line - Third transfer circuit. Its length will be 42 km. Total n planned to open bmore than 160 km of new stations.
By 2020, the congestion of the capital's metro should decrease by almost half (By 2020, the capital's metro will increase by 78 stations):
"“We believe that it is this additional circuit that will allow us to relieve the existing lines,” sums up M. Khusnullin. — Passengers will not have to travel to the city center to switch to another line.
Among other things, it is through the new ring that the subway is planned to be connected to the Moscow Ring Railway. The main interchange hubs will be the Khoroshevskaya and Nizhegorodskaya Street stations. At the same time, underground and surface trains will run according to an agreed schedule.
“By building the Third Interchange Circuit, we have the opportunity to “string” additional stations onto it, which will be needed when developing new territories,” explains M. Khusnullin. — As soon as we begin to develop new territory, all infrastructure will already be prepared.
Ultimately, due to the creation of new underground routes, the congestion of the capital’s metro should be reduced by almost half. If now, during peak hours, up to 8 people per 1 sq. m are packed into the cars. m, then to 2020 The metro will reach the standard load - about 4.5 people per square meter.".
After the construction of the second ring line:
- Instead of the current 40 minutes it takes to get from the Yugo-Zapadnaya station to Kuntsevskaya, using the second ring you will get there in just 10 minutes!
- now the journey from Kaluzhskaya to Sevastopolskaya takes 35 minutes, but it will only take 3 minutes;
- the trip from Sokolniki to Elektrozavodskaya will take only 3 minutes instead of 22 minutes;
- the route from Kashirskaya to Tekstilshchiki takes 30 minutes, but it will take 2 minutes;
- The travel time from Rizhskaya to Aviamotornaya is currently 20 minutes, and with the opening of the TPK it will be reduced exactly by half!

Surely many have heard about the imminent launch of passenger traffic on the Moscow Ring Railway. But although the abbreviation MKZD in Lately sounds from all the irons controlled by the mayor's office, found in one place brief information on the main issues of interest to a potential passenger, it is not at all easy. I came across this when I was recently preparing a publication on this topic. Therefore, since I had to find and collect all this information (from the city hall portal, the websites of Russian Railways and the Moscow Ring Railway, and from messages from the city government-owned publication m24.ru), I decided to make a short review post about the Moscow Ring Railway as a whole and specifically dwell on what will change launch of passenger traffic along the ring for residents of Zelenograd and others settlements Leningrad direction.
Scheme of the Moscow Ring Road. Image from m24.ru
First, a few words about history. The Small Ring of the Moscow Railway (that is what the Moscow Ring Railway was correctly called until recently) was built in 1903-1908. The road was originally intended for intracity and transit freight traffic, but at first it also carried passenger traffic, which was stopped in 1934.
They started talking about the return of passenger traffic to the Moscow Ring Railway almost immediately after Sobyanin’s arrival, and initially they called it much more early dates its launch. But, apparently, the project required a significantly more serious reconstruction of the infrastructure than seemed necessary at first glance, and its implementation dragged on for more than five years. They promise to launch electric train service in September 2016.

As can be seen in the diagrams, the Moscow Ring Railway on different areas has different distances from the center: somewhere the road comes almost close to the ring metro line, somewhere it is a decent distance away from it. There will be 31 stations on the Moscow Ring Railway, which will provide 17 transfers to 11 metro lines (including the future second subway ring) and 10 transfers to 9 radial railway directions. The issue of the construction of the 32nd station, Presnya, which is marked on some diagrams, is planned to be resolved later. I will add that one station, “Gagarin Square” on Leninsky Prospekt, will be underground - the rest will be above ground. I’ll also note that the names of some stops, in my opinion, are still floating around, so don’t be surprised if you suddenly find some inconsistencies in the diagrams.

In essence, the Moscow Ring Railway will become ring line city train integrated into the metro system. You can pay for travel on the above-ground ring with a metro ticket. At the same time, the transfer between the Moscow Ring Railway and the subway will be free for passengers if they do it within 15 minutes. Well, that is, apparently, both on the Moscow Ring Railway and in the metro you will have to go through the turnstiles, but if you did not go on a spree between them, the money (trips) will not be written off when you re-enter.
“Swallows” will be used as rolling stock on the ground ring. It is stated that during rush hours they will run at intervals of no more than 6 minutes, and in the future the intervals may be reduced.

Now, briefly about the transfer from the Moscow Ring Railway to the Leningrad direction. It will be carried out through the NATI platform, which until recently was the deadliest stopping point between Moscow and Zelenograd. The phrase “the train runs with all stops except NATI” in the minds of passengers meant “with all stops,” because no one stopped at NATI anyway. :) Now this platform promises to live a new life.
The thing is that 350 meters from it (if you count in a straight line), there is the Nikolaevskaya station of the Moscow Ring Railway. These two stopping points will be combined into a transport hub, for the construction of which the Moscow Urban Planning and Land Commission recently allocated a plot of 0.38 hectares. According to Moskomstroyinvest, in addition to the transport terminal, there will be areas for consumer services, public catering, and vehicle maintenance. I don’t know exactly what all this will look like. I can only appeal to pictures from the Moscow Ring Railway website, the relevance of which I am not sure.
The TPU scheme, for example, dates exactly from 2013 - perhaps something has changed in the plans since then.
I also don’t know what the situation is with the construction, but I seriously doubt that by September there will be such a healthy transport hub building with transitions there, because the message about the allocation of land for construction was only a few months ago. However, no matter when and in what form this transport hub is built, the opportunity to transfer from NATI to the Moscow Ring Railway should appear in September of this year. This means that Zelenograd residents (and our neighbors in the Leningrad direction) will have new options for laying routes to many districts of Moscow.
Traveling by rail is interesting not only because the train is considered one of the most safe species transport, but also because while driving you can look at the beautiful landscape. One of these places is the Moscow Circle Railway.
Moscow Circular Railway: history of development
At the beginning of the last century, the development of industry began to reach fairly large heights, and plants and factories grew. Of course, all the products they produced had to be exported on something. Railways began to develop and railroad tracks appeared in different corners countries. There was a railway junction in the very center of the capital, its growth every year was at least 5%.
Nicholas II recognized that it was necessary to relieve Moscow, and this could be done by starting the construction of additional railway junctions. According to the designers, the road should have been at least 54 kilometers long, all adjacent nodes - 154 kilometers. The Moscow railway ring (the scheme provided for the possibility of operating 14 stations, 72 bridges) was supposed to pass through the Moscow River (4 bridges).
The ancient Moscow Ring Railway
It was interesting to create stations designed in Art Nouveau style. After the metro was built, it became perfect example how accommodation is possible railway tracks outside the city, with possible outlines of the boundaries of the metropolis.
At the beginning of 1908, a large ring of the Moscow railway was built, after which the opening was made, but, according to the plan, it had only two tracks and they were intended for freight trains. At that time, no more than 4 trains passed along the ring per day. Passenger roads The BMO railway was opened only in 1909. In 1920, the Moscow Railway was closed to passengers, and in 1934, traffic on it was resumed.
Thanks to the emergence of the Moscow Railway and the development of passenger transportation, Moscow was able to relieve congestion and it became easier to move around the city. The small ring of the Moscow railway made it possible to relieve congestion in the region.

It was for this purpose that it was decided to launch the road; it was built at the beginning of the 20th century. In the form in which it was located after almost a century of abandonment, it required its complete modernization and repairs.
In 2011 it was decided to create Joint-Stock Company responsible for her condition. In 2015, the company left Russian Railways, and the Moscow Government became its owner. Thanks to this, it became possible to invest large amounts in its development. In addition, the company was able to attract investors, whose funds were used to build several stations.
