Starokachalovskaya Street (metro station)

The station was opened on December 27, 2003 as part of the “Starokachalovskaya Street” section - “ Buninskaya Alley ”, after its commissioning in the Moscow metro there were 170 stations.

“Starokachalovskaya Street” is part of a single complex with the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya line station “ Dmitry Donskoy Boulevard ”, from the sides of which both platforms of the Butovskaya line were built. You can make a transfer either through the common south lobby, or from the northern end of the station. Despite the fact that elevators for lifting onto the platform are installed on the elevator stations of the Butovskaya line, they are absent on Starokachalovskaya Street, which makes the transfer of disabled people to the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya line extremely difficult. At the moment it is the only station of the Butovskaya line, not equipped with elevators for disabled people.

Until October 2013, turnstiles and ticket booths were located in the transition between the stations “Dmitry Donskoy Boulevard” and “Starokachalovskaya Street”. It was originally planned that the trip on the line would be paid separately, which was justified by the fact that the line allegedly belongs to another type of transport - the light metro, but even before the line was opened, it was decided to abandon these plans. In fact, the line was built according to the standards of an ordinary metro, but for almost ten years it was designated on the charts as a light metro line.

The station was built of monolithic reinforced concrete on a special project. It consists of two separate single-span rooms. The width of the platforms is 4.5 m. The length of the platforms is 102 m, and before the opening of Bitsevsky Park and Lesoparkovaya it was the shortest of the underground stations of the Moscow Metro - no more than five standard-size cars could fit on it.

The station is framed in the same style as the Dmitry Donskoy Boulevard station, but in a different color scheme: the western hall is in light gray and dark green, the east one is in light gray and orange. The track walls are lined with Koelga marble and gray-pink Vyborg granite . Lighting platforms - lamps-sconces in the form of white balls and fluorescent lamps .

To the south of the station, there are exits on the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya line (to connect the line with the Varshavskoye depot serving it), as well as a crossroad that was used to turn trains before extending the line to the north. All arrows are located within the boundaries of the station “Dmitry Donskoy Boulevard”, have a numbering with it and are controlled from its checkpoint - thus, formally, Starokachalovskaya Street has no developmental track.

Since there are no turnover dead ends behind the station, before the extension of the line to Bitsevsky Park, trains arrived at each of the halls one by one and went back from the same route (a crossroad is located in front of the station). Thus, in normal mode, the disembarking of passengers (without boarding) was made only from trains remaining at the station for night set-up (trains going to the depot leave from the station "Buninskaya Alley" without passengers and do not enter Starokachalovskaya Street). Other metro stations that lacked or lacked recurrent deadlocks: “ Teply Stan ” (until January 1990), “ Volzhskaya ” (until 1996), “ Krylatskoye ” (until January 2008), “ Alma-Aty ”, “ Park ” Victory "," Kuntsevskaya "Filevskaya line," International "and" Alexander Garden ".

The extension of the line to the north was started in September 2011, and from February 26, 2014 the trains will go through Starokachalovskaya Street without turning. On February 27, the Bittsevsky Park station was opened, and Starokachalovskaya Street finally ceased to be the final station.
