Moscow is not only streets and avenues, it is also the underworld. He is very mysterious and full of secrets. Water lines are intertwined here, the sewage system is adjacent to ancient crypts and cemeteries. However, the main and significant component of the underground life of the capital is, of course, the subway.
The Novoyasenevskaya station was opened in the spring of 2008 (its first name is Bitsevsky Park). At the moment, it is one of the most important stations of the Kaluga-Riga line, its workload in the morning and evening hours is more than 30 thousand people. Let's see what she looks like? and figure out its location.
Interesting story
Moscow began to expand in the 60s of the last century. Prior to this, the city limits ended where the Moscow Ring Road is now. It was the ring road that was considered the administrative border of the capital right up to the 1980s.
The territories adjacent to the Novoyasenevskaya metro station were considered to be the deep Moscow suburbs. But Bitsevsky Park was not even mentioned. It was created only in the spring of 1992, after the collapse of the USSR.
Station location
The authorities of the capital planned to expand not only Moscow, but also to extend the metro lines to the deepest areas of the Moscow Region. Most recently, stations were opened, reaching the densely populated points of Solntsev, Novokosin, Zhulebin and Myakinin.
One of these new platforms is the Novoyasenevskaya station. She is next to Yasenevo, the last station of the orange line. It connects the peripheral residential areas of Butovo and other areas of the near Moscow region with metropolitan sectors.
Construction and architecture
The type of construction of the Novoyasenevskaya station is, in common use, called the “centipede”. This means that the ceiling of the lobby is supported by two rows, each of which has forty columns. They are made of pink marble, and the walls to the right of the paths are tiled with dark green shades. In combination with gray granite, which covers the lobby floor, this color creates an unimaginable color of grace and grandeur.
The Novoyasenevskaya metro station was designed by the famous architect N. I. Shumakov. For the convenience of passengers, two lobbies were created: the northern one (with access to the underpass) and the south-eastern (ground). The station is combined with another metro station. The transfer to the Bitsevsky Park is through the ground lobby from the southern exit of Novoyasenevskaya station.
Description of the lobby
The decor of the station is made in an unusual style. Ceilings, for example, have suspended beams that are installed to mask all wires and pipes. They are white, so it seems that the space of the lobby is simply unlimited.
The cellular metal tiles on the track walls look very advantageous in combination with the new gray granite flooring. Separately, it is worth noting how conveniently arranged exits for the disabled. For them there is a special lift, which was installed as part of the target program "Social Integration of Disabled and Other Persons with Disabilities."
Trains and Track Lines
Electric trains at Novoyasenevskaya station are formed of three types of cars: double-headed, in which there is a control cabin, intermediate motor and intermediate trailed. The number of wagons in one train is 8 pieces.
In 2010, new modernized electric trains were developed in which the level of comfort reaches the level of advanced foreign models. It is modern trains of a new generation that operate on the entire section of the line, starting from Oktyabrskaya and ending with the last station. They are equipped with folding seats that create more roominess during rush hours. Also, in the new electric trains, the width of the doorways has been increased to speed up the process of disembarking and boarding passengers.
The Moscow metro now has a total of 206 stations. Novoyasenevskaya is the 141st metro station in Moscow. Thanks to modern wagons that are equipped with advanced interactive passenger information systems, it is considered one of the most convenient stations. Especially these improvements make it easier for older passengers, as well as foreign tourists, who find it difficult to hear the Russian language by ear. Now they can see on an electronic screen what station they are on, where they are going and what the next station is.
