Tram scheme. Tram A - Metro Chistye Prudy - Kaluzhskaya Square

"Moscow routes, familiar routes
Let's sit in the "bug" and wave at random:
In a wide circle, the Garden ring,
Through the narrow streets we’ll turn towards Arbat.”

City portal collected interesting selection routes for connoisseurs like me. I am sharing with you, friends.

The shortest bus route is A
The length of this route, stretching from Academician Zelinsky Street to the Universitet metro station, is only a little more than 3 kilometers. A pedestrian at average speed can cover this distance in 30-40 minutes. But when you are in a hurry, there is no time for walking, so the bus is very necessary here, especially considering that its main function is to connect two metro lines. He does this quickly, as he drives on a road free of traffic jams. It stops moving at 10 pm.

Unique route - monorail
From the Timiryazevskaya metro station to Sergei Eisenstein Street or back, you can travel on the only monorail in Russia, which began operating in November 2004 as excursion route, because along it are located the entrance to the All-Russian Exhibition Center, the television center, the Sheremetev estate, and other Moscow attractions. Now about 20 thousand people use it every day. Metro tickets are valid here; you can transfer from the Timiryazevskaya and VVTs stations for free.

Tram route "Annushka" - A
This route has been operating for more than 100 years, and, undoubtedly, during this time it has become the most famous not only for Muscovites, but also for guests of the city. At first he walked along Boulevard Ring, called “Ring A”, which Muscovites affectionately turned into “Annushka”. Then it changed its route several times and now starts from Kaluzhskaya Square and goes through the center of the capital to Chistye Prudy. Despite the change in direction, the people firmly attached the name to this route. Some readers of The Master and Margarita associate the name “Annushka” with the death of Berlioz, but in fact they have nothing in common. The peculiarity of “Annushka” is that it includes a restaurant car of the same name and the only one in Moscow.

Tram route No. 9 with a turnaround at a dead end
Not far from the Mendeleevskaya metro station there is an unusual for Moscow tram route, the trains of which consist of two coupled cars with 5 doors on each side. He walks along Lesnaya Street to Belorussky railway station. Exactly a large number of people and cars in the center, as well as the development of offices on the tram ring, led to the use of a push-pull shuttle system, in which the cars, like in the subway, do not turn around, but travel back and forth, and the doors in them open on both sides.

Most a tourist route tram - No. 39
The route of tram No. 39, like Annushki, begins at Chistye Prudy, then passes along the Boulevard Ring and ends at the University metro station. And it has always been this way, since its opening in 1963. It is touristy because, sitting in a tram car at the window, any tourist will see, passing, and where necessary, and getting out, old estates and houses, Donskoy and St. Daniel monasteries, Lomonosovsky and Leninsky prospects with their Stalinist buildings. And having arrived at the final point, everyone can walk to the main building of the legendary Moscow State University.

The most tourist trolleybus route is No. 7
Some Muscovites prefer to travel by trolleybuses, and if their tourists ask them to name a route convenient for them, they will, of course, recommend No. 7. It goes from Kaluga Square (near Gorky Park) to Victory Park. These stops themselves will interest guests of the capital, and having settled down on the trolleybus, we drive along Leninsky Prospekt, then along Kosygina Street, then through observation deck Sparrow Hills, then near the Moscow State University building and along the Moskva River embankment to Kievsky railway station, at which we turn onto Kutuzovsky Prospekt and move to the final one. Any stop is an opportunity to see old and new Moscow.

The most innovative tram route - No. 1 7
What innovations could there be in the tram route? But they can: firstly, insulating the canvas from road transport, Secondly, new technology fastenings of rails and sleepers, thirdly, boarding platforms and tram steps at the same level, fourthly, passengers boarding is carried out at all doors. And fifthly, it is also planned to provide tram traffic lights for the “green wave” for ourselves. Don't believe that this can all happen? Take tram No. 17, which goes along the Ostankino-Medvedkovo route.

Trolleybus route "Bukashka" - B
Once upon a time, in 1912, on the Garden Ring, which was called “Ring B”, the place of horse-drawn cars was taken by a tram, which was replaced 25 years later by a trolleybus. Its route, naturally, was called “B”, but the name “Bukashka”, given by Muscovites to the tram, became familiar to the new type of transport. Now, on the outer and inner sides of the Garden Ring, passengers travel in trolleybuses with stencils “B-red” and “B-black”. On the outer route on Saturdays, paying no more for the fare than before, you will become a listener to bard songs.

Service facilities and tram park of the city of Moscow. The year the Moscow tram appeared was 1899. The tram service is managed by the Mosgortrans organization. As of April 2018, the city has 48 tram routes, of which three are shortened. There are 5 depots. The scheme is divided into 2 unequal parts. Increasing numbers tram lines not planned yet.

Designs and diagram of Moscow tram routes

The type of construction of the Moscow tram tracks is sleeper-crushed stone and sleeper-sand. In some places there are no sleepers at all. The type of coating is dominated by sand-concrete tiles. Asphalt surfaces are common, but less common. A small proportion (8 km each) have block and rocky surfaces. The latter was very common in past times, and then it was replaced by other types of coating. At intersections with roads, rubber panels are used, sometimes extended reinforced concrete slabs or reinforced concrete-rubber slabs are used. There is no coverage at all on 25 km of tracks.

The total length of tram lines is 418 kilometers. The Moscow tram scheme consists of two spatially separated parts: the main and northwestern parts. There is a road connection between them.

Moscow tram cars

In Moscow, trams of various designs dating back to different eras are used. There are also service cars. A large number of old carriages were transferred to the museum. In 2018, there are about 900 trams in Moscow designed to transport passengers, and 810 are in working order.

In 2017, the Moscow tram fleet was significantly updated. A large number of three-section Vityaz-M cars entered the routes, while outdated cars, on the contrary, were taken out of service. The new ones are of the low-floor type and have a modern design. Similar trams now run in the east, northeast, southeast, as well as in the south and center of the Russian capital. They provide tram service on 15 routes. Their total number is 200 units. They carry approximately 1,000,000 passengers per week. They are expected to operate for 30 years.

In terms of amenities, the new cars are a winner. They have more seats, there is a playground for children's supplies. The number of forward-facing seats has been increased by 30 percent. total area, where people can be, has also grown. The number of screens has increased.

Prospects for the development of the Moscow tram

Basically, the development of the Moscow tram follows the path of modernization and renewal of the tram fleet and existing lines. The last tram line appeared on the Moscow tram map in 1982, and then there was only a shortening of the tracks. Two small lines that were previously closed reopened in 2012. On this moment There is no specific information about the expansion of the tram network, although there are a number of projects.

There is also a discussion about the possibility of closing monorail lines and replacing them with tram lines.

Tram route No. 39

There are a large number of tram routes in Moscow. The city looks like a ring slightly elongated along the meridian, bounded by the Moscow Ring Road. Some areas are located outside its borders. Tram route 39 (Moscow) serves passengers in the central part of the Russian capital. His address is Chistoprudny Boulevard, 1. Users rate it 3.7 out of five. They praise the convenience and speed. And the area itself where this route is laid is also praised.

Conclusion

Thus, the Moscow tram scheme is a large system of tram lines that has been operating for many decades. It consists of two parts. The development of the tram is taking place along the path of its modernization, and not by increasing the number of lines.

Without interrupting their work for the traditional weekend, already on Saturday the cars of the Moscow tram route № 20 back on line. They took passengers along the new route. And this is only the first step in adjusting the next group of metropolitan rail routes.

“Twenty” was the first to be changed

From December 23, 2017, the tram route № 20 "Art. Ugreshskaya - Kursky Station" has been seriously updated. It has been switched to daily operation, movement intervals have been reduced, last flights began to leave two and a half hours later.

But the main thing is the change in route. Traffic on the section from the Museum named after. Andrey Rublev to Ugreshskaya MCC station filmed. Instead, the cars are directed along Andronevsky Proezd and Volochaevskaya Street to Krasnokazarmennaya Square. Departure from Kursky railway station daily from 5:36 to 23:36, from Krasnokazarmennaya Square - from 5:48 to 23:48. Movement intervals are nine minutes, in the early morning and late evening hours - up to 12 minutes.

Route popularity № 20 significantly decreased a decade and a half ago after the opening of the first stage of the Lublin metro line, which ended in 1999 with the launch of the Dubrovka station. Traffic intervals on the route during certain hours gradually increased to 40 minutes. At the same time, the connection between Volochaevskaya Street and Kursky Station and the transfer hub from three stations The Moscow metro proved to be in demand every time it spontaneously arose during temporary changes to tram routes. Locals They have been asking for a long time to make a permanent route for them, but they were finally heard only very recently.

Changing route № 20 - only the first in an already planned chain of optimizations of eight metropolitan tram routes, which have already been approved in the city register of routes.

Immediate plans

It has already been decided that the route № 3 “Balaklavsky Ave. – The Chistye Prudy metro will be extended along Chertanovskaya Street to the final station “Ulitsa Akademika Yangelya” along the night route No. 3n, now operating six nights a week, except the nights from Sunday to Monday. At the same time, the production of wagons on the route will cease № 16 "St. Academician Yangel – Serpukhov Val.”

Will mutually exchange final stops routes №№ 34 “16th Parkovaya St. - Novogireevo" and 36 « Children's sanatorium– 3rd Vladimirskaya street.” Route № 34 will be shortened to 3rd Vladimirskaya Street, and the route № 36 , on the contrary, will be extended to the final station “Novogireevo”.

It is planned to shorten the tram route to the Semenovskaya metro station instead of the Partizanskaya metro station № 32 "Etc. Enthusiasts - Partizanskaya Metro. And the route № 12 "Etc. Enthusiastov - 2nd st. Mechanical Engineering", on the contrary, will extend along Entuziastov Highway, Ave. Budyonny, Izmailovskoe highway, st. Izmailovsky Val, Shcherbakovskaya St., 2nd St. Izmailovsky Menagerie to the Partizanskaya metro station.

After the change, route cars will be able to drive closer to the lobby of the Sokolniki metro station, where it was in early December. № 25 "Ostankino - Sokolnicheskaya outpost." The route will be extended along 2nd Polevoy lane, st. Stromynka, Babaevskaya st. and st. Matrosskaya Silence to Bolshoi Matrossky Lane. with a turn through the tram depot named after. Rusakova.

The route will be straightened somewhat № 46 "Metro Boulevard Rokossovsky - Metro Proletarskaya." His entry to Malaya Semenovskaya Street, Semenovsky Lane will be canceled. and Izmailovskaya st. when going to the Proletarskaya metro station.

What else is being prepared?

Mass deliveries of three-section 71-931M Vityaz-M cars, of which there were already 110 in Moscow by the end of 2017, are encouraging metropolitan transport workers to review the Moscow tram route network. Capacious carriages are sent to routes with high passenger traffic. After the complete transfer of the tram depot named after. Bauman to service the “Vityaz”, they will begin to arrive at other depots – Oktyabrskoye and them. Rusakova. The separate network of the Krasnopresnensky depot, which previously received 70 Pesa cars, will remain unchanged for now. And on the main network, the appearance of new cars will cause inevitable changes in routes. Some of them will even change their depot of registration - it will depend on the type of rolling stock.

Unsuitable for Vityaz operation, the oldest surviving tram depot named after. Apakova will continue to work with traditional single-section cars and coupled cars based on the Tatra T3 model. “Short” cars will also be worked on at the site of the Tramway Repair Plant, which is being returned to work.

And for work with new modern cars, another territory occupied by the Logistics Base of the State Unitary Enterprise “Mosgortrans” on Ugreshskaya Street will be adapted. A tram maintenance and repair facility will appear here, with a storage area for 150 three-section trams. Project financing is included in the Targeted Investment Program of the city of Moscow. A competition for the design of a new transport facility has already been announced.

Mass production of three-section cars with high current consumption in the capital requires ensuring a stable power supply and modernizing the contact network. To identify “weak points,” Mosgortrans ordered work to calculate the power supply of the contact network. However, not a single applicant showed up for the competition held in December. The capital's tram operators revealed plans for further changes in routes to the competition participants. All calculations had to be done for a promising route network, which even included some sections just being prepared for construction.

Thus, according to preliminary information, from the side of Akademika Yangelya Street to Biryulyovo-Zapadnoye they are going to redirect the route instead of the Moskvoretsky Market № 1 , and to connect with areas closer to the center, extend the route from Balaklava Avenue № 49 .

They want to leave the routes unchanged No. 4 (right And left), 7, 11, 13, 14, 26, 29, 35, 36, 37, 39, 47. Superfluous in new network there may be routes No. 2, 9, 20, 32, 34k, 38, 40, 45, B– they are compensated by other variable routes. Some of them will almost double in size.

The longest route (26.9 km long) should be № 12 . It will connect 16th Parkovaya Street and Cheryomushki, completely absorbing the route № 38 . The route in the projected network will be slightly shorter (23 km long) № 25 . According to preliminary information, in this form it will connect Medvedkovo and Kursky Station, passing through Oleniy Val Street, Baumanskaya and Volochaevskaya streets and absorbing part of the route routes No. B And 45 .

The length of the route will change slightly № 8 – from 9.9 to 9.4 km. Previously, it was planned to run it from 3rd Vladimirskaya Street instead of Novokonnaya Square to Kursky Station along the restored line, but the decision to revive this line has so far been blocked by local social activists.

Route № 19 from Kalanchevskaya Street, instead of Novovorotnikovsky Lane, they will be directed to Tverskaya Zastava, and along it old highway the route will be extended № 50 . Such measures will make it possible to refuse to use the route № 9 . Route № 24 from Kursky Station, instead of Novogireev, it will only go to Entuziastov Proezd. The route will be shortened even further № 34 - instead of the previous 17.7 km from its route, only 8.06 km will be left, which is approximately equal to the distance along the route of the current route No. 34k from 16th Parkovaya Street to Malaya Semenovskaya Street. Route routes will become longer №№ 43 (18.2 km instead of 15.4 km), 46 (17.0 km instead of 16.7) and A(16.0 km instead of 10.2).

Note that with the existing network, “Annushka” will not be able to increase in size that much. The location of all existing tram rings allows you to organize a route of either greater or lesser length. Apparently plans for the legendary capital route also drawn up taking into account new construction (the line on Academician Sakharov Avenue, or the turn from the center to Novospassky Bridge on Paveletskaya Square).

Vityaz-M cars are going to be used to fully equip the routes №№ 3, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 17, 26, 36, 37, 39, 50 . The remaining routes on the main network will continue to be operated by single carriages. And only on the route № 1 will maintain the operation of couplers of two Tatra T3 type cars in a multi-unit system.

However, it is known that the more long-term plans are, the more various changes can occur with their implementation. Therefore, with greater confidence we can expect in the coming months only those changes that are already included in the city register.

Let us remember that in September tram service to Tverskaya Zastava and three auxiliary tram routes were opened in Moscow.
