Location

Description

The station has 4 main tracks and one receiving track for receiving trains with wagons to the station, brought from Podolsk station, as well as for the withdrawal of wagons from Podolsk station. The station has two high side boarding platforms on tracks designed for commuter and passenger electric trains. Freight trains run along the third and fourth tracks. The passenger platforms are positioned at an offset relative to each other. The platform on the second track (to Moscow) is shifted closer to Moscow, and the platform on the first track is shifted closer to the crossing. Pavilions with a ticket office are located on both platforms. Approximately in the middle of the platforms there is an above-ground pedestrian crosswalk with access to Zheleznodorozhnaya Street and Butovsky dead end. Another feature of the station is the location of the exit ramp between the main tracks and the passenger platforms.

There are many access roads adjacent to the station, including the Shcherbinsky test ring, where new railway and subway substations are being tested. Adjacent to the southern neck of the station is one of the tracks serviced by the Podolsk railway station. It is often necessary to put the wagons on the third track, which makes it inconvenient for odd freight trains to travel along this track on the move (they follow a deviation along the exits through the 4th track at a reduced speed). The station handles the turnover of suburban trains coming from Moscow. Most of these trains run during rush hour, with the exception of one daytime pair. A dead end zone is used for turnover, located behind the crossing between main tracks I and II.

The bus stop is a 46-minute drive from Kursky Railway Station, a 20-minute drive from Tsaritsyno station (the nearest station with access to the metro), an 8-minute drive from Podolsk station. It belongs to the central tariff zone.

On November 21, 2019, train traffic opened through Shcherbinka station on the MCD-2 line of the Moscow Central Diameters, after which there were almost no flights from/to Shcherbinka station.

In 2020, it was announced^[3] about the reconstruction of the station, which began in 2022^[4][5].

On January 16, 2025, the reconstruction of the Moscow City railway station building was completed. The station is equipped with escalators, elevators, toilets and changing rooms.^[6][7].
