Metro "Myakinino" - the most non-standard station in Moscow

Metro "Myakinino" - a relatively young station of the metropolitan metro system. However, this fact did not affect its popularity. Why? To answer this question, it is worth looking at the map of Moscow. At the top are important facilities in the life of the Russian metropolis. The world famous Crocus Expo exhibition center can be reached in this way.

Metro station Myakinino. general description

On the Arbat-Pokrovskaya line there is an interesting station. It is between Strogino and Volokolamskaya. In general, the metro scheme "Myakinino" clearly shows that the station is built outside the administrative capital boundaries. By the way, it should be noted that it is considered the first station with such a far-away location. It lies along the territory of the Myakininskaya floodplain, which belongs to Krasnogorsk. Very close to the station Exhibition Center "Crocus Expo", not far from it and MKAD.

The station is named after the small village Myakinino, which is in the Kuntsevo-Western metropolitan administrative district. This small town is located just outside the Moscow Ring Road. Initially, it was planned to name the station "Oboronnaya", "Kazakhstan", even the option "Crocus City" was considered, but stopped after all on "Myakinino".

The original project assumed the presence of three lobbies. While it is possible to use only the southern one. The operation of the northern and central vestibules is planned in the near future. When the planned project is completed, two outputs from the station to the sidewalk and the same number to the underground passages will appear at once . Exit will also be carried out in above-ground crossings, which are connected to exhibition pavilions.

Metro station Myakinino. History of construction

As the experts say, initially it was not planned to build another station between Strogino and Volokolamskaya. The existing traffic intersection was considered quite sufficient at that time, but due to the very rapid growth of the district infrastructure, the presence of another station became necessary. While "Myakinino" did not function, no one really knew if it would work at all. Such information was not even two hours before the opening of the branch.

It is noteworthy that on December 26, 2009, the train, whose passengers were journalists and officials, did not even slow down in Myakinino. And at 11:25 on the same day the station became accessible to passengers. Thanks to the opening of the new station, Moscow became the second city after St. Petersburg, where the metro stretches beyond the boundaries of the administrative territory.

Metro station Myakinino. Typical features of the station

"Myakinino" - ground station - is part of the ground parking. It includes coastal platforms and the only lobby connecting platforms. On the central part of the station passes a bridge, which provides information exchange between the platforms.

The walls of Myakinino are faced with granite, the lamps are mounted. At first, a completely different design of the station was planned. Fixtures were supposed with light reflectors, and walls - finished with marble and glass. But due to limitations in financing, it was necessary to change such a design project.

The station "Myakinino" is considered one of the most unattractive and dark in the capital. How to get to the metro station "Myakinino", every local resident knows, but some people prefer to avoid such a journey, using land transport. Why? The fact is that dim lighting and gray granite create an unattractive picture. "Station-freak" - so nicknamed "Myakinino" architects for unpleasant design.

But there are positive moments. The advantage of the station is its special ceiling, capable of absorbing noise. This makes it possible to assign "Myakinino" to the quietest metro stations.

The station is located near the Government House in the Moscow region. Nearby is the Crocus Expo. Operation of the station "Myakinino" allows a large number of visitors to visit the international exhibition center, called the "Crocus Expo".
