Yesterday in Moscow took place the solemn opening of the first five stations of the Big ring line of the subway (officially) and the second five stations of the Big ring (really). The history of this building is so confusing that even I, with my knowledge of the subway managed to make a stir in the ranks of LJ users recent entry about the station Business centre.
The new metro line opened five stations at once, four of which are interchange stations and only one allowed to cover new passengers and increase the area of walking distance of the capital's subway. Lucky fans of CSKA in different sports and visitors to the shopping center fleet. It is about this station that we will talk today.
CSKA station opened in the Park "Khodynka field", near Khodynka Boulevard, 1st And 2nd Khodynka driveways. The project was called Khodynka field. In some period of time, this metro line could even get the name khodynskaya, but the plans and the name changed.
Its current name it received at the request of the sports society of CSKA, whose facilities are located in the area. The desire to name the station in honor of the "army" of the club appeared from the officials, the owner of CSKA football club and some fans after the opening in the capital Spartak stations on the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line and the locomotive at the Moscow Central ring. Officially, even a letter was sent with a request to assign the name, but the figures in it were ridiculous: 8 thousand 72 people.
First of all we are talking about the football club CSKA. Recently opened the stadium WEB arena, which is home to the red and blue. At the official opening of the metro station club management expressed the hope that the opening of the station will increase the attendance of the football club. About the convenience of speech can not go. From the exit of the metro station to the nearest point of the stadium 18 minutes on foot (Yandex data). From Sokol metro station 20 minutes, from the station MCK Sorge only 8 minutes. But, as we all know, the metro station is many times more prestigious than the city train station. Toponymy is suffering, but she's not used to.
The history of this area will remember 3 main facts. Historians first and foremost, remember Dave in the ice Palace during the celebration of the coronation of Nicholas II. All aviation enthusiasts, aircraft passengers and aerospace industry employees will remind you that this is where the first Moscow airport was located, and around the most famous airline companies that bear the names of Sergei Ilyushin and Pavel Sukhoi still operate. Sports fans will talk about being a slave to the Palace of sports Megasport and the nearby USK CSKA and Athletics arena. I have already mentioned the football stadium. The entrance to the rest of the complex structures of CSKA remains from the metro station Airport. There much closer and feel more comfortable.
The station is decorated with 4 bronze sculptures created by the Studio of military artists named after MB Grekov. Each of them has its own prototype, but in life they will remember PL sports: football player, skier, basketball player and hockey player.
All figures are set on high pedestal, "ascending" athletes above ordinary people. And despite a very good figure, she doesn't catch the eye and get lost at certain angles with a dark background. In any case, it is an interesting decision.
The construction of the station column three-span. The depth of 28 meters. Classic marble and granite, complemented by aluminum panels, are used in the design of the Moscow metro.
One exit leads to the shopping center Aviapark, the second exit is located near the house 7 on Khodynsky Boulevard.
It eat the station was selected by the metro guide for special procedures with the invitation of the national media, so there was installed a modern navigation for all elements, except the tunnel walls. In the center of the station is a huge scheme.
Another interesting element is the list of stations, the movement to which is carried out on each of the paths. These schemes for the first time have a backlight on the column, which highlights them at the entrance to the station.
Curiously, and not without errors. Exhibition station suddenly changed the color of the line, and the designation of transplants from Khoroshevskaya looks very controversial.
I really wanted to make my report not only interesting, but also useful. However, there have been no changes in the movement of public transport. Near the metro station CSKA is only a bus 818 in the direction of the metro station Dinamo. All other routes are located at a distance and it is inconvenient to use them. Changes in the route traffic should be combined with the opening of travel on Khodynsky Boulevard. This street was built many years ago, but still not fully open. The district does not have large difficulties in movement. There were even rumors that the residents of the area against the opening of the street. Even so. nothing prevents its use exclusively for public transport.
In addition to the statues, the CSKA station has an unusual lobby design. To get acquainted with it, we will go towards the Fleet. The attentive may notice that these escalators don't have the wide distance between them. Under the old rules and the old escalators here has got to only 3 of the escalator, and there are four of them.
For the first time in the Moscow metro escalators are located similar to the shopping center in several levels. Previously, when transplanting or leave several stations deep-laid that you can use two escalators and a corridor between them. Here, three escalators are located in a single glass.
Intermediate platforms between them stretch a little passenger traffic that will be actual for sporting events. At first glance it's a little weird. I am more than confident that such a decision will not please some.
However, there is one thing that can break their discontent about other discontent of other categories of passengers.
I'm talking about the Elevator! Remember the depth of the station? 28 meters! For comparison, the depth of the stations in the city center ranges mainly from 30 to 40 meters. For comparison, the barricade is 30 metres away, China town is 29 meters, the University is 27 meters. The solution with multi-tiered escalator allows you to put the Elevator in a single space. Who will be more: supporters of comfortable elevators or opponents of a multi-tier escalator?
It's nice to see the lobby at the station above ground.
The output side of the Fleet and a flat Liner.
The construction site and the Park on the field are not finished yet, so you should come back here in the summer.
And for visitors to the Aviapark has become a little more convenient. Don't need any more buses from the metro stations. Entrance to the shopping center from the metro is located near Auchan and is on the 1st floor of the Parking lot.
That's all for today. CSKA station turned out good and memorable. I understand that my words may be a certain amount of irony and some discontent, but we are all different, to have different opinions.
And did you like this station?what's good? What's wrong? Maybe we should Supplement the text with any more explanations?
