Krylatskoye

Krylatskoye

Krylatskoye ( _ru. Крылатское) is the station of the Moscow Metro's Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line. Before 2008 it was the terminal station of Filyovskaya Line. It is a shallow-level, vault-type station with a unique asymmetrical design. The curved ceiling rests on a white marble wall on one side of the platform, but on the other it reaches all the way down to the tracks. Wedge-shaped niches containing light fixtures run transversely across the ceiling, with the wide ends on the side with the wall. This has the effect of making one side of the platform brighter than the other. The decorative theme of the station is "gymnastics and sport."

The layout of the station is also unusual. At most terminal stations the tracks extend beyond the station where the trains can return on the opposite track. Arriving passengers exit the train on one side of the station, and departing passengers board it on the other side. At Krylatskoe, however, the tracks dead-end just beyond the end of the platform, meaning trains must enter and leave the station on the same track. This is made possible by a crossover at the southern end of the station which allows trains leaving the station on either track to switch to the correct inbound track before proceeding. It also lets incoming trains arrive on alternate tracks, so passengers can board a train on either side of the station.

Krylatskoe was designed by N.I. Shumakov, G.S. Mun, and A.M. Mosichuk and opened in 1989.
