Okruzhnaya, Railway station complex near Lokomotivny Lane, Moscow, Russia
Okruzhnaya is a railway complex in northern Moscow that combines three separate transport systems: the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya metro line, a suburban rail platform, and a station on the Moscow Central Circle. Each transport mode operates on its own level, allowing passengers to change between them without leaving the building.
The station began operations in 1911 as a suburban railway stop serving northern areas outside the city. A major rebuild in 2018 added metro and Moscow Central Circle connections, transforming it into a modern transport hub.
The station functions as a daily transport hub for residents of northern Moscow who need to cross different parts of the city. People pass through here as part of their regular routines, making it a meeting point for many commuters.
The station operates early in the morning until late evening, making it accessible for most daily travel needs. Take time to read signage when changing between the different transport levels to avoid confusion with directions.
The station links three independent transport networks through one building, which is uncommon for Moscow railway stations. This layout lets travelers move quickly between suburban trains, metro, and the Central Circle, cutting down wait times for longer commutes.
