Kashirskaya, Metro station complex in Southern Moscow, Russia
Kashirskaya is a metro station in the Moskvorechye-Saburovo District of Moscow, built with two island platforms and four tracks to serve multiple lines. Passengers can change lines without leaving the platform area, as the tracks are arranged side by side.
The station opened on August 11, 1969, as part of an extension of the Kakhovsky line, and served the southern part of Moscow for decades. It reopened in March 2023 after a full renovation that renewed the infrastructure from the ground up.
The station takes its name from Kashirskoye Highway, the road that leads south toward the city of Kashira. This naming pattern is common in the Moscow Metro, where stations are often named after the street or district above them.
The station connects to several bus routes that reach the surrounding neighborhoods in southern Moscow. Transferring between lines is straightforward here, as both platforms sit on the same level and the path between them is short.
After the Bolshaya Koltsevaya line was split, Kashirskaya became a terminus for one of the resulting lines, even though it was originally built as a through station. This means trains reverse here, which can sometimes affect waiting times on busy days.
