Suburban trains in Moscow depart from nine stations, each of which serves one or more destinations. Depending on the route and departure time, trains operate daily or only on certain days. On weekends and holidays, additional electric trains are usually provided. As a rule, trains begin their journey around 4.00 and end after midnight. The schedule of Moscow electric trains provides for the operation of luxury high-speed express trains along suburban routes.
Moscow-Belorusskaya ensures the movement of suburban electric trains running in the Belarusian direction. Electric trains in this direction make a stop at the stations: Vyazma, Gagarin, Odintsovo, Kubinka, Golitsyno, Zvenigorod, Borodino, Mozhaisk and others.

Information on the schedule of electric trains (suburban trains) at the Moscow station:
The current train schedule at the Moscow station contains only 2940 trains (suburban trains), which connect Moscow with such stations and settlements as Sheremetyevo Airport, Golitsyno, Lvovskaya, Zvenigorod, Kubinka 1. According to the schedule, the last train (suburban train) departs at 23:00 59 m to the destination Moscow-Yaroslavskaya. The nearest stations and stopping points are Okruzhnaya, Begovaya, Kuntsevo 1. For all routes through the above-mentioned settlements, complete information about the schedule is available - departure time, arrival time, routes and other useful information. When planning a trip, you should pay attention to the fact that most often electric trains at the Moscow station depart or arrive in the morning - 275 electric trains (commuter trains, diesel engines) in different directions, with such connections as Sheremetyevo Airport - Moscow-Belorusskaya, Moscow-Yaroslavskaya - Oseevskaya, Moscow- Savelovskaya - Iksha. The regularly updated schedule of electric trains (suburban trains) at the Moscow station is displayed on this page.
How many people travel daily from the Moscow region to Moscow to work and back? How many representatives of our society go to the countryside on weekends? You can be sure that any of these passengers has a train traffic diagram downloaded to their phone (tablet) or printed.
Demand for commuter trains
The popularity of this type of transport is explained by the fact that many residents of Moscow and the Moscow region cannot afford a car, or do not want to stand in traffic jams for hours, especially since they are only increasing every year. A few more obvious advantages of the electric train are strict adherence to the schedule; flights run regularly, with short intervals.
The train traffic pattern in Moscow is no less than the metro (which is one of the ten largest metros in the world). This fact is not at all surprising, because there are nine railway stations in our capital, and electric trains constantly depart from each of them.
Just in order to relieve passenger traffic, the Ministry of Transport compiled separate routes and distributed them between stations, introduced appropriate tariffs, and equipped them with all the necessary equipment.
Southern direction of electric trains
One of the most popular today is the Kursk direction. The train traffic pattern from this station covers many cities in the Moscow region, and the daily passenger flow is approximately 140,000 people.
The schedule here takes into account the busy morning and evening rush hours, adding even more flights during these periods. Trains depart and arrive so frequently that any passenger can find the most convenient option for himself. The station operates in multitasking mode around the clock. Not even ten minutes pass before a new flight appears at the station. The only break at the Kursk station, fifteen minutes long, is the moment between the arrival of the last train of the current day and the departure of the first in the next hour-long day.
This station is in demand not only among residents of the Moscow region who come to the city from the region on business, but also among Muscovites who find it more convenient to get to their office/factory/enterprise not by metro, but by a commuter train passing through many districts of Moscow.
It often happens that at one station it is impossible to board the train, huge groups of people push each other into the carriage, which is called “like sprats in a jar,” and at another station not a soul will board. This largely depends on the population of a particular town. The most popular points among passengers on the Kursk direction electric train route map are Kursky Station, Tsaritsyno, Tekstilshchiki, Podolsk. Of course, at these stations the timetable is prepared taking into account such high congestion, and trains stop more often. In addition to these stations, the train route runs through Butovo, Shcherbinka, Lvovskaya, Stolbovaya, Chekhov, Serpukhov, Yasnogorsk, Tarusskaya. In particular, you can easily get to Orel and Tula by express trains.
Some stations, for example, Stolbovaya, Moscow Tovarnaya Kurskaya, Kalanchevskaya, Tsaritsyno, Tekstilshchiki, are interchange stations to neighboring Russian Railways directions or metro stations.
Eastern direction of electric trains
Among residents of Moscow and the Moscow region, the Kazan direction electric train route is no less popular. Daily passenger traffic is approximately 330,000 people. And at the Kazansky station, of course, which is the most popular point in this direction, 230 electric trains arrive and depart every day, 50 of which are Sputnik express trains, to the Ramenskoye and Lyubertsy stations. The second busiest stop here is Vykhino.
The traffic pattern of electric trains in the Kazan direction, as well as in the Kursk direction, is characterized by a high intensity of flights arriving and departing from the terminal station every eight minutes. From here you can get to the following cities near Moscow: Lyubertsy, Kurovskoye, Yegoryevsk, Shatura, Ramenskoye, Zhukovsky, Bronnitsy, Voskresensk, Ozery, Lukhovitsy, Kolomna, Cherusti. You can take an express train to Ryazan.
Northeast direction of electric trains
Of course, when considering this issue, one cannot help but note the importance of the Yaroslavsky station in the movement of electric trains in Moscow and the Moscow region. It is located next to Kazansky and Leningradsky, on Komsomolskaya Square, called the “Square of Three Stations”. Here the passenger flow is approximately 450,000 people per day! This is many times more than on all other routes. The maximum number of people moving in the Yaroslavl direction daily makes their way to the final stop of the route - the Yaroslavl station. Ten tracks of which are dedicated specifically to commuter trains. Next in popularity is Mytishchi. Next stop in the city of Pushkino. The fourth place went to the Bolshevo platform, followed by the Podlipki-Dachnye, Losinoostrovskaya, and Perlovskaya stops.
From the Yaroslavsky station you can get to the Moscow region cities of Alexandrov, Mytishchi, Pushkino, Sofrino, Khotkovo, Sergiev Posad, Krasnoarmeysk, Korolev, Ivanteevka, Fryazino, Shchelkovo, Monino.
From the final stops, Kazansky and Leningradsky railway stations, it is convenient to switch to neighboring Russian Railways routes, and from Yaroslavskaya you will quickly find yourself at the Komsomolskaya station of the Moscow Metro.
How are things going with commuter trains in St. Petersburg?
There are not as many train stations in the Northern capital of Russia as in Moscow. There are only five of them: Moscow, Vitebsk, Finland and Baltic, Ladoga. At the same time, the traffic pattern of St. Petersburg electric trains, in its scale, practically does not differ from the Moscow one discussed above.
In total, the St. Petersburg schedule includes 702 flights, 250 of them run daily, and the rest - according to the schedule. The most popular requests on this topic in the Leningrad region are traffic diagrams for the Finlyandsky and Moskovsky trains.
Finlyandsky Station St. Petersburg
Located in the city center, at Lenin Square, building 6, it is an important link in the life of the city and is part of the Oktyabrskaya Railway. By the decision of the administration of the transport committee of St. Petersburg in 2010, Finlyandsky Station became the main transport hub, including all possible ground options for road and rail transport connections in the northwestern direction.
Passenger traffic here is approximately 36,000 people per day. At the moment, the station receives and dispatches only electric trains in the northwestern and northeastern directions: Vyborgskoye, Irinovskoye, Sosnovskoye. From here, you can take regular flights to the following cities in the Leningrad region: Zelenogorsk, Beloostrov, Vyborg (including by express train), Roshchino, Sovetsky, Kirillovskoye, Sestroretsk, Kannelyarvi.
The only long-distance express route is the Allegro train St. Petersburg-Helsinki.
Train traffic diagram at Moskovsky Station
This station is located in the very heart of St. Petersburg on Nevsky Prospekt (address: Vosstaniya Square, building 2) and has its own unique history. Being an exact double of the Leningradsky Station in Moscow, it allows Muscovites who arrive here to feel at home in the first few minutes. Both buildings were built according to the designs of the court architects of Nicholas I - architects Ton and Zhelezevich. Currently, the passenger terminal of the Moscow railway station is called Main. Sometimes you can find its old name - Oktyabrsky.
The important directions of trains at this station are eastern, Moscow and southern. Passenger traffic is approximately 27,000 people per day. More than 90 commuter trains run here every day: St. Petersburg - Tikhvin, Malaya Vishera, Tosno, Chudovo, Mga, Volkhovstroy, Budogoshch, Nevdubstroy, Lyuban, Pupyshevo, and there are frequent express trains to Veliky Novgorod.
A lot of water has passed under the bridge since I showed the previous (3) version of the Moscow railway hub suburban transport scheme. But the time has come to show the updated one, since there is no limit to perfection and “everything can be improved ad infinitum” (C) A. Raikin. In the interval between the release of this scheme and the previous one, another event occurred - the Center for the Promotion of Computer Science took my scheme as a basis and, having reworked it, released its own. The event is truly significant, since previously there were schemes of one direction, and now on trains people can learn about the transport accessibility of the entire region. Therefore, the fact that they took the diagram and printed it is very good! But at the time of its release, I published a critical post related to the fact that the Center for Coordination and Processing and Processing interrupted the cooperation that had begun. The very subject of criticism was precisely the non-partnership approach, when they stop communicating with you and do not explain further steps. Many, especially the media, took this as a reason to find a sensation, coming up with income claims, etc., on my behalf, so I closed this post almost immediately in order to avoid further artificial discord.
Since the mood was spoiled, quite quickly, already last May, the Center for Transport and Communications made a second version, simultaneously releasing an English (it seems to me that this is a first for suburban traffic in Moscow) and a Russian version (). The station icons have been updated (in my opinion, not for the better) (the square is generally a controversial decision, and overloaded with small details it is generally difficult to read; and stopping points in the form of breaks in the line generally make it look like something under construction or conditional, which is always and are indicated by a dotted line), trains (they have become too small, and it’s also funny that express trains are drawn with a platform, but ordinary trains are not; this was my decision in the absence of a better option, but now color coding would completely solve it, the platform is clearly superfluous, or its everyone needs to draw), lines (various strokes have appeared, indicating the routes of REX and Aeroexpress, but in fact, in my opinion, they absolutely confuse people), the metro map and Podbelskogo Street, which is schematically located to the west of the Yaroslavl direction, Medvedkovo in Pushkino and etc. - this is just a nail in the boot. After the update, our schemes remained similar only in terms of color, and the general principle of the arrangement of directions. This is a completely autonomous project that I will be watching with interest.
Once again I want to say that before, now and in the future my project is non-profit. The diagram can be taken and used (like all my photographs) subject to CC BY-ND. If you want to change something for yourself, you are welcome. As well as I welcome any ideas.
Starting the project three years ago, I understood that it was not very clear for residents and guests of the Moscow region how and where they could get by rail. I set the task to reflect on one sheet all the directions of the Moscow Railway, as well as the travel time to the end points and the end stations of electric trains. The successful and attractive arrangement of elements on the diagram makes it popular and, most importantly, easy to use. Therefore, I hope that my scheme will continue to be like this. Now I'm working on placing a bus service on it, this will be in version 5. In the meantime, a little about evolution
The first version collected many valuable comments and quite soon version 2 appeared.
February 2011
Third version.
December 2011
What has changed:
- the general arrangement of directions has changed, I tried to make them less crowded, now the lines are not only horizontal and vertical, but also diagonal
- large rivers were added (what a pity there is no regular river service on them), the Moscow Railway project and the contours of the metro scheme
- added a diagram of the coverage area of the "Greater Moscow" subscription, as well as the time spent driving along sections of roads on a diagram close to the map. This gives a more realistic idea of the scale of displacement.
- changed the pictograms of the final train stops, making them in the form of signs. Thus, by being next to one name, they make it possible to clearly indicate which one they belong to. To the already existing REX, Aeroexpress, Sputnik, regular train and ring train, a diesel train was added.
- changed the approach to displaying transfer stations, now it is always one circle, colored with an outline of two colors.
What I didn't change:
- division into op. and stations. Many spears have been broken on this topic. Indeed, the passenger generally does not care what status the commuter train stop is located according to the railway classification. But still, a station is almost always a sure sign that the train stops here more often. This means that when choosing from two neighboring ones, there is a chance to choose the one from which it is faster to leave. When returning from a ski trip on a frosty evening, such a choice can be very useful;)
As usual, I accept constructive criticism.
The railway network of the Russian Federation is quite extensive. It consists of several sections of highways, which are owned by Russian Railways OJSC. Moreover, all regional roads are formally branches of JSC Russian Railways, while the company itself acts as a monopolist in Russia:
The road runs through the territory of the Irkutsk and Chita regions and the republics of Buryatia and Sakha-Yakutia. The length of the highway is 3848 km.
The road runs along two parallel latitudinal directions: Moscow - Nizhny Novgorod - Kirov and Moscow - Kazan - Yekaterinburg, which are connected by roads. The road connects the Central, North-Western and Northern regions of Russia with the Volga region, the Urals and Siberia. The Gorky road borders on the following railways: Moscow (Petushki and Cherusti stations), Sverdlovsk (Cheptsa, Druzhinino stations), Northern (Novki, Susolovka, Svecha stations), Kuibyshevskaya (Krasny Uzel, Tsilna stations). The total developed length of the road is 12066 km. The length of the main railway tracks is 7987 km.
The railway passes through the territory of five constituent entities of the Russian Federation - Primorsky and Khabarovsk territories, Amur and Jewish Autonomous Regions, and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Its service area also includes the Magadan, Sakhalin, Kamchatka regions and Chukotka - over 40% of the territory of Russia. Operating length - 5986 km.
The Trans-Baikal Railway runs in the south-east of Russia, through the territory of the Trans-Baikal Territory and the Amur Region, is located next to the border of the People's Republic of China and has the only direct land border railway crossing in Russia through the Zabaikalsk station. Operating length - 3370 km.
The West Siberian Railway passes through the territory of Omsk, Novosibirsk, Kemerovo, Tomsk regions, Altai Territory and partly the Republic of Kazakhstan. The developed length of the main tracks of the highway is 8986 km, the operational length is 5602 km.
The road operates in special geopolitical conditions. The shortest route from the center of Russia to the countries of Western Europe runs through Kaliningrad. The road does not have common borders with Russian Railways. The total length of the highway is 1,100 km, the length of the main routes is over 900 kilometers.
The highway passes through four large regions - Kemerovo region, Khakassia, Irkutsk region and Krasnoyarsk region, connecting the Trans-Siberian and South Siberian highways. Figuratively speaking, it is a bridge between the European part of Russia, its Far East and Asia. The operational length of the Krasnoyarsk road is 3160 km. The total length is 4544 kilometers.
The railway stretches from the Moscow region to the Ural foothills, connecting the center and west of the Russian Federation with the large socio-economic regions of the Urals, Siberia, Kazakhstan and Central Asia. The road consists of two almost parallel lines running from West to East: Kustarevka - Inza - Ulyanovsk and Ryazhsk - Samara, which connect at the Chishmy station, forming a double-track line ending at the spurs of the Ural Mountains. Two other lines of the road Ruzaevka - Penza - Rtishchevo and Ulyanovsk - Syzran - Saratov run from North to South.
Within its current boundaries, the Moscow Railway was organized in 1959 as a result of the full and partial unification of six roads: Moscow-Ryazan, Moscow-Kursk-Donbass, Moscow-Okruzhnaya, Moscow-Kyiv, Kalinin and Northern. The deployed length is 13,000 km, the operational length is 8,800 km.
The Oktyabrskaya Mainline passes through the territory of eleven constituent entities of the Russian Federation - Leningrad, Pskov, Novgorod, Vologda, Murmansk, Tver, Moscow, Yaroslavl regions, the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg and the Republic of Karelia. Operating length - 10143 km.
The Volga (Ryazan-Ural) railway is located in the southeast of the European part of Russia in the region of the Lower Volga and the middle reaches of the Don and covers the territories of the Saratov, Volgograd and Astrakhan regions, as well as several stations located within the Rostov, Samara regions and Kazakhstan. The length of the road is 4191 km.
The highway connects the European and Asian parts of Russia, stretches for one and a half thousand kilometers from west to east and crosses the Arctic Circle in a northern direction. Passes through Nizhny Tagil, Perm, Yekaterinburg, Surgut, Tyumen. It also serves the Khanty-Mansi and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrugs. Operating length - 7154 km. The deployed length is 13,853 km.
The highway originates in the center of Russia and extends far to the north of the country. Most of the Northern Mainline is operated in the harsh conditions of the Far North and the Arctic. The unfolded length is 8500 kilometers.
The road’s service area includes 11 constituent entities of the Russian Federation of the Southern Federal District; it directly borders Ukraine, Georgia and Azerbaijan. The operational length of the highway is 6358 km.
The South-Eastern Railway occupies a central position in the railway network and connects the eastern regions and the Urals with the Center, as well as the regions of the North, North-West and Center with the North Caucasus, Ukraine and the Transcaucasian states. The South-Eastern Road borders on the Moscow, Kuibyshev, North Caucasus, and Southern Railways of Ukraine. Operating length - 4189 km.
The South Ural Railway is located in two parts of the world - at the junction of Europe and Asia. It includes Chelyabinsk, Kurgan, Orenburg and Kartalinsk branches. Several mainline railway lines pass through the territory of Kazakhstan. The South-Eastern Road borders on the Moscow, Kuibyshev, North Caucasus, and Southern Railways of Ukraine. Operating length - 4189 km. The developed length is over 8000 km.
Residents of Moscow and the Moscow region will have the right to free travel on commuter trains.
Pensioners Moscow will be able to travel for free on all commuter trains - including fast and high-speed commuter trains: Sputniks, REXs, suburban Lastochkas (highlighted on the website in blue, not to be confused with long-distance Lastochkas, highlighted in red - they do not provide benefits) and other express trains.
Pensioners Moscow region will be able to travel only on suburban trains numbered 6000. These include regular electric trains, the Standard Plus trains of the TsPPK and the Comfort trains of the Moscow-Tver PPK.
The benefit will apply to routes within the territory of Moscow, the Moscow region and adjacent regions, where direct trains run from Moscow (Moscow region). For example, on the Leningrad direction, free tickets can be issued no further than the Tver and Konakovo stations.
To be able to issue a cash-free ticket, you need to do it once (before the first use on suburban railway transport) activate social card. According to preliminary information, this will be possible to do this at ticket offices from August 1 at all main stations and some transfer stations in Moscow, as well as at a number of large stations in the Moscow region - Mytishchi, Sergiev Posad, Zheleznodorozhnaya, Domodedovo, Lyubertsy, Podolsk, Nara, Odintsovo, Pavshino, Lobnya. In addition, it will be possible to activate (recode) the card at all stations and stopping points on the Moscow-Tver, Konakovo section (where there is a ticket office), as well as at ticket printing machines (BPA) of the Moscow-Tver PPK. There is no need to reissue the card.
If you don’t have a social card, you need to contact the MFC - they will issue you a certificate and a temporary card, upon presentation of which and your passport you can also issue a cash-free ticket. At the TsPPK training ground until August 9, it is possible to issue a ticket without a certificate (providing only a temporary card and passport are presented).
From mid-August it will be possible to activate the card at other stations.
After the card is activated, it will be possible to issue one-time non-cash tickets in the “there” or “round-trip” direction using the social card at the ticket office or bank account.
Please note that the right of free travel does not give the right to travel without a ticket. Before each trip, you must obtain a cash-free ticket from the ticket office or BPA. taking into account the category of the train in which you plan to travel (a ticket on a regular train does not give the right to travel on a fast train, but a ticket on a fast train also gives the right to travel on a regular train).
Beneficiaries in Moscow can usually do this on the day of the trip or in advance (up to 10 days), and beneficiaries in the Moscow region can do this only on the day of the trip.
If the ticket office is closed (at the time of departure of the train) or is absent, or there is no PPA, then you must obtain a coupon from the coupon-printing terminal confirming the fact of boarding at this stopping point (only at the Central PPK training ground). And only if there is no such terminal at the station, you can board without a ticket and issue a free ride directly on the train or at the destination station.
In other cases, if there is no ticket when checking on the train or at the destination station, a service fee of 100 to 200 rubles may be charged to the passenger.
