Moscow Kursky railway station

January 01, 1970

For other uses, see Kursky (disambiguation).

Kursky railway terminal (Russian: Ку́рский вокза́л, Kursky vokzal), also known as Moscow Kurskaya railway station (Russian: Москва́-Ку́рская, Moskva-Kurskaya), is one of the ten railway terminals in Moscow. It was built in 1896, and renovated (without major design changes) in 1938, then a large glass facade and modern roof was added in a 1972 expansion.[1] In 2008, there were plans to completely rebuild or refurbish the station.[2] Kursky station, unlike most Moscow terminals, operates two almost opposite railroad directions from Moscow: one toward Kursk, Russia, after which the station is named, that stretches on into Ukraine, and another toward Nizhniy Novgorod, which is less used by long-distance trains, and is mostly for the high-speed service to Nizhniy. Kursky is connected to the Lengradskiy Line from the other side, enabling long-distance trains from St. Petersburg going on to other cities to pass through Russia's capital. Because of its three directions, its adjacency to the city center, and its connection to three major metro lines, Kursky is one of Moscow's busiest railway stations.

Future development plan edit

Platform height rules under the newest GOST standards, DC commuter EMUs dedicated platforms in Moscow urban area must be 1,100 mm (43.3 in), while the platforms for the long-distance trains must be either 200 mm (7.9 in) and 550 mm (21.7 in). Moscow Kurskaya station platforms should get reconstruction soon.

Proposed platform layout:

  • Platform 1: Height of 200 mm (7.9 in), Length of 800 metres (2,600 ft)
  • Platform 1&2: Height of 200 mm (7.9 in), Length of 800 metres (2,600 ft), very narrow
  • Platform 3&4: Height of 550 mm (21.7 in), Length of 800 metres (2,600 ft)
  • Platform 5&6: Height of 1,100 mm (43.3 in), Length of 400 metres (1,300 ft)
  • Platform 7&8: Height of 1,100 mm (43.3 in), Length of 400 metres (1,300 ft)
