Trains to Moscow Station will stop arriving from August 18 due to the construction of the Moscow Central Circle. Commuter trains on the Moscow direction will be rerouted to Ryabitskoye and Ladoga Station, according to the transit authority.
Consensus
- Commuter trains on the Moscow direction in Saint Petersburg will no longer arrive at Moscow Station starting August 18.
- The rerouting is due to construction of the high-speed rail (VSM) terminal at Volkovskaya station.
- Trains will be redirected to Rybatskoe and Ladozhskiy railway station.
- The change is temporary and will last until construction of the new terminal at Volkovskaya is completed.
- The new terminal is part of the Moscow–Saint Petersburg high-speed rail project.
- The high-speed rail project was ordered by Vladimir Putin in 2019 and is expected to be completed by 2030 (or 2028 according to one source).
