3 Introduction Introduction chapter chapter 1 1 Dear Friends,

Metro system is a synergy of labour and science, complicated engineering design and strong discipline. Moscow metro, one of the best transport systems of the world is the appropriate combination of these factors.

In 2007 we accomplished good results. Within several months at the beginning of the year we opened four new stations for the public use. And in August we opened one more, Trubnaya station which at once became one of the most frequently used interchange stations. In December we opened Sretensky Bulvar station and before the New Year the fi rst train ran from the new Kuntsevskaya station on Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line to the long awaited Strogino station. At present the route length of Moscow metro is about three hundred kms and the number of stations is nearly two hundred. We expect to continue our development at a good pace. Due to fi nancial and administrative support of the Government of Moscow in the new century metro construction has been progressing fast and with good quality results.

We have done much to upgrade our rolling stock and other technical devices. During the passed year our depots received several batches of new cars to replace the out-of-date stock. At the same time we refurbished the previous generations stock to fi t the up-to-date standards.

And we certaily have been doing our routine every day work due to which our system has been functioning for 73 years.

Looking forward I would like to express my gratitude to our metro staff because without them one of the best systems of the world would have been inanimate. Owing to their devotion and skills our system is the most beautiful, reliable and fast. There is very much work ahead and I am sure we shall cope with it together.

It was supposed that the new interchange station would unload the crowded circle line stations on Liublinsko-Dmitrovskaya and Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya lines. And it really did. At once it substantially unloaded the Circle line interchange stations. Besides it shortened travel time of those using Liublinsko-Dmitrovskaya and Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya lines.
