Posted by stephenk on Mon May 29 16:41:57 2006, in response to Re: Lexington Avenue Line TPH, posted by AMoreira81 on Mon May 29 16:22:04 2006. Moscow Metro termini usually have one arrival track, and one departure track, and an island platform. Beyond the station are two reversing sidings in between the two main running lines, although only one is usually needed for reversals. Trains are double ended, and thus trains can be reversed in approx 80secs. The trains often only dwell for 20-30secs in the arrival platform as they do not have to be checked that they are empty as thoroughly as in NYC and London.There are a few exceptions. A few termini have just one reversing siding. Two termini have trains reversing in two platform tracks instead of the sidings. One of these termini handles 34tph with 120m trains. The station has side platforms, and the crossover is unusually nearer the penultimate station that the terminus (although both station are very close together). Trains only dwell for 45secs at this terminus. |
