The Lyublinskaya Line is a line of the Moscow Metro. Opened in 1995, it is currently considered to be the newest one. Presently the line as exists as a semi-chordial radius, although it is in process of being extended through the centre. The line was plagued by constant financial shortages and many of its construction works remain derelict and abandoned.

[edit] Rolling stock
The line is served by the Pechatniki depot (#15). When it was opened, it received surplus 81-717/714 trains from other lines (original and .5 and .5M modifications). Since 1998, it slowly began receiving the new 81-720/721 "Yauza" trains; plans are to equip the line completely with these new trains, but with a very slow production rate, only five of its 30 seven-carriage trains are of that type.
[edit] Recent events and future plans
The line was begun back in the 1980s, but constant financial offsets made it the "unlucky" one.
[edit] Lyublinskiy Radius
Work on the southern three station extension began back in 1997, but since 2000 the construction sites of the stations Borisovo, Shipilovskaya, and Zyablikovo have been abandoned. Although presently, the continuously offset date stands at 2010, many believe such a prospect is very optimistic, which is partly why the planned extension is no longer shown on the metro maps.
[edit] City Centre
The northern extension through the city centre looks more optimistic, and recently the derelict construction sites have been brought back to life. Two stages will take place to complete the inner pass, and then work will begin on the Dmitrovskiy radius. Stations Sretenskiy Bulvar and Trubnaya will be opened in early 2007. Afterwards, Dostoevskaya and Marina Roshcha will follow in 2008. Dostoevskaya was planned to be a transfer to the ring station Suvorovskaya, which would have had to be built into the Koltsevsaya Line, however due to offsets this will not happen in 2008.
[edit] Dmitrovskiy Radius
From there the Dmitrov radius will begin with the following stations: Sheremetevskaya, Butyrskiy Khutor, Ostankino, Petrovosko-Razumovskaya (cross-platform transfer), Okruzhnaya, Likhobory (along with a new depot), and Seligerskaya. A very optimistic date of 2011 is given for this segment. From there another extension Yubileinaya and Degunino are planned to be induced by 2015. Afterwards, the line will be complete in light of current plans, although more extensions northwards to the Severnoe district may follow (although they may be in the form of light metro).
