The Moskovsko-Petrogradskaya Line (Russian: Московско-Петроградская), is the second oldest line of the Saint Petersburg Metro, opened in 1961. It featured the first cross-platform transfer in the USSR. It was also the first metro line in Saint Petersburg to feature a unique platform type that soon became dubbed as "Horizontal Lift". The line cuts Saint Petersburg on a north-south axis and is generally coloured blue on Metro maps.

[edit] Rolling stock
The line is served by the Moskovskoe (№ 3) depot, and has 56 six-carriage trains assigned to it. Most of these are of type 81-714/717, but some are the .5 standard.
[edit] Recent developments and future plans
A one-station north extension of the line to Parnasskaya is planned to be completed in 2006. The ultimate execution of those plans is complicated by the leakage problems with the tunnes that lead it.
