[edit] Rolling Stock
The line is served by the Novogireevo depot (№ 12). 25 81-717/714 seven-carriage trains are assigned to it since the line was opened in 1979.
[edit] Recent developments and Future plans
The line currently exists as a single radius, but for a long time an extension through the city centre and then on westwards has been planned.
[edit] City Centre
The current plan is to extend from Tretyakovskaya with a station in Moscow's Kadashevskaya mesopotamia, then onto Ostozhenka which would be the transfer to the Kropotkinskaya station of the Sokolnicheskaya Line. The line will turn northwards towards the Smolenskaya station of the Filyovskaya Line and the Smolenskaya station of the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line uniting them in single transfer point. Afterwards it will join with the the Ring, which will require to build a station between Krasnopresnenskaya and Kievskaya called Rossiyskaya.
[edit] Stroginsky radius
After its pass through the Moscow's centre, the line will continue into the Moscow-business centre with a station Delovoi Tsentr as a future transfer with the Filyovskaya Line's mini-metro and the prospective Solntsevo-Mytishchinskaya chordial line. The line will continue with the stations Filyovskaya Poima, Filyovsky Bulvar, Narodnoe Opolchenie and Zhivopisnaya before docking with the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line at Strogino. After that the line will annex the stations that would be opened as part of the latter line in 2011: Myakinino, Volokolamskaya and Mitino. The line would be renamed properly after that point - Perovsko-Stroginskaya.
[edit] Perovsky radius
As the radius is completed, apart from a few exits to the surface at Aviamotornaya, the only extension that will take place is to Novokosino (alternative name Gorodetskaya) in 2010.
