«No Electric Trains for 30 Minutes». Moscow Region Residents Complain of Mass Train Delays
Delays affected several major railway lines serving the Moscow Region.
Residents of the Moscow Region have complained about disruptions to commuter train services. According to them, trains are being delayed on three major routes at once: the Kazan, Gorky, and Yaroslavl directions.
Video footage shows crowded conditions at a station during the disruption.
«We’ve already been waiting almost 30 minutes. We can’t get to Moscow at all, on the Fryazevo–Moscow, Yaroslavl direction,» complains Irina.
«Also, on the Paveletsky direction towards Moscow, there hasn’t been a single electric train for 30 minutes,» writes Ekaterina.
At other stations, passengers were barely able to squeeze into the trains.
«If hell exists on earth, this is it: Reutov station, the train that left from Zheleznodorozhnaya at 08:00,» wrote Maria, who filmed a video of the departing Moscow Central Diameters (MCD) train.
The previous evening in the Kirov region, freight cars derailed, causing several trains to Moscow to be delayed.
