Savyolovsky station (Russian:Савёловский вокза́л,Savyolovsky vokzal), alternatively spelledSavyolovskiy,Savelovsky orSavelovskiy, is one of the ten mainrailway stations in theMaryina roshcha District ofMoscow. It serves suburban directions north of the city. Its initial name wasButyrsky vokzal (the station itself is still calledMoscow Butyrskaya) because of Butyrskaya Zastava Square, which also gave name to the nearbyButyrka prison.
The station was built from 1897 to 1902, along a 130-kilometre (81 mi) long railway to the towns ofKashin,Kalyazin,Uglich, andRybinsk. The modern name of the station originates from the name of a villageSavyolovo (now a district of the town ofKimry) situated along the line.
As the line was built by a private company, the place of the rail station was initially built outside Moscow next to the outpost ofButyrka. Initially known as Butyrsky station, the station lacks the ornateness and grandeur of Moscow's other stations and consists of a central two-story section flanked by two single story wings. The station was inaugurated in a silver-trowel ceremony in spring 1902, an event which had direct consequences for the nearby peaceful rural areas as it dramatically increased investment and led to those areas being engulfed by the city.
When the station marked its 90th anniversary, it was internally redeveloped, expanded and restored adding a second floor and improving the quality of platforms. It was the last station to be connected to theMoscow Metro, with theSavyolovskaya metro station (opened in 1988).
As of 2011, the station operated only suburbancommuter trains (elektrichka trains). The principal destinations areDolgoprudny,Lobnya,Iksha,Yakhroma,Dmitrov,Taldom,Kimry (Savyolovo) andDubna. There are express trains toDubna, which also have stops atDmitrov andBolshaya Volga. While most trains, arriving from the north, terminate there, some trains proceed to theBelorussky railway station and in the western direction. The long-distance trains, which previously departed from the station, were moved to the Belorussky station.
From November 2004 to June 2007, an express train ran from the Savyolovsky station toLobnya[1] (about 30 min) that connected with buses or taxis for the 7 km trip to the two airport terminals atSheremetyevo (about 15 min).
On 10 July 2008, a direct service from Savyolovsky station to a new railway station nearSheremetyevo Terminal 2 was inaugurated. Journeys take 35 minutes, and tickets cost 300roubles (750roubles for business class).[2] The service is operated byAeroexpress, a subsidiary ofRussian Railways.[3]
Starting from 30 May 2010, the stop on Savyolovsky station on lineBelorussky railway station -Sheremetyevo was canceled.
There is a bus terminal, in front of the station, servingDmitrov,Dubna,Iksha,Kalyazin,Kashin,Kimry,Laryovo,Taldom and several other destinations north of Moscow.
