Recent reports from the Moscow metro system indicate temporary adjustments to the Big Circle Line, also known as line 11. The disruption was flagged by the metropolitan Department of Transportation and Road Transport Infrastructure Development through its official telegram channel. The notice confirms that the change is only a temporary measure and is intended to manage a specific safety concern on the line. The full details of the incident, including the exact location and the circumstances surrounding it, have not been released publicly at this time.
The release specifies that train intervals on the counterclockwise track of the Big Circle Line have been temporarily lengthened. This adjustment is being applied to ensure the safety and smooth operation of services while the issue is assessed and resolved. The transport authorities emphasize that the change is not permanent and is linked to a particular incident that required immediate attention.
Shortly after the initial bulletin, the ministry updated the situation via its Telegram channel, stating that service on the Big Circle Line is currently back within the scheduled timetable. The second post arrived roughly twelve minutes after the first and served to reassure passengers that normal operations were resuming in line with the official schedule, with the advisory still in place until further notice.
In another event nearby, a diesel locomotive at a railway crossing near Domodedovo experienced a collision with a truck. The impact caused damage to both vehicles and resulted in a temporary disruption to traffic flow along the affected corridor. Railway authorities reported a delay to train movements on the section for about a quarter of an hour as crews conducted the necessary inspections and repairs to ensure continued safety for passengers and cargo.
Earlier communications referenced a separate incident on the Moscow Center Diameters network, colloquially known as MCD-3, describing a technical fault rather than a safety incident on that line. The exact nature of the fault and its effects on service were not fully disclosed in the update, and officials indicated that work was underway to restore normal operations while monitoring for any residual impacts on scheduling.
