Moscow is building the Testovskaya suburban station on the future MCD-4 which will be the highest and the tallest terminal in the city. It will be built on one of the sections of the new connecting line between the Kievsky and Smolensky railway directions. The station will be located at over 15 meters in height and will be a part of a major transport hub in the Moscow centre, which will combine stations of the Moscow Central Circle (MCC), MCD-1, MCD-4 and the Moscow Metro Line 4.
The new station will be completed in compliance with Moscow Transport standards with passengers being able to use lifts, escalators, turnstiles and ticket offices. There are already two platforms at the Testovskaya suburban station of the future MCD-4 with a particular canopy. The station not only protects from precipitation and sunlight, but also preserves more natural light and creates a single domed space. In addition to convenient infrastructure, Testovskaya MCD-4 will have a unique observation platform with an urban panorama with high-rise buildings, transport infrastructure and views on the Moscow River.

With the opening of the new station Testovskaya MCD-4, passengers of the fourth diameter will have a modern, convenient suburban railway station with a high level passenger services and with interchanges to the metro, MCC and MCD-1.
