The first central diameter, Belorussko-Savelovsky or MCD-1, runs for 52 kilometres between Odintsovo and Lobnya. The second diameter, Kursko-Rizhsky or MCD-2, connects Nakhabino with Podolsk 80 kilometres away.

He was accompanied by Russian Railways CEO Oleg Belozerov Belozerov Oleg Belozerov OlegGeneral Director of Russian Railways , Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin Sobyanin Sergei Sobyanin SergeiMoscow Mayor , Moscow Region Governor Andrei Vorobyov Vorobyov Andrei Vorobyov AndreiGovernor of Moscow Region and Transport Minister Yevgeny Ditrikh Ditrikh Yevgeny Ditrikh YevgenyGeneral Director of the State Transport Leasing Company .

Unlike the old suburban lines, the new railway routes run across Moscow without being connected to specific railway stations. The first two diameters, which have been launched today, have 57 stations altogether, 19 of which are connected to metro lines, the Moscow Central Circle (MCC) and radial railway lines.

In all, there will be five central diameters. MCD-3 will connect Zelenograd with Ramenskoye, MCD-4 will run from Aprelevka to Zheleznodorozhny, and MCD-5 will go from Pushkino to Domodedovo.

The Moscow Central Diameters are a joint project of the Transport Ministry, the Moscow Government, the Moscow Region Government and Russian Railways (RZD) designed to improve the transport accessibility for the residents of Moscow and the Moscow Region and relieve infrastructure congestion.
