Rostokino (Russian: Ростокино) is a station on the Moscow Central Circle of the Moscow Metro that opened in September 2016.

Name

The station name, which was originally planned to be Yaroslavskaya, was changed in August 2016 to Rostokino for the Rostokino District.[1]

Location and exits

The platform is located in the Yaroslavsky and Rostokino districts, near Mira Prospect, between the Botanichesky Sad passenger stop and the Belokamennaya station, east of the main track development of the Rostokino station. It offers a direct, underground interchange to the Rostokino platform of the Yaroslavsky direction of the Moscow Central Circle and, together with it, forms part of a transport interchange hub.

Free transfer is available to and from the Vystavochny Tsentr monorail station and the VDNKh metro station.

On September 6, 2019, a southern vestibule of the rebuilt Rostokino stop opened near the station's vestibule, enabling a covered, above-ground transfer; the reverse transfer involves exiting under a rain shelter.[2]
