Moscow Railways resolves problem with commuter trains

Moscow Railroads, a branch of Russian Railways (RTS: RZHD), has restored commuter traffic on the Yaroslavl and Gorky lines, Interfax reports.

"Russian  Railways  has ensured the resumption of commuter traffic. It has assigned   additional   locomotive  crews  and  provided  traffic control," the company said on Monday.

"A   number   of   locomotive   drivers   from   the  Pushkino  and Zheleznodorozhny depots of Moscow Railways refused to work without prior notification  on  April  28  morning.  Thus,  commuter  traffic  on  the Yaroslavl  and  Gorky  lines  was  disrupted.  About  30 commuter trains departed with a delay," the company said.

More  than  one  million  people  take  commuter trains to and from Moscow each day.

There are nine railroad terminals in Moscow servicing eleven lines. The Yaroslavl  and  Gorky  lines  start  from the Kursky and Yaroslavsky railroad terminals.
