We are back at Moscow Kiev Station (Kievsky Station) Москва Киевский, which we used last time. This time we will be giving you information about long-distance trains from here. The station is roughly at the 8 o'clock position on the Moscow Metro circle line.
From this station, you can also take the Aeroexpress to Vnukovo Airport (for timetables, please see the main page. There is a timetable at the bottom. If you buy a ticket at the station, the fare is 470R).
For information on public transport in the city after arriving at Kiev Station, please see here.
First, an introduction to the station.
It is connected to the Kievskaya station on the metro circle line.
The entrance on the side (north entrance? Uniqlo side) has a slightly Islamic-style gate.
The station consists of (1) a long-distance train platform with a covered platform in the middle and an uncovered platform on the south side, and (2) a suburban train platform on the north side. The Aeroexpress also boards and alights at the suburban train platform.

Commuter line (direct from Kievsky only)
The blue lines are for routes with more than 20 trains a day, the yellow lines are for routes with more than 10 trains a day, and the red lines are for routes with fewer than that number of trains a day. The black marks on the blue lines indicate routes with more than 30 trains a day, so you can be confident that you'll be able to get a train. These numbers do not include the number of long-distance trains (including express trains) listed above. If you plan carefully, you should be able to get a train to Maloyaroslavets. Incidentally, the journey time to Kaluga by local train is just over 3 hours, and by express train it is around 2 hours and 40 minutes.
〇Fares for suburban trains to major stations
To Kaluga: 415R60K (480R if you use the express)
To Maloyaroslavets: 275R20K (365R if you use the express)
164R to Nara (290R with the Aeroexpress)
470R to Vnukovo Airport with the Aeroexpress
32R to Solnechnaya
The old cities of Maloyaroslavets and Kaluga, and the Pahnyuchy Monastery in Borovsk are probably the main attractions.
