Rolling stock
The line is served by the Nadzladevi depot (№1), currentely 19 four carriage trains are assigned to it. A mix of Е, Еzh3, Еma-502, Еm-508T as well as the newer 81-714.5, 81-717.5. All of the trains are undergoing major repairs and there is also a large carriage reserve park.Recent developments and future plans
Due to the fact that some of the stations are already four decades into exploitation as well as neglect caused by the lack of funding during the 1990s. Most of them require a major facelift and some severe repairs on hydroisolation and structure. Recentely there has been progress in both directions. In terms of extensions then there are some planned from both ends of the line, but so far such proposals are yet to be confirmed, however do the improved financial situation perspective may become realised much sooner.
