Leningradsky Railway Terminal, Moscow

 

On May 22, 2026, the renovated Leningradsky Railway Station was officially reopened. The opening ceremony was attended by Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin and Oleg Belozerov, CEO and Chairman of the Management Board of Russian Railways (RZD).

Leningradsky Railway Station is one of Moscow’s most important transport hubs and the primary rail gateway between Moscow and St. Petersburg. Serving tens of thousands of passengers daily, including users of the high-speed Sapsan service, long-distance trains, and commuter routes, the station ranks among the busiest railway terminals in Russia. Its high passenger throughput places significant demands on operational efficiency, passenger flow management, and security infrastructure.

"Together with Russian Railways (RZD), Moscow made the decision to gradually redevelop the entire Three Stations Square area, beginning with the oldest and most significant station — Leningradsky Railway Station, which had become physically and technologically outdated. We carried out a comprehensive reconstruction, transforming it into a modern transport hub with new services and a new level of comfort for both employees and, most importantly, passengers," said Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin.

As part of the large-scale renovation of Leningradsky Railway Station, which included the modernization of engineering systems, refurbishment of passenger halls and platforms, and optimization of passenger flow management, Infomatika equipped the station’s exit areas with M2030 smart turnstiles.

Before the implementation of the automated access control system, the station’s exit areas were not equipped with controlled passage solutions, and passenger flows were managed manually. During peak hours, congestion and queues frequently occurred, reducing the overall throughput of the station. The deployment of M2030 smart turnstiles enabled the creation of a controlled and seamless passenger passage system, improving passenger flow management, increasing operational efficiency, and enhancing the overall travel experience.

The M2030 smart turnstiles provide fast, safe, and convenient passage for all passenger categories, including travelers with luggage, families with children, and passengers with reduced mobility. An increased number of passage detection sensors enables precise tracking of passenger movement within the lane, allowing the system to account for luggage and prevent premature closing of the barriers.

"Today marks the opening of a completely transformed railway station. While the railway itself remains unchanged, the passenger experience has reached an entirely new level. Compared to just one year ago, the space available to passengers has increased threefold, and seating capacity has grown by 50 percent. More than 1,000 passengers can now comfortably access services and enjoy the station’s facilities simultaneously," said Oleg Belozerov, CEO and Chairman of the Management Board of Russian Railways (RZD).

Infomatika’s specialists delivered the project on a turnkey basis, covering the entire scope of work from equipment manufacturing and supply to installation, commissioning, and system deployment.

Project Scope:

- Manufacturing, supply, and installation of M2030 high-tech smart turnstiles — 19 pedestal units forming 15 passage lanes;
- Commissioning works
