Chervonyi Khutir (Kyiv Metro)

Chervonyi Khutir (Ukrainian: Червоний хутiр) is the terminus station of the Kyiv Metro's Syretsko-Pecherska Line. It opened on 23 May 2008. The station's name arises from an old village "Chervonyi Khutir" that was subsequently absorbed into Kyiv city limits and is now an industrial neighbourhood. The station is located amidst a woodland and at first was unlikely have any passengers at all. However, there is currently a much greater need for the station because it is right next to the construction of Kyiv's third depot, Kharkivske, which has been a much needed acquisition to the line since the mid-1990s, yet due to financial difficulties caused by recessions, construction only began in 2004.

Chervonyi Khutir is also part of much larger plan to have the line snake around the south-eastern districts of Kyiv and then come back up north-westwards towards the new Darnytsia Railway Station and the Darnytsia metro station of the Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska Line. In the meantime, the surrounding area will be redeveloped and new housing massivs would justify the station.[1]

Chervonyi Khutir's layout is a pillar bi-span with side platforms, chosen out of simplicity and ease of construction. Its main theme would be a light tone and focused on the surrounding nature. The walls and central row of pillars are faced with bright beige and yellow marble and the ceiling with fiberglass.
