* The Apakov depot services the
south-western part from the Varshavsky lane - Simferopolsky boulevard in
the east to the University station in the west and Boulevard lane at
the center. This network is connected only by the four-way Dubininskaya
and Kozhevnicheskaaya street. A second connection by Vostochnaya
(Eastern) street was withdrawn in 1987 due to fire at Dinamo plant and
has not been recovered, remains lost (Avtozavodsky bridge) at 1992. The
network may be serviced anyway by another depot (now route 35, 38).

properties of trams. New tram models have been developed for the Moscow
network despite the lack of expansion.
