The free tram from Ladozhskaya derailed on the morning of March 6 – March 6, 2023

The first weekday with the closed Ladozhskaya metro station was no longer without excesses. Several carriages reached only Novocherkasskaya, and not Alexander Nevsky Square.

Several passengers told Fontanka on March 6 that they were traveling by tram at about 7:30 and 7:42 in the morning. The driver was allegedly informed that the terminal is now not “Alexander Nevsky Square”, but “Novocherkasskaya”. According to Fontanka, the reason was the derailment of the car in the part of the route, which already belongs to the Central District, that is, after the bridge. According to readers, the shuttle only reached Novocherkasskaya with several stops in 20 minutes, some believe that it is “quicker on foot”.
