[1] The metro station is part of a multi-modal transfer hub, which also consists of the mainline suburban railway (Kazanskoye direction).

Originally, the station (as well as the line) was called Zhdanovskaya (Russian: Ждановская) after Soviet revolutionary and politician Andrei Zhdanov.

As a result, Vykhino became the busiest and most crowded station of the metro system, due to its position at the edge of Moscow, near many highly populated areas in the hinterland.

The stairwells from the subways were covered with separate pavilions where turnstiles were inserted, and the concrete floor was repaved with stone.

Thus the centre-bound metro platform was nearly trebled in area (accounting for the dismantled ticket offices as well), and safety walls were installed on the railway side.

Behind the station is a surface cross junction used for reversal and the tracks lead on to the Vykhino depot.
