The surviving passengers were told that just before the clash in carriages the flashing light bulbs, and then they felt a sharp deceleration follows from the judgment of the court.
From the first days of the investigation made it a priority version that the accident was caused by irregularities in the construction of turnouts. The quality of the work had to watch the acting master Yuri Gordov . According to the prosecution, on July 7, he saw the violation, but did not it correct, and allow the movement of trains.
According to the case materials, the company « Spetstehrekonstruktsiya » , led by Kruglov , built translation from Pokrovskaya Kalinin – Solntsevskaya line. A construction crews ran employees of underground Bashkatov and Trofimov, who worked for the company Kruglov in combination – without labor contracts.

Bashkatov and Trofimov in his testimony that they gave immediately after the tragedy, told us that work on the sidebar arrows began on the night of July 6. They did not deny that laid turnout violations: only the right wit arrows fastened properly, and the left left in the retracted position, strapped on a 3 mm wire anchorages.
The railway technical examination, which was conducted on behalf of the investigation in December 2014, confirmed this version.

The left wit arrows in the accident was in the right, the retracted position, experts point out.
The wife Gordov Isabella Yudina, who worked for eight years crawler tracks, in turn, told RBC that Metro discuss another version – a train derailment could cause high speed trains. At this time in the tunnel blasting work and they could affect the safety of traffic.
