AdmiralTeyskaya Station - The station is connected to the ground with two consecutive escalators. Since it is very difficult to build escalators longer than 125 metres (410 ft),[3] it was decided to build one long escalator (125 metres (410 ft)) to the intermediate level. From this level a shorter (25 metres (82 ft)) escalator leads to the station. The total depth of the station is 86 metres (282 ft) which makes it the deepest metro station in Saint Petersburg
