The station served as the terminus of the line until 2017. Services initially ran westward to Park Pobedy, but from 2017, the functioning line extended onward to Ramenki. This station closed on 24 February 2018 and reopened on 12 December 2020. While it was closed, trains on that line bypassed Delovoy Tsentr and ran directly to Shelepikha and then continued along the Bolshaya Koltsevaya line.[1]

The original route of the Solntsevskaya branch of the line through Delovoy Tsentr reflected the fact that the branch does not have an active rail yard. Trains would shift from Delovoy Tsentr to the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line and onward to the Izmailovo yard. As the Bolshaya Koltsevaya line uses the Izmailovo yard, trains operate along the new route to Petrovsky Park and onward to the yard.[2]
