Road to railway station
It is very easy to get to railway stations. The exit from the subway station "Vokzalnaya" will lead you to Privokzalnaya Square: to the Suburban and Central railway stations. To get to the Southern station, use the moving staircase to get to the 1st floor of the central Station building and walk straight to the end of the gallery.
Services
The information boards at the stations announce the time of arrival and departure of trains, the route, the platform and train numbers. At each platform there is also a tableau displaying information about the train, which shortly arrives at this line. An announcer informs you about the arrival and departure of trains in Ukrainian, Russian and English. If you have arrived beforehand, better leave your luggage in the cloakroom. Do not be scared by announcements about change of shifts or lunch breaks: you will get your things when you come for them. At your services are a post office, public telephones, the Internet, snack bar, cafe and restaurant and several waiting rooms. In the small shops selling press and souvenirs you can buy a fresh newspaper, a detective story or some trifles.
