Donetsk Railway station is a railway station in Donetsk, Ukraine. It lies between Rutchenkove railway station to the south, and a junction towards Avdiivka on the northwest and Yasynuvata on the northeast, via Donetsk-Pivnichnyi railway station.
In World War II the station building was completely destroyed. In 1951, the architect Vorontsov [ who? ] designed a new station, with a central hub and spurs. The lobby in the centre is key to its design. The station square was built in the 1960s.
The station houses a museum of the history of the Donetsk Railway, opened on 4 August 2000, on its 130th anniversary. Outside there is a statue to St. Nicholas, consecrated by the Russian Orthodox Church in late 2011. To accommodate the European Football Championship 2012 the station building was reconstructed and expanded, in a more modern style.
On 21 May 2012 a new building was commissioned. the New complex consists of main, commuter and transit platforms, two shopping malls, two concourses and a new bus station. The pedestrian overbridge was redesigned to be indoors with escalators. The whole of the station was redesigned with 15.8 km (9.8 mi) of new track, 83 new switches, and 417 electrical junctions, with 21 new signals. [2]
There are around 200 lights, 25 km (16 mi) of signaling cable, 12 km (7.5 mi) of overhead line, upgrades to the two existing electrical substations and installation of two new ones.
In 2014 the station building was damaged during the War in Donbass. [3] [ unreliable source? ]
