Kharkiv-Balashovsky Station

Kharkiv-Balashovsky is a passenger railway station belonging to the Southern Railway. It was built in 1895. It was the beginning of the Kharkiv-Balashov railway, thanks to which the station received its current name. At the beginning of the XX century, passenger trains departed from here to Kazan and Lugansk. Currently, passenger traffic operates in the western direction: Zolochev, Lyubotin, Gultsy and Merchik.

Particularly noteworthy is the magnificent station building with stucco decorations of columns and ceilings, as well as a magnificent rotunda on the roof. It was built in 1953, and now its territory is greatly expanded. The introduction of additional areas is provided by the reconstruction of side pavilions.

In 2010, the facade of the station was reconstructed, as well as the building of the post of electric centralization of shooters. The apron and island passenger platforms were also reconstructed, paving slabs were laid on them, sheds and benches were installed. The “highlight” of the Balashov station was an Internet cafe located on the second floor.
