Talk:Kyiv-Pasazhyrskyi railway station

Untitled
The following passage is either false or needs rewriting:


 * The station was built in 1927-32 period

The station? Or the old (main} building? Cause the station itself was definitely established in the late 19th century. To the best of my knowledge, the present suburb vokzal was the original one.

Also, we need a clear distiction between K.-Pas. station and its particular buildings. Somebody please develop vokzal. Ukrained 21:59, 5 January 2006 (UTC) There is nothing to develop regarding vokzal. It is the neutral Russian word meaning "station," be it a bus station, or train station, or passenger boat station. There is no reason for this Russian word to be in this article, none. Mare Nostrum 21:37, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Difference between Central and South Stations, major transformation not addressed
In Kiev, taxis refer to the Central Station and the Southern Station as different locations, even though under the large works there from when?, the later 1990s?, the two stations were united into one complex. Something needs to be written about this because it isn't picked up in the piece here really at all, and the difference has some validity and is in common usage. Need to research a bit more and think about what exactly to do -- maybe not too much, but something to deal with potential confusion, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mare Nostrum (talk • contribs) 18:10, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Okay, so upon reflection, this article is really messy. There is a Central Station and a South Station (and also a third, co-located Suburban Station, and while Central and Southern are physically united (something like a shopping center and a subway station might be united), they are different things and it won't do to call the Central Station, "Kiev Passazhirskii." That's internal railroad jargon, and you might as well call Grand Central Station in New York "New York Passenger Terminal".  And some railroad insiders might call it that, but that does not mean it is Grand Central's accepted name. So this article needs editing even to be basically accurate, including the incorrect photo captions.

Some wiseacre put a tag "dubious" in my correct characterization that there is a Central Station and a co-located Southern Station. There is nothing remotely dubious about this; it is plain fact. If you have (false) evidence supposedly indicating otherwise, why not cite the misleading account and allow yourself to get shot down? I am removing the scurrilous tag "dubious" as this is the complete truth. Removing "discuss" too, as I have now discussed: this is wrong information which will needlessly confuse the reader while adding nothing.

The extraneous sentence below should be removed
"Practically, such installations in post-Soviet countries are widely known as railroad vokzals, which first of all means the building(s) and services immediately serving passengers for various types of transport." That adds nothing. Bus stations are also called vokzals. Needs to go. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mare Nostrum (talk • contribs) 09:14, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
