The Sloviansk railway station (Ukrainian: Станція Слов'янськ) is the main railway station in the Ukrainian city of Sloviansk. It first opened in 1869, and is currently operated by Donets Railway.

History

In late 1869, the station was a part of the railway project connecting the city of Kursk with the Sea of Azov.

At the time, there were other stations in the city that were also commonly used, including Sloviansk-Vitka [uk] and Sloviansk-Kurort [uk].

Destinations

The station has 3 immediate rail destination cities: Lozova, Lyman, and Horlivka.

In 2017, Ukrainian Railways added an electrified rail line from this station towards Pokrovsk.[1]
