About the place

Paveletsky railway station anchors southern departures from the capital, operating as a primary transit junction behind an expanded historical facade.

Alexander Krasovsky designed the original terminal under the Ryazano–Uralskaya Railway Company to link Moscow to the southeastern network. The station originally carried the name Saratovsky before taking its current title from the settlement of Pavelets. Extensive structural expansion later rebuilt the halls while maintaining the historical silhouette.
