History

The first wooden station building was constructed in 1869[1] by architect Wolmar Westling.[3][4] The first train has solemnly proceeded through it on July 3 [O.S. June 22] 1869.[5] It has been located a little in the heart of building and before it there was a place for transport. The facilities is located to the address 3, Serdobolskaya street. Through movement on all extent of a line between two capitals was opened personally by emperor Alexander II September 12 [O.S. August 30] 1870.[6]

The station building was rebuilt in stone in 1910 by architect Bruno Granholm as a four-storeyed building, which was designed in the rational branch of the “new style” of architecture at the beginning of the 20th century; an architectural style also known as a Romantic nationalism. The annexe leant to a high railway embankment, it looks extremely ascetical. The window openings are whimsically scattered on the exterior surface of the walls, and reflect the internal structure of the building.[7]

The station during the Soviet period

The Saint Petersburg Finlyandsky-Vyborg line and Saint Petersburg Finlyandsky-Beloostrov through Sestroretsk line continued be worked by steam power after the revolution up to World War II. The first work on electrification at this site began in 1950.[8]

In the early 1950s, the Lanskaya electric substation was built behind the station. Electrification of the railway began in the direction of Leningrad to Zelenogorsk in 1951. (now it is a part of Saint Petersburg Finlyandsky-Vyborg line) At station new platforms have been constructed and the length of trains has increased.[2] The track in the direction of Finlyandsky Rail Terminal and Udelnaya station has also been electrified.

On 4 August, 1951 at 1 hour and thirty minutes after midnight the electric power was switched on to the network of the first electrified line in the Karelian Isthmus area between Leningrad and Zelenogorsk. At 1 hour 50 minutes a trial trip of the first electric train set off en route in the direction of Arsenyev N. A. The first passengers travelled on the electric-train during the day, conducted by train driver-instructor Romanov A. N. Regular services also started on the same day.[8]

In the 1952, the Lansky-Sestroretsk-Beloostrov line (now it is named Saint Petersburg Finlyandsky-Beloostrov through Sestroretsk line) was electrified.[2] On the day of 1 June 1952 the first trial of an electric train went through Lanskaya and Sestroretsk to Beloostrov, and on the same day, from the morning onwards regular services began.[8]

The time of electrification of the line connecting Lanskaya to Кushelevka is not known, but as of 2000 it too was electrified, as well as all tracks at the station.

Probably, in 1951 at station there was a railway failure.[9] The probability of this event is indirectly confirmed by the law edition the same year.[10]

Station at the time of new Russia

The station underwent major repairs in 2003. Work was done on building of station and on a platform. The enormous wood furnace which was in a corner of a waiting hall for almost a century was dismantled at this time.[11]
