A stopping point for electric trains of the southern direction ( Rostov , Aleksandrov I and back to Yaroslavl). North of Polyanka, the road bifurcates, the eastern branch leads to Yaroslavl-Moskovsky , the northern one leads to Kotorosl . Therefore, some of the trains go to Yaroslavl-Moscow , and part directly goes through Kotorosl to Yaroslavl-Glavny . The station has a train station with a ticket office and a pedestrian bridge.

South of Polyanka station, but away from the main line, is Novoyaroslavskaya station; one of the routes leading from Polyanka to Novoyaroslavskaya crosses the main line to Moscow via an overpass (located south of the automobile overpass).

Near the station is the final stop of bus number 2, as well as a number of minibuses.

Polyanka station plays a very important role in the city’s travel facilities. There are ten tracks at the station, and it happens that they are all busy, except for two workers, who must be constantly free. Its creation in 1951 was associated with the planned construction of a refinery and the need for redistribution of goods. But even before the organization of the sorting station, this detachment performed its role. During World War II, at a junction in the vicinity of the village of Polyanka, the 288th Dnovskaya Infantry Division, which was formed near Yaroslavl, was loaded into wagons for dispatch to the front. Immediately after the war, a narrow-gauge railway was built nearby (on the Perekop side) for the export of peat bogs (pieces of wet peat), which the Germans captured in the fields before Zabelitsy for the boiler houses of Red Perekop . The name of the station was given by the village of Polyanka . It has not been preserved, but Neftestroy old-timers remember several private wooden houses opposite the station from the village of Neftestroy . The village became part of the city limits in 1961, also giving the name Bolshaya Polyanka Street in 1968. The name reflects the natural appearance of the area. Moreover, in these parts glades tend to quickly overgrow with forest. However, this did not occur in this case, since these clearings were located on peatlands unfavorable for woody vegetation. The continued existence of a monotonous landscape gave the name to the settlement. Note that at one time it was called the village of Starye Polyany , as New appeared (apparently, with the creation of the station). The construction in this area in the 60s - 70s of modern brick houses formed a street, the name of which was a continuation of the local toponymy and assigned to it in 1968. We also add that the fields (clearings) have existed for a really long time and for a very long time. It is known that in this area on the fields in the 18th century the canvases of the Yaroslavl Big Manufactory were bleached, which, incidentally, was the name of the settlement Zabelitsa , which is nearby.
