The station also has a locomotive and wagon depot .
The lobby of the Vokzalnaya metro station is located in the same building as the Suburban Station. Near the South Station is located Kiev Electric Car Repair Plant (KEVRZ) and the Museum of the rolling stock of the South-Western Railway.
In 1894, the tram line of route No. 5 was built to the station, and on June 2, 1936 - a trolleybus line .
In 1996, the tram line along Komintern Street was dismantled; currently, the station is served by a line along Starovokzalnaya street (tram routes No. 1, 3, 15, 18).

History
Opened in 1870 . Kiev railway station was built in 1868-1870 to service two railway lines - the Kiev-Balta and Kursk-Kiev .
The second by 1868 was brought to the left bank of the Dnieper , but for another two years, the construction of a bridge across the Dnieper continued under the supervision of engineer Amanda Struve . [four]
The first train from Kursk to the station arrived on February 18 ( March 2 ), 1870 .
The first railway station in Kiev was designed by architect N. Vishnevsky in 1868-1870, and was a two-story yellow brick building in the style of Old English Gothic [5] . Its length - 133 meters - was slightly smaller than the size of the passenger platform, which stretched 144 meters. Special, luxuriously equipped rooms were intended for the “highest persons”, and dirty and cramped waiting rooms received passengers of the third, lower class.
On August 11 (23), 1877, a severe fire occurred in the building of the Kiev railway station. The construction was restored, but due to the expansion of railway communication, it was decided to reconstruct both the station and the entire station, which was supposed to improve the quality of passenger service and expand the capabilities of the entire railway junction.
By 1899, the South-West Railway Department developed a project for the comprehensive reconstruction of the Kiev junction. So, the Kiev-Tovarny station was moved to a considerable distance from the Kiev-Passenger station for that time, having built a new building there in the style of technical modernity . And on the territory of the Kiev-Passenger station, the main railway workshops, a train depot and a turntable were left. It was also planned to erect a grandiose construction of a new station complex.
The project of the South-West Railway Administration (the author is the St. Petersburg architect V. A. Shchuko ) envisaged the construction of two stations connected together in the form of the letter “N” (the idea was realized only in 2001 with the construction of the South Station).
The main building of the complex had to be decided in Romanesque forms . It was planned that long-distance trains of all four directions and a suburban eastern direction are accepted and sent from tracks parallel to the long axis of the station building. Commuter trains of the western direction are from the dead ends located to the west of the station.
In the area of the current end of the light rail on Starovokzalnaya Street, in 1908 a temporary single-story wooden passenger pavilion was built [6] (which, as a result, lasted nearly a quarter of a century).
By 1913, the old station building was demolished, and in 1914 the foundation was laid for the new station building. The implementation of the project by V. Schuko was stopped by the First World War and the October Socialist Revolution .
The idea of constructing the station’s capital building was returned in the mid -1920s .
The new building of the railway station in the Ukrainian Baroque style with constructivism elements was built in 1928 - 1932 according to the project developed by professor of architecture A.M. Verbitsky and architect P.F. Alyoshin . The senior construction technician was I. Yu. Karakis, who studied at that time and later became famous later [7] [8] .
During the Great Patriotic War, the building of the Kiev station was partially destroyed [9] . In 1945 - 1949, according to a project developed under the direction of architect G.F. Domashenko , the station was restored [10] .
In 1954–1955, the building of the Prigorodnoy Train Station was built [11] , underground tunnels were built that connected Vokzalnaya Square with the station and platforms [12] .
In 1967-1969 , a canopy was erected over the first platform, as well as a pedestrian gallery up to the 10th platform, 24 meters wide (instead of two galleries [13] , which reached only the 4th platform).
In 1978 - 1980, before the Olympics-80 , the main lobby of the Central Station was reconstructed.
In 2001 , at the initiative of the then Minister of Transport George Kirpa , the station was completely reconstructed, the South Station was built. The platforms were rebuilt, the Central Station building was reconstructed (the Lenin statue and Soviet symbols were removed from the main lobby) and Vokzalnaya Square, underground pedestrian tunnels, an expanded pedestrian gallery over the tracks connected the buildings of the Central and Southern railway stations. 175 days elapsed from the beginning of design to commissioning [14] .
In 2011, a museum of historical rolling stock was opened at the station.
