Trains departing from Nizhny Novgorod and Kazan will reach the Ladogsky Station in St. Petersburg.
St. Petersburg, Russia — Travellers planning to travel to Nizhny Novgorod or Kazan from St. Petersburg during August-September 2025 may encounter changes to their usual train services due to station reconstruction.
Currently, there is no information regarding alternative stations for long-distance trains like those to Nizhny Novgorod and Kazan in St. Petersburg during this period. Search results mostly discuss the Saint Petersburg Metro expansion plans, unrelated railway projects, and other construction news, but do not mention specific train station closures or substitutions.
However, in the past, major Russian cities have used alternative stations when a primary long-distance station undergoes reconstruction. For St. Petersburg, the main railway stations serving trains to Nizhny Novgorod and Kazan are generally Moskovsky Railway Station. If Moskovsky Station or others are under reconstruction, alternative arrangements might be moved to adjacent stations like Ladozhsky or Vitebsky, but this depends on official railway announcements from Russian Railways closer to that period.
To ensure accurate and up-to-date information on alternative stations for Nizhny Novgorod and Kazan trains in St. Petersburg during August-September 2025, it is recommended to:
- Check announcements from Russian Railways (RZD) and official St. Petersburg transport authorities.
- Monitor updates from the Moscow–Saint Petersburg high-speed railway project if it affects long-distance services.
- Consult the stations' official websites or customer service as the travel date approaches.
At present, no specific alternative stations have been confirmed or published in publicly available sources. However, it has been reported that the destination for trains from Nizhny Novgorod and Kazan will be Ladoga Station instead of Moscow Station in St. Petersburg during August-September 2025.
