The concept of "station" appeared a couple of centuries ago. The name is associated with interesting historical information about which you will read in this article.
Sometimes schoolchildren or those who study the Russian language are asked at home or in a lesson to parse the meaning of the word “station”, and also are asked to make simple sentences.
Value
A station is a building that relates to public transport, that is, a place where passengers are served:
- ticket selling,
- provision of waiting places,
- implementation of embarkation and disembarkation of passengers.
We are talking about such public transport as:
- a train,
- bus,
- water transport.
As a rule, there are train stations not only in megacities, but also in provincial cities.
Historical information
The meaning of the word “station” in Russia has been known since 1837, when the Tsarskoye Selo railway and a building for passenger service were built. Then the first steam locomotive with several wagons was launched. But people were afraid to board the train. It was decided by the railway staff to arrange a concert with live music. We invited the best musicians of the city of St. Petersburg.
The purpose of the concert is to amuse people and help overcome fear. Almost immediately, the railway building was named "vocal hall", then the phrase was reduced to "station".
We make offers
Let's come up with a few sentences with the word "train station". To begin with, we define several goals for these phrases. Let's say:
- To leave Moscow to St. Petersburg, you need to buy a train ticket and arrive at the Leningradsky railway station on the appointed day.
- At the station, while waiting for the train, you can relax and have a coffee.
- The train arrives at the terminal station "Vitebsky Station".
At the stations themselves you can often hear this word. Many modern buildings are comfortable for passengers: there is Wi-Fi, a public toilet, a cafe, rooms for mother and child.
