Russian Railways Public Company is considering hiring foreign companies as consultants for the reconstruction of some railway stations in Russia, the company’s Railway Stations Directorate reports.

The carrier’s experts are now elaborating the idea and are discussing it with the interested foreign companies. The task is to convert Russia’s railway stations into transportation and connecting hubs, RIA Novosti reports.

For one, experts from AREP (Sociйtй Nationale des Chemins de fer Franсais/SNCF’s daughter enterprise) might be involved in the reconstruction of Krasnodar Territory-based railway stations Volgograd 1, Krasnodar 1, Lazarevskaya, Tuapse, and Hosta.

British businesses might become consultants for the modernization of railway stations in Loo (Krasnodar Territory), Grozny, Tver, Saint Petersburg (Finlyandsky, Baltiysky, Vitebsky, and Ladozhsky railway stations) and Bryansk-Orlovsky railway station. The Belgian Euro Immo Star might be contracted to restore Moskovsky railway station in Saint Petersburg, while the German Deutsche Bahn might work on railway stations Nizhniy Novgorod, Perm II, Pyt-Yakh (Khanty-Mansiysky Autonomous Region), and Chita II.
