On the square off Ulitsa Zemlyanoy Val, behind the modern Atrium Shopping Centre, is Kursky Railway Station. The first station here was opened in 1896 and was then known as the Kursko-Nizhegorodsky Railway Station as the station served (and still serves) trains to Kursk and to Nizhny Novgorod. In addition trains to Ukraine and in particular the Crimea leave from here. Trains from here also head to the south of Russia. Kursky Railway Station also incorporates two suburban stations: in the direction of Kursk (to Tula) and in the direction of Nizhny Novgorod (to Vladimir).
