History

In early 1900s, the city of Bucha began as a result of a railway stop needed along the Kyiv-Kovel railway line. The station was meant to serve economic purposes during peacetime, and military ones in case of war.[1]

On September 24 and 25, 2016, the city of Bucha celebrated its 115th anniversary. The city held festive events for this occasion, including some at this railway station.[2]

The station was reconstruction in 2001 to celebreate its 100-year anniversary since opening. Since reopening, the station building now houses administrative areas, along with waiting spaces and ticket offices. There are plans to expand the current building to improve the station's functioning.[3]
