  4. There are two maps that represent the modifications that happened at the Pacific Railway Station. The first one illustrates 1998 whereas the second one shows our time.

    Initially, in 1998, there were four kinds of platforms that occupied the north-eastern part of the territory. A large building with toilets in the center of the map also can be seen. Additionally, in front of the platforms, there is a service area consisting of three constructions: cafe, shop and ticket office.

    Turning to the next map, we may observe considerable changes in the infrastructure of the railway station. The number of platforms increased to seven, which is much more convenient. They are located on both east and west sides of the map. Number of toilets was reduced to zero whilst two shops and a restaurant were built on this site. The location of the cafe and the ticket office remains the same, adding that the size of the latter has grown. Finally, one more construction was built in the southwest which is a supermarket.
