History

On Tovarnaya line

The station was constructed as a branch of the Primorsky Rail Terminal to Flugov Post line in May, 1904 by engineer Pyotr Alexandrovich Avenarius.^[2]

Catastrophic flooding on 23 September 1924 closed the Primorsky Rail Terminal. Another branch to the Finlyandsky Rail Terminal was constructed in 1925^[3] and 1927.^[4] By 1926, the line to Sestroretsk had been laid through Lanskaya station.^[5] In 1929, the line was reconstructed. The station Flyugov post was no longer required and was dismantled.^[6]

On Vyborg line

Flyugov Post was also the name of a station on the line between Finlyandsky Rail Terminal and Lanskaya, constructed in 1925 and taken out of service in 1934.
