Can anyone tell me where the Imperial Waiting Room was located at Vitebsk Railway station?  Is it within the main building or the small building to the right of the main station? It is my understanding that the Imperial Family had their own separate building to wait in.  Can you visit it?

Всё там же и стоит рядом с Витебским вокзалом.
All the same, and stands next to the Vitebsk Station.

Geglov3, Thank you very much for sharing the photograph of the Imperial Pavilion.

Looking forward to your book Kalafrana!  I am probably telling what you already know but just in case.........  The main line ran from Vitebsky Vokzal to Pavlovsk and further.  That occupies the present line which you mention.  There was also a main line to Gatchina and further.  There was a loop joining these two lines, from Aleksandrovsk on the Gatchina line to somewhere north of the present Platform 21 on the Pavlovsk line.  The Royal Station, the remains of which still stand, near Alexander Palace was on this loop.  I don't know whether the Royal Station was only used for official traffic or whether there was a regular service for visiting dignitaries, palace workers etc.  Nor do I know where your two gentlemen are coming from but if there was such a service and they were coming from the palace they would not have walked two kilometres down to the main line..... or at least I wouldn't!
