The starting point of the band's history was 2005. At that time Nikita was studying at the Dnipropetrovsk Conservatory of M. Glinka and playing in a band of his conservatory mates. Guys applied for the competition of young bands "Слухай Чернігівське" and as for the name of the band Nikita used the title of his childhood's favorite book "Пересадочная Станция" (originally "Way Station") by Clifford D. Simak. Participation in the contest had success : the band entered the top ten and the song "Зима" got into the "Слухай Чернігівське" collection released on CD by the local radio station. Later the name of the band was changed to "Way Station" like it is originally in the book.
