After the latest Russian shelling of railway infrastructure in Ukraine, some passenger trains continue to operate with significant delays. Despite damage to the tracks and the need for additional stops to evacuate passengers, long-distance train services between regions of the country have been maintained. This is reported by Ukrzaliznytsia.

Which trains are delayed the most on June 15

According to the carrier, the largest deviations from the schedule have been recorded on routes connecting Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Odesa, and other major cities.

As of the morning of June 15, the largest delays affect:

  • No. 53/54 Odesa – Dnipro – over 3 hours 50 minutes;

  • No. 39/40 Zaporizhzhia – Solotvyno – about 3 hours 40 minutes;

  • No. 75/76 Kryvyi Rih – Kyiv – over 3 hours 30 minutes;

  • No. 21/22 Kharkiv – Lviv – over 3 hours 30 minutes;

  • No. 65/66 Kyiv – Sumy – over 3 hours 30 minutes;

  • No. 45/46 Kharkiv – Uzhhorod – over 3 hours 30 minutes;

  • No. 21/22 Lviv – Kharkiv – about 3 hours 15 minutes;

  • No. 7/8 Odesa – Kharkiv – about 3 hours.

Ukrzaliznytsia emphasizes that the stated times are approximate and may change depending on the situation on the routes.

Why there are train delays

The cause of the delays is damage to the railway infrastructure due to Russian attacks, as well as the need for additional operations to ensure passenger safety.

To minimize the consequences, railway workers are using reserve locomotives, adjusting routes, and deploying additional technical resources. This allows them to maintain train movement even on damaged routes.

Despite the difficult situation, connections to Dnipro, Kharkiv, Kyiv, and other major cities remain available.

Ukrzaliznytsia continues to restore infrastructure

Specialists continue to work on eliminating the effects of the attacks and restoring damaged sections of tracks and contact networks.

Passengers are advised to regularly check the current status of their trains and closely monitor announcements at stations and on trains, as the timetable may change throughout the day.

It should be noted that Ukrzaliznytsia will switch to a renewed summer schedule starting June 28, which includes significant changes to the train schedule. In particular, railway workers have added 12 new routes, expedited three trains, and extended four routes to the mountains.
