Four regional electric trains have been added to run daily with two trips in each direction between Kyiv and Korosten. The stops have been organized based on passenger demand in the Ukrzaliznytsia app. This information was reported by Ukrzaliznytsia.

The first train from Korosten departs at 05:07 and arrives in Kyiv at 07:42. In the opposite direction, the morning train leaves the capital at 09:20.
The schedule for the four regional trains is as follows:

The trains will stop at stations with the highest passenger traffic, including Chopovychi, Shchebzavod, Vorzel, and Lisova Bucha.
Connections between Kyiv and Zhytomyr regions strengthened with two more trips
In addition, two suburban trains have been launched on this route between Malyn and Kyiv, one in each direction. This expands the connections not only for passengers from Korosten but also for residents of other settlements along the route.
The electric trains underwent major modernization at Ukrzaliznytsia's facilities. The company reported that this is already the fourth case this year where updated trains are experimentally equipped with air conditioning systems.
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the 54th majorly modernized electric train has already been launched. Tickets for the new routes are available in the Ukrzaliznytsia app.
Reminder, Ukrzaliznytsia transported over one million passengers in two weeks.
