Pilot transportation of goods, including grain, between Ukraine and Lithuania, bypassing Belarus, began to work and paid off. This was stated by the head of the Lithuanian Railways, Egidius Lazauskas, writes CFTS with reference to Rail Insider..

In the future, the regularity of flights will be determined by the need of companies for transportation and competition with other carriers..

" The question is, how much would it cost if there were much more such loads, and economies of scale worked. In any case, the pilot transport from Ukraine has paid off:

many lessons have been learned and decisions will be made on how to improve these services, because, in our opinion, there are very good prospects,” Lazauskas said..

He noted that it is planned to deliver trains with cargo of 1.5 thousand tons to Lithuania once a week, since the Lithuanian Railways have so far signed several contracts for the transportation of goods from Ukraine.
