After the massive Russian attack, trains from the central part of Ukraine, Zaporozhye and the Dnepropetrovsk region are most behind schedule - two flights from Krivoy Rog are delayed by 9 hours 18 minutes, and a number of other trains are late by four to six hours. The movement of passenger trains in Kyiv did not have to be stopped, the capital's stations were not damaged, and Ukrzaliznytsia promises to transport passengers who do not make it to their flight due to an air raid warning by another train using the same ticket.. The company's press service reported this. According to the information, the monitoring center intensively monitored the air situation and adjusted the operation of the railway in accordance with the level of threat. At the same time, the consequences of the attack and security restrictions affected the traffic schedule. The largest delays already exceed nine hours, with a number of flights still delayed by four to six hours. Delays are also observed on the Kyiv City Express metropolitan train - trains continue to run along the full circle, but deviations from the schedule are approximately 10-30 minutes. The most difficult situation arose with two trains that departed from Krivoy Rog. Both are 9 hours 18 minutes behind schedule. We are talking about the following flights:.
Thus, the greatest delay from the schedule is currently observed for flights connected to the central and south-eastern regions of Ukraine. Ukrzaliznytsia notes that the situation may change while driving, so passengers should check the current status of their flight before traveling.
A special operating regime was in effect in the capital, which was under a massive Russian attack.. At the Central railway station of Kyiv and the Darnitsa station, passengers boarding and disembarking in conditions of increased danger were carried out through underground passages. This algorithm is provided for the yellow level of air threat, when air targets are detected near train stations. It is noted that this made it possible to continue serving passengers, while simultaneously reducing the time they spent on open platforms.
According to Ukrzaliznytsia, the capital's railway stations were not damaged as a result of this attack.. After the air raid cleared, the railway company began to return to normal operating hours..
The Russian attack also affected the operation of the capital's ring train.. Kyiv City Express continues to run along the full ring, that is, there are no cancellations in certain sections yet. However, passengers should expect delays of approximately 10 to 30 minutes.
Ukrzaliznytsia separately reminded passengers that during an air raid, safety should remain a priority. If the alarm is sounded before the train departs, passengers are advised to take cover rather than try to reach the platform at any cost..
The company assured that a person who missed his flight precisely because of an air raid warning will not be left without the opportunity to continue his journey. “If you miss your flight due to an air raid warning, we will take you on another train using the same ticket,” Ukrzaliznytsia explained.. Thus, there is no need to buy a new ticket just because you are late due to the need to be in shelter during an alarm..
Due to significant schedule deviations, passengers should additionally check the actual running times of their train.. Current information about delays is updated in the official service of Ukrzaliznytsia uz-vezemo. There you can check a specific flight and see how much behind schedule it is..
It is especially important to follow updates for passengers who have transfers to other trains or international flights. A delay of four, six or nine hours can significantly change the planned route.
