Due to damage to infrastructure after massive shelling in the Kharkiv region and Dnieper, commuter train routes have been temporarily changed, and a number of forward-thinking flights are running with significant delays. Despite the destruction of the depot, station and stations, traffic was restored, reserve diesel locomotives were used and safe transportation of passengers was ensured..

This was reported by Ukrzaliznytsia, and Deputy Prime Minister for Reconstruction Oleksiy Kuleba spoke about the scale of destruction. According to him, the enemy is deliberately targeting logistics hubs, trying to disrupt movement between communities and complicate evacuation and passenger transportation..

In Dnepr, the Russians carried out a massive attack with dozens of attack UAVs, inflicting critical losses on a suburban depot and train station.. The main repair shop was seriously damaged, some of the cars and infrastructure were damaged.

The blast wave blew out a number of windows in the carriages and the station building, leaving part of the region without power supply. In order not to stop traffic, railway workers promptly used reserve diesel locomotives - and traffic was completely restored.

During the attack, passengers and crews of trains No. 31 Zaporozhye - Przemysl, No. 119 Dnepr - Kholm, as well as commuter flight No. 6044 Pyatikhatki - Dnepr were in the shelter of the station. No one was hurt. Following the end of the emergency, train services were restored: both forward-thinking services departed with a delay of approximately 2.5 hours, delays are manageable and railway workers are working to reduce them.

In the Kharkov region, night shelling also caused significant damage. The infrastructure of several stations was damaged at once, and in Berestina a railway worker was injured - he was provided with all the necessary medical care. Cars, track elements and station facilities were destroyed, which affected the movement of both commuter and individual forward-thinking trains. Due to significant damage, Ukrzaliznytsia was forced to partially change the routes of trains No. 227 Barvenkovo \u200b\u200b- Ivano-Frankivsk and No. 102 Kherson - Barvenkovo. The bypass route increases travel time, but allows for the safe transportation of passengers.

Until the completion of emergency and restoration work, the movement of suburban electric trains at the Kharkov hub is partially limited. It is noted that this applies to Berestina directions, as well as flights from Kharkov, Orelka, Merefa and Poltava-Yuzhnaya. Today the following commuter trains run on the changed routes:.

Railway workers ask passengers to follow announcements at stations and on trains - flights may be delayed by up to 1 hour. As of this morning, the following trains are delayed:.
