Due to increased security risks in the Kharkiv region and Zaporozhye direction, bus detours and transfers operate instead of trains, while in the Sumy region traffic has been maintained despite the shelling. The largest delays on February 3 were recorded on the Lozovaya – Chop and Lozovaya – Lviv flights and amounted to more than 4 hours due to technical reasons.
Ukrzaliznytsia reports this.. In the Kharkov region, special attention is paid to the Lozovaya – Barvenkovo \u200b\u200b– Kramatorsk section, which continues to be in a high-risk zone. Therefore, passengers are advised to use the bus detour, which is organized with a connection, to minimize risks and ensure a safe continuation of the journey. Ukrzaliznytsia notes that the decision to change the route is made solely for reasons of safety of passengers and railway workers.
Enhanced monitoring of security threats continues in the Zaporozhye region. As of today, bus transfers between Dnepr and Zaporozhye are planned. Passengers heading to Sinelnikovo or Zaporozhye are advised to strictly follow the instructions of the train crew and station workers at the entrance to the Dnieper. Those departing from Zaporozhye or Sinelnikovo should carefully monitor messages in the Ukrzaliznytsia app and announcements at stations. The company does not rule out that, subject to an improvement in the security situation, individual trains may be allowed to pass through on a targeted basis without a bus detour, as has happened before. At the same time, the priority remains unchanged - maximum transportation safety. In the Sumy region, despite the shelling of Konotop, they decided not to stop train traffic. Monitoring groups work in an enhanced mode, constantly assessing threats.
In the event of direct danger, in particular the threat of UAV strikes, trains may be forced to stop near shelters to ensure the protection of passengers. As of the morning of February 3, a number of delays in train movement were recorded. In particular:.
