Severe storm conditions in Transcarpathia, along with those in Slovakia and Hungary, have resulted in significant changes to the schedule of international and domestic passenger trains. Some services are being delayed, and passengers from abroad are being transported to Ukraine by replacement buses.
This was reported by Ukrzaliznytsia.
The company stated that due to the adverse weather, the railway companies of Hungary and Slovakia are forced to delay the following services:
- #143/750 from Vienna and Budapest;
- #617/964 from Bratislava.
Passengers from Debrecen (Hungary) and Košice (Slovakia) will be taken to the border by replacement buses. After that, they will be picked up by Ukrainian train #28 in Chop. The timing of delays and further departures will be determined after the buses arrive and in coordination with dispatchers from the three countries. The company warns that further changes may occur depending on the situation, particularly in Hungary.
Additionally, the storm has damaged the overhead contact line near Barkasovo and Skole, leading to delays in the following services:
- #9 Kyiv – Budapest;
- #82 Chop – Kyiv;
- #14 Solotvyno – Kyiv;
- #38 Mukachevo – Odesa;
- #749 Kyiv – Chop (with non-stop carriages to Vienna).
"We traditionally collect all schedule deviations on the uz-vezemo portal. We apologize for any inconvenience and assure you that we will ensure safe travel for everyone," emphasized the company’s press service.
