    The Kyiv–Uzhhorod train was involved in an accident after colliding with a mobile crane.

    The train driver and the mobile crane driver were killed instantly. This was reported on Telegram by journalist Vitaliy Glagola.

    He noted that the train collided with the mobile crane whilst crossing a level crossing near the village of Lyubyntsi, close to Stryi. As a result of the impact, the locomotive derailed.

    The assistant driver is in hospital with serious injuries. The mobile crane driver is also in hospital.

  • From 1 May, Ukrzaliznytsia will be sending freight wagons for repair in a new way

    From 1 May, Ukrzaliznytsia will be sending freight wagons for repair in a new way

    From 1 May, Ukrzaliznytsia is gradually rolling out a comprehensive digital service for organising the repair of freight wagons.

    The system is scheduled to be launched in 2026, with the aim of eliminating human error, improving the efficiency of the rolling stock and reducing waiting times. This was announced by the agency’s press office.

    The new service allows all stages — from planning to final settlements — to be transferred to a single online system, which significantly simplifies the process. To order repairs through Ukrzaliznytsia, wagon owners need to complete three main steps:

    • Planning and drawing up the contract (already available)
    • The system provides information on available capacity, tariffs and terms and conditions. The wagon owner creates an electronic application containing an annual repair plan, after which the contract is concluded online using a qualified electronic signature (QES).
    • Submitting an application and carrying out repairs (from 1 May 2026). The customer makes an advance payment and independently selects the production unit to carry out the work. Wagons are sent for repair in a queue that is automatically allocated within the system.
    • Completion of repairs and settlements. Upon completion of the work, the system generates all necessary documents, including repair completion certificates, which are uploaded to the customer’s personal online account. The final settlement is also carried out online. The entire process — from submitting the application to closing financial transactions — is fully digital. The service includes the automatic creation of a personal account and the option to renew contracts without the need for physical presence.

    To use the new service, applications are now being accepted via email at uzvs@uz.gov.ua and by telephone on 093-104-65-42.

    As a reminder, Ukrzaliznytsia is introducing an updated train timetable for 2026, which came into effect on 14 December 2025.

     

  • Train ticket prices have risen in Kyiv and the surrounding region

    Train ticket prices have risen in Kyiv and the surrounding region

    Ticket prices in Kyiv and the surrounding region have risen.

    The decision, which came into effect on 11 March, applies to commuter trains. This was reported by the public organisation ‘Passengers of Kyiv’.

    From 11 March 2026, a commission fee has been introduced in Kyiv and the surrounding region for the purchase of tickets for suburban trains, depending on the chosen method of purchase:

    – At ticket offices or directly on the train using payment terminals – 7.00 UAH.
    – Via self-service terminals (PTKS) – 6.70 UAH.
    – Using the automated payment system of the municipal enterprise “Main Information and Computing Centre” – 4.20 UAH.
    – Via mobile POS terminals of the Municipal Enterprise ‘Main Information and Computing Centre’ on trains – 7.00 UAH.

    No commission fee is charged when purchasing tickets via the ‘Ukrzaliznytsia’ JSC mobile app.

    The total cost of a journey on the city commuter train, which was previously 15 UAH, now includes an additional commission depending on the payment method. Consequently, the amount varies from 19.20 UAH to 22 UAH, with the exception of purchases via the mobile app, where the price remains unchanged.

    As a reminder, traffic patterns in central Kyiv will be altered on 8 March.

    From 22 January, the updated train schedule in Ukraine will come into effect at night

    A total of 118 long-distance trains and over a hundred regional and suburban trains will depart according to the revised schedule, including trains from Kyiv. The press service of the agency provided details.

    The schedule is aimed at solving the problem of massive delays caused by shelling, detours, and the use of reserve locomotives in regions without power.

    • No. 9 Kyiv – Budapest (09:43 instead of 11:05)
    • No. 749 Kyiv – Vienna (12:33 instead of 13:05)

    Tickets purchased after 8 January already reflect the new departure and arrival times. Passengers who purchased tickets on websites or at ticket offices of foreign carriers should be careful and check the times on the official channels of Ukrzaliznytsia.

    The updated schedule for your train can be found in the app and on the Ukrzaliznytsia website, as well as on information boards at stations.

  • Ukraine launches new rail routes to Germany

    Ukraine launches new rail routes to Germany

    Ukrzaliznytsia is launching new routes to Germany with one transfer, making travel to Central Europe more convenient. This was reported by the press service of Ukrzaliznytsia.

    Thanks to closer cooperation with Polish and German railways, from December 2025, there will be 17 direct trains between Poland and Germany instead of 11, which will significantly expand travel options.

    There are several routes to choose from in different regions of Ukraine. For example, a train from Kyiv arrives in Przemyśl, where you can transfer to the EC Via Regia to Leipzig, and from there to anywhere in Germany. Another route from Kharkiv via Przemyśl leads to Prague and Munich. There is also a connection from Dnipro via Kholm, with a subsequent transfer to a night train to Berlin.

    Thanks to optimised transfers and new connections, travelling to Germany is becoming much easier and more accessible for Ukrainians looking for a reliable, safe and comfortable way to travel between countries.

    As a reminder, the updated train system will begin operating in 2026.
