Train on a popular route is "canceled": why it will no longer run

Train #239/240 Kyiv-Kamianets-Podilskyi will no longer run in Ukraine. The fact is that it was temporary, and its operation was planned only for November 4.

This was reported by Ukrzaliznytsia when announcing its trips. They emphasized that the train was launched due to the need to meet the demand for tickets in this direction.

"We are finding opportunities to add seats in the direction of Kamianets-Podilskyi," the statement said.

So far, no new dates for the train have been announced. Nor have tickets for it appeared in the near future.

In general, the practice of "temporary" trains is not new in Ukraine. Most often, railroaders launch them when the demand for travel increases and the existing trains cannot cope with the passenger traffic. In particular, in connection with:

• holidays
• other important dates, such as holidays or vacation periods.

How many days to buy train tickets

At the same time, for some trains, Ukrzaliznytsia sells tickets only 10 days before departure, not 20 days, as for most flights. The reason is the circumstances caused by the war. We are talking, in particular, about trains:

• No. 110/109 Lviv - Kherson,
• No. 122/121 Kyiv - Mykolaiv, Kherson,
• No. 102/101 Kherson - Kramatorsk,
• No. 104/103 Lviv - Kramatorsk,
• 192/191 Odesa - Kramatorsk,
• No. 712/711 Kyiv - Kramatorsk,
• No. 234/233 Dnipro - Pavlohrad.

"Traditionally, ticket sales for long-distance trains start 20 days before the departure date. However, due to the full-scale invasion of Russia, the railroad is forced to make operational decisions on the possibility of movement, so for certain destinations tickets go on sale 10 days before the departure date," Ukrzaliznytsia said.

In addition, it is noted that the 10-day sales period also applies to some groups of non-stop cars. In particular, No. 086-234/233-085, No. 080-234/233-079 Lviv - Pavlohrad, Kyiv - Pavlohrad.

This rule also applies to regional trains with the 800th numbering. And in addition, the regional express train No. 7/701 Lviv - Chernivtsi.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, train 191/192 Kyiv - Lviv will no longer run. It was also temporary.
