Hi Guys ! Seems people are having the same probems I'm encountering regarding train times and buses to Donetsk. I'll be based in Kharkov for 10 days but also need to get to Donesk for a game on the 11th June. Anyone found a timetable for trains yet or possible coach hire ( I was thinking if theres enough of us we can hire / charter mini bus to take us to the game and return immediately aftrewards ) If anyone has any new info on travel details please reply / post.
Many Thanks.
Sid
Hello All,
I am traveling with 2 friends to Ukraine for the Euros. Most of our time will be spent in Kyiv, but a few nights we will be in Kharkiv. What are some good restaurants and bars in Kharkiv. Looking for places locals go too not tourist traps. I also have another problem we are coming from Chicago and we are nit arriving until the 11th, but I have 3 tickets to the game in Kharkiv on the 9th. I am not looking to make any money just selling them fir face value. Don't want them to go unused. If anyone is interested let me know. Also any other suggestions on places to go in Kharkiv would be greatly appreciated.

> Anyone found a timetable
The timetable can be easily found at [www.uz.gov.ua/en] - the Ukrainian Railways website.
Thanks Igor - just been looking at the timetable. Its a shame they don't have a late night train going from Donetsk to kharkiv as many of us have tickets to the England v france game but at the moment are unable to get back. Any ideas if another train company runs a late night train back to Kharkiv ? ( even if its the slow service )
Is the train no. 144 to St. Petersburg via Kharkiv, dep Donetsk 23:01, too early for you? Painfully slow, but will finally get you to Kharkiv after 11 hours.
300 km in 11 hours! Too long for anyone. Also, there are only tickets left in "platzkart". it's like a third world country car. It will be a terrible ride. Maybe we can get enough people to rent a mini-van in Kharkiv
Are more trains likely to be added in the next few weeks ? I hope locals will have entrepreneurial spirit and offer to drive fans to and from the games, they could make decent money if theres a group of us that all get in a people carrier and head to Donetsk with immediate return. There must be more options than that 11 hour train.
I just found a site www.ukrainetraintickets.com that has a train running from Donetsk back to Kharkiv on the 11th June departing at 22-43 and arriving 05-10 . Thats not too bad.....
hi all. im also trying to get train tickets from donetsk to kharkiv. Does anyone know when you buy tickets from this site (http://booking.uz.gov.ua/) How do you get your tickets. Can you ppick them up at the station??
