High Speed TrainsCountry forums / Eastern Europe & the Caucasus / Ukraine | ||
Going to the Euro, and will be seeing a lot of games; will have to travel quite a bit. Now I know the high speed trains will be ready, but does anyone know when and where tickets will be available? I would much rather take the high speed train to the standard train, but it seems like no information is out there. Thanks. | ||
At the same ticket offices as common train tickets, for sure. | 1 | |
when and where tickets will be available? Almost nothing is known yet, since UZ (Ukrainian Railways) still testing new trains on Ukrainian rail. As of now only on Kyiv-Kharkiv express train is on for a new timetable. Obviously until UZ will be sure about potential schedule no sales will be open. | 2 | |
Thanks for the info; helps. Also I noticed june 10th no trains available from Harkov to Doneck. Is that normal? Weird since I can get a ticket from Doneck to Harkov on June 12th? | 3 | |
Also I noticed june 10th no trains available from Harkov to Doneck. Is that normal? Weird since I can get a ticket from Doneck to Harkov on June 12th? During this time of the year weird things like this can happen with UZ. Mainly because of the upcoming train timetable change + now UZ will try to introduce a number of new trains. As result not all the new schedules are known yet. No definite and agreed by all the parties schedule= no ticket sale. Guess schedules for Donetsk-Kharkiv are already known(=sale is open), while vice versa direction not yet. At least it seems like the only possible explanation. | 4 | |
thanks for that link #4 | 5 | |
I think it's not the engineer, but the stupid Ukrainian government, that ordered incompatible trains. | 6 | |
