Why Temporary Trains Are Launched in Ukraine

Temporary railway connections are a common occurrence in Ukraine, allowing for a quick response to increased passenger flow. Such trains are most often assigned during holidays, school breaks, vacations, or other peak seasons when existing routes cannot meet the heightened demand for transportation.

• Holiday dates and weekends
• Vacation and holiday periods

Thanks to this practice, railway workers maintain comfort and mobility for passengers, even in cases where there is a significant shortage of seats on regular trains for popular routes.
