A number of suburban trains in Ukraine are being delayed due to the security situation and voltage fluctuations, according to Ukrzaliznytsia.
“For security reasons, the departure of a number of suburban trains in the Korosten direction is being delayed. In particular, the departure of trains No. 6610 Korosten – Borshchahivka and No. 6606 Malyn – Kyiv is delayed indefinitely. As soon as the situation allows, we will proceed,” Ukrzaliznytsia said in a statement on its Telegram channel on Tuesday.
Regional train No. 886/885 Slavutych – Kyiv-Volynsky is delayed by 1 hour and 20 minutes. Train No. 6603 Sviatoshyn – Teterev is departing from Irpin station with a delay of 53 minutes.
In the Kharkiv region, trains on the Merefa-Kharkiv section in the direction of Kharkiv are delayed due to voltage fluctuations in the network.
Given the security situation today, 13 January, some suburban trains in the Zhytomyr region will not be running temporarily. These are: No. 6450 Korosten – Ovruch and No. 6453 Ovruch – Korosten.
According to Serbian Economist, regular rail service between Belgrade and Budapest will start on February 20: passengers will once again be able to travel between the two capitals by train without changing trains. After modernization, the line is designed for train speeds of up to 160 km/h, which significantly reduces travel time and makes the train competitive with road transport.
In fact, this is not only about the “return of the train” between the two capitals, but also about Serbia’s inclusion in the wider Central Europe-Balkans-Aegean Sea transport corridor. Belgrade is gaining a stronger role as a transit hub for freight and passenger flows, and the route is becoming more attractive for logistics and industrial projects.

Train #99/100 Kyiv-Bucharest, despite massive attacks on Ukrainian critical and civilian infrastructure, has set off on its maiden voyage together with a hundred passengers, Deputy Prime Minister for Reconstruction – Minister of Community and Territory Development Oleksiy Kuleba said.
“Despite massive attacks on Ukrainian critical and civilian infrastructure by Russia, Ukrzaliznytsia trains are departing on schedule. Thus, train No. 99/100 Kiev-Bucharest departed on its first trip clearly on schedule,” Kuleba wrote in his Telegram channel on Friday.
According to him, the new train will run daily on the route Kiev-Bucharest through Vinnitsa, Zhmerinka, Mogilev-Podilskyi. Border control will take place in the towns of Velchinets and Ungheni.
It is noted that the train arrives at the main station of the capital of Romania – Gara de Nord.

In the opposite direction, according to the schedule, it will depart from Gara de Nord station at 19:10 and arrive in Kiev at 19:34 the next day.
“Even during the war, Ukraine continues to move forward – literally and symbolically”, – added the Deputy Prime Minister for recovery.

Ukrzaliznytsia has changed the routes of some trains due to the need to bypass a section in the Kremenchug district that was hit by a Russian night attack. The company announced this on its Telegram channel on Sunday.
Due to damage to infrastructure in the Kremenchug district caused by shelling, trains No. 59 Odessa-Kharkiv and No. 8 Kharkiv-Odessa will follow a changed route via the stations Poltava-Kyivska, Romodan, Grebenka, Taras Shevchenko (Smela), and Znamianka. Passengers will be transported to the Kremenchuk station by bus.
Train No. 260 from Chop will run to the Kryukiv-na-Dnipri station, from where bus transfers are also planned. Similarly, for the return route, buses will be waiting for passengers near the Kremenchug station at 1:30 p.m., with a subsequent transfer to trains in Zakarpattia.
“To summarize: in the coming days, while the multi-component repairs continue, there will definitely be train delays in the region due to the detour around the affected section. We will also use buses to transport passengers to/from Kremenchug from the nearest accessible stations,” according to a statement from Ukrzaliznytsia.
In addition, the company reported that suburban rolling stock in Kremenchug was damaged by shelling, and reserve rolling stock has already been put into service on the routes. However, electric trains No. 6663 Kremenchuk – Znamianka (Koristivka) and No. 6664 Znamianka (Koristivka) – Kremenchuk will not run on September 7, 2025, due to infrastructure restoration work.
