A daytime train in summer heat can become a real ordeal for passengers, especially for children, the elderly and those with health problems<\/h2>\n

Mykolaiv<\/strong> mayor Oleksandr Senkevych<\/strong> reported that today, June 2, 2026<\/strong>, he prepared an appeal to Ukrzaliznytsia<\/strong> regarding the schedule of the “Mykolaiv-Kyiv”<\/strong> train. The reason – the removal from the timetable of the night service, which had previously been the most convenient option for many passengers traveling to the capital.<\/p>\n

According to the mayor, the train now runs daily, but only the daytime service remains in the schedule: departure from Mykolaiv<\/strong> in the morning and arrival in Kyiv<\/strong> in the evening. Previously there was an alternating night option every other day, which allowed people to leave after work and already be in the capital in the morning.<\/p>\n

For Mykolaiv<\/strong> this is not just a matter of comfort. Thousands of people use this route every day: some go to work, some for medical treatment, to relatives or on business. That is why the night connection is critically important for part of the passengers.<\/p>\n

Separately, Oleksandr Senkevych<\/strong> drew attention to the conditions of the daytime service in summer. In Mykolaiv<\/strong> the heat can reach 40 degrees<\/strong>, and if old carriages are put on the route, the journey turns into a serious test. It is especially difficult, he said, to travel on the second berth.<\/p>\n

Under such conditions the daytime service becomes physically demanding for many passengers. This is felt most by the elderly, children and those with health problems.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the mayor noted that he understands the difficult conditions in which Ukrzaliznytsia<\/strong> operates during the war: constant Russian shelling, risks to rolling stock and the need to make difficult decisions for the safety of passengers and railway workers.<\/p>\n

In his appeal Oleksandr Senkevych<\/strong> emphasized that he asks Ukrzaliznytsia<\/strong> to find a solution that will take into account the needs of passengers on the “Mykolaiv-Kyiv”<\/strong> route.<\/p>\n

“At the same time, I ask you to consider the possibility of restoring the night service or another solution that will take into account the needs of passengers. I am counting on constructive dialogue.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
