“Ukrzaliznytsia” in comments under the mayor’s post replied to the appeal of Mykolaiv’s mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych regarding the restoration of the night train on the Mykolaiv \u2014 Kyiv route, explaining current limitations and promising to additionally review the issue.<\/p>\n

The company emphasized that night services are important for residents of Mykolaiv<\/strong> and the region, in particular for passengers traveling for work, medical, and family reasons, however the current timetable is formed taking into account the security situation in the region, the need for technical maintenance of rolling stock, and ensuring safe working conditions for railway workers.<\/p>\n

“At the same time, the current timetable is formed taking into account a number of factors, including the security situation in the region, the need for technical maintenance of rolling stock and ensuring safe working conditions for Mykolaiv<\/strong> railway workers. Unfortunately, the railway infrastructure facilities of the Mykolaiv<\/strong> railway hub and passenger service have repeatedly been and remain under threat as a result of hostile attacks, therefore when planning the train timetable for the assignments of the Mykolaiv<\/strong> passenger carriage depot special attention is paid to minimizing risks for the employees who prepare and service the trains,” \u2014 the “Ukrzaliznytsia”<\/strong> said.<\/p>\n

“In addition, organizing a night service is a significantly more complex issue than changing a departure time in one direction. A train operates as a single rotation of the consist, so assigning a night service from Mykolaiv<\/strong> would automatically require revising the timetable in the direction from Kyiv<\/strong> to Mykolaiv<\/strong>, which may lead to the loss of convenient departure or arrival times for another group of passengers, in particular those traveling from Kyiv<\/strong>. At the same time, the issue you raised will be additionally worked on by specialized experts during further timetable analysis and transport planning. If opportunities appear to improve connections between Mykolaiv<\/strong> and Kyiv<\/strong>, such proposals will definitely be considered,” \u2014 the “Ukrzaliznytsia”<\/strong> added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The company’s clarification was published in the comments under the mayor’s post dedicated to the topic of restoring night connections between Mykolaiv<\/strong> and Kyiv<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Mykolaiv’s mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych proposed that “Ukrzaliznytsia”<\/strong> consider the possibility of restoring the night service Mykolaiv \u2014 Kyiv<\/strong>, which previously had high demand among passengers, as he stated in his appeal.<\/p>\n
