For the first time, Zhytomyr and Lutsk will have international rail connections as Ukrainian Railways (Ukrzaliznytsia) launches train No. 123/124 from Kyiv to Chełm, Poland. The service will pass through both Ukrainian cities and offer connections to Warsaw, Lublin and Poznań.
Ticket sales for the new route begin on 11 November, with the first departure scheduled for 20 November. The train will operate every other day.
"The train will run every other day. On even-numbered dates, it will depart from Kyiv at 18:48, stop in Zhytomyr at 21:38 and Lutsk at 04:22, and arrive in Chełm at 10:47. Convenient connections to Warsaw, Lublin and Poznań will be available there," Ukrzaliznytsia announced on Telegram.
In the opposite direction, the train will depart from Chełm on odd-numbered dates at 17:15, stopping in Lutsk at 01:00 and Zhytomyr at 08:20 before arriving in Kyiv at 11:15.
"Thanks to its convenient timetable, the train will also be useful for domestic travel between Ukraine's regional capitals," Ukrzaliznytsia added.
