Ukrzaliznytsia has suspended the movement of some suburban trains: what is known

Ukrzaliznytsia has temporarily suspended the movement of a number of suburban trains in three regions of Ukraine – Sumy, Chernihiv and Lviv. The decision was made for security reasons due to the constant threat of attacks by Russian troops.

This is reported by ” We-Ukraine “.

Four suburban routes have been stopped in the northern regions:

• No. 967 Tereshchenskaya — Novgorod-Siversky;
• No. 968 Novgorod-Siversky — Tereshchensk;
• No. 969 Snovsk — Gorodnya;
• No. 970 Gorodnya — Snovsk.

Four more routes will temporarily not operate in the Lviv region:

• No. 961/962 Sambir — Nizhankavychi;
• No. 963/964 Nizhankavychi — Sambir;
• No. 966 Starzhava — Sambir;
• No. 965 Sambir — Starzhava.

Also, on October 4, train No. 6105 from Vorozhba to Bakhmach departed from Konotop station with an hour’s delay due to the need to pass a priority train.

At the same time, as Oleksandr Pertsovsky, Chairman of the Board of Ukrzaliznytsia, announced during the telethon, the company is restructuring routes in front-line regions to minimize risks for passengers and employees.

“These are our frontline regions that are under attack every day. But it is fundamentally important to continue communication with these cities… We are restructuring in a certain way, I will not talk about it extensively, but we are restructuring our routes, making them combined in order to reduce security risks,” he noted.

According to Pertsovsky, the Russian army continues to hunt for locomotives, wagons, and other rolling stock, but despite this, Ukrzaliznytsia does not plan to stop communication with front-line communities.

“We ask all passengers to listen to the instructions of train crews and station employees. Certain sections will be covered by buses, routes will be changed to minimize risks,” the company’s head added.

Ukrzaliznytsia emphasized that all decisions are made solely for security reasons, and connections with frontline cities remain one of the key elements of supporting civilian life in wartime.

Let us recall that on the afternoon of October 4, Russian troops attacked a railway station in the Shostka community in the Sumy region.
