Sumy are 30 km from the border. But Ukraine entered into Kursk region for defending Sumy. So in fact the front line is 60km from railway near Sudzha town in Kursk region in russia. The speed line Kyiv - Poltava - Kharkiv is far from the border. But second (alternative) line Kyiv - Sumy - Kharkiv is in 7 km from the border with russia near Vorozhba junction station. Vorozhba station is often shelled by russian artillery and drones, so most of passenger trains go to Kharkiv through Poltava. The trains to Kharkiv through Sumy are often late because of danger of shelling.😢
@@davidwebb4904 In Ukraine railways play a great role during war, so trains did not stop even in hardest times of shelling Kyiv in 2022. Of course, trains are not allowed to go if it is danger. But danger in Ukraine is everywhere, because russia launches supersound balistic missiles to different cities of Ukraine almost every day (you have not more than 3 min to hide in shelter).
There is also a third point to enter Ukraine, although a bit more complicated. The Slovak railways run two pairs of trains between Košice in Slovakia and Mukachevo in Ukraine. They run on 1435 mm all the way to Mukachevo, which has a 1435 mm track. Less time is spent on border, but you have to change in Ukraine to their domestic fast train if you want to get further inland, like to Kyiv.
I joined a tour of the broad gauge system in Hungary because of the freight. The MAV does have broad gauge locomotives but no carriges. So the Ukrainian railways send out 2 sleepingcars. We did the daytour inside those coaches and loved it. We went with them back to Chop so we could see (3 hours) how the trains move there. We went back in MAV-coaches on the standard tracks that run into Chop. Would love to do the sleeping car train to Kyviv some day.
A great video! You are definitely right about meeting new people, my girlfriend and I were travelling from the Netherlands to Turkey by train and on the train from Bucharest to Sofia we met a lovely couple in our compartment that we chatted with the whole journey! We stayed in touch and are meeting up with them soon, truly a great memory and friendship!
Thank you for this video. It makes me remember the trip we did in 1986. Budapest to Kiev with a four day stopover in Ushgorod. Just a few months after Chernobyl, so we were the only tourists. The cars seem to be a updated and renovated version of the ones then.

The hole in the bathroom floor is probably an emergency drain in case someone clogs the sink. It did look (at a glance) as if they had enclosed toilet-systems at least.
Why are trains in Ukraine almost never late, unlike in Europe? Well, there are several reasons for this, and they primarily concern the organization of traffic not only in Ukraine, but also in other post-Soviet states. One of the reasons was indicated by the author, namely the lack of trees near the main lines. A fallen tree does not threaten the delay of trains. Another reason is the preparation of schedules. In Europe, there are "fast schedules", according to which trains travel as quickly as possible, without the right to make a mistake, and there are many of these trains. If one is delayed somewhere for some reason, subsequent problems will only mount according to the domino principle. In addition, there are many connecting routes, constant coupling and uncoupling of cars. And in Germany, for example, there is a practice of waiting for a late train with another train so that the transfer is not interrupted. In post-Soviet countries, schedules are drawn up in advance and, often, with a large lead time. The schedules are far from the fastest, but if a delay occurs, it is possible to easily fix it. There are not many trains, there are minimal changes of carriages, unlike in Europe, and even fewer agreed transfers. And the trains there do not wait for those running late, but depart on schedule no matter what.
In fact, there is quite a lot of traffic, cargo and passenger, long-distance and regional. And, as you said, this punctuality derives from the ex-Soviet system of railway construction and management. In Soviet times, the railways were constructed or rebuilt with 50 m (150 ft) free space from the rail to the forest or other objects. This strip of land along the railway was and even now is in possession of the railway administration, be it Russia or Ukraine or any other country in the ex-USSR, except for railways in cities, stations etc. So, no fallen trees and less possibility of disrupting accidents.
@@kgmakogon “Quite a lot of traffic”, is relative. In London, a train passing by every two minutes is normal. In Ukraine, four trains a day, is “a lot of traffic”.
@@davidwebb4904 man, in Spain many lines see less than 5 passenger trains per day in each direction, and they still manage to be late most of the time. So the frequency of trains cannot be the reason. Ukrainians are doing something else right
There's two direct connections to Kyiv (and beyond actually) but the most convenient and fast is from Warsaw to Kyiv with a cross-platform transfer from Polish IC to Ukrainian train in Chełm. Did this a couple of times, sometimes with huge loads of baggage, going once more in a couple of weeks.
@@Andrij_KozakPrzemyśl is convenient on paper, but the border control there is chaotic, lots of trains are up to 5 hors late, and connections are way too long of a way to anywhere.

Awesome trip report as always😄 It would be great if UZ could use those automatic gauge-changing trains like those used in Spain to eliminate having to change bogies and greatly speed up crossing the border.
Did the Moscow - Kiev - Bucharest back in 1991, still Soviet Union! 27 hours of fun. In 2 compartments was one family (and luggage), emigrating to Israel. Hope one day to be able to do the Bucharest - Moscow again…
Kyiv - Moscow line is closed for at least 50 years. All railway bridges on the border were destroyed in 2022 and it will take years to build new ones even if the war ends today.
Why moscow? Nothing to do there among orcs. Come visit Kyiv or Kharkiv when it's peace. We definitely need a train Kyiv - Bucharest - Sofia / Varna or Istanbul if possible (there was one in the 90s), with a carriage from Kharkiv as quite many people from there now live in Romania.

Very good video! Let me clarify a bit - the carriage you were travelling in is specifically for international transport, the other carriages are used in the country itself
Thank you to the author for showing the work of Ukrainian railway workers during the war. Russian missiles attempt to disrupt normal transportation operations and kill transport workers. In the first days of the war, millions of Ukrainians used Ukrainian railways to relocate to safer places. In sleeping cars like the one shown by the author, sometimes more than a hundred passengers would fit together with their pets - cats and dogs.
Looking at 12:32 -- "back in the day," toilets on Amtrak used to dump directly onto the tracks, and you could see down onto the trackbed just like in this video. A sign in the restroom used to say "Please do not flush toilet while train is stopped at station." (So I waited until we began rolling and weren't stopped at the platform. :) )
I travelled to Ukraine this summer, though by bus from Moldova. On the Ukrainian side of the border they did ask a few questions about my visit, but my answers were apparently satisfactory. I wonder if it had been any different had I taken the train. I enjoyed my stay in Kyiv, and I would love to return to Ukraine one of these days!

About the Boogie changing Bit: it would make the Service a Lot faster/less noisy/complicated If those Cars Had Automatic gauge switching boogies. There are some existing in Switzerland (i Believe) that can Change from narrow to Standart Gauge and back
Please go to the black sea coast on train from Kiev to Dnipro and then from Dnipro to Odessa, or on Ukrainian speed trains! that will be really cool!!!👍
I took a night train from Berlin to Kyiv in 1994. At that time, it passed through Belarus which demanded an extra $70 for a transit visum. The Terespol-Brest border and gauge change started just after midnight, and the Ukrainian border check was at 5AM, so I didn't get much sleep either. I returned on a train to Krakow via Przemysl.
только в наших вагонах в туалете может быть две дырки и для второго этажа койки дают стремянку строительную и обязательно дают бесплатно холодного кипяточку 😁
If you are wondering how they this in the opposite direction away from Ukraine towards Austria you might find one of the carriages having stretchers because this train is a lifeblood for Ukraine since there are no Medical evacuation aeroplanes since the Russian military controls the skies over Ukraine. 2:54 MAV V47 also known as DB Baureihe MRCE Dispolok Baureihe 182🇩🇪 ÖBB Baureihe 1016/1116🇦🇹. The Logical solution for this train is actually making it variable gauge one of them would be a combination Guards/Parcel carriage. Which will be used to carry MREs made in the UK/France/USA via Rammstein Flugplatz to the Ukrainian front. For chop to Kyiv there might be situations where the electric loco is towed behind a Diesel locomotive due to the fact that the substations for 3kv DC and 25kv 50hz are subjected to attacks by the Russian Air Force
I'd like to see the video of the renewed Ukrainian commuter train. The best route to try them is the Kyiv City Express (Kyiv Urban Rail) or Kyiv Circular line.
A quick heads-up if you wish to do this now; normal travel insurance may not cover the trip, especially if your foreign ministry has advised against going there.
Loved this post, the last time I was in Budapest, the train station was ungoing massive renovations, stunning building never the less! I wondered when you said you were sharing the compartment, what happens if its a female. Very brave of you to travel all the way to Kyiv...I think I could do Lviv.... Slava Ukraini !

Very nice video report about your train journey from Hungary to Ukraine. I watched it from start to finish. I was once in Hungary taking the night train Chopin from Krakow Główny, but I was going to Nyugati station. I have to admit that in Budapest they have very beautiful architecture of the train station buildings. I don't want to sound stupid and strange but... you didn't have any fears/concerns about going to Ukraine, to a country where there is currently a war? Fear in the sense that some missile made in Russia could hit your train in your carriage. Thank you in advance for your answer.
Ive been three times in the last two years. Last year, I went as far as Kharkiv, Izyum and Sloviansk. A mere 20 minutes from where TV says is actual war stuff happening. I saw nothing I heard nothing. Its absolutely fine. Much safer than London. Off to Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and Kramatorsk next week. Possible side trip to Sumy if I have time.
How did you book that train? I tried everything under the sun but it was impossible to book that train online within months/weeks/days of travel. I was forced to resort to using a bus. I fear that you can only book that train via ticket offices, by phone or by having "connections". In all it left a bad aftertaste.
@@ob_dowboosh I always do. I should have clarified that I mean Hungary and Elvira and the same route out as in the video to Budapesht. Slovakia and Poland have always worked out flawlessly by train.
Ну этот поезд без пересадок идёт, у него вагоны узкие. А поездов, которые идут в Украину без пересадок, мало. С Перемышля, что возле границы с Украиной, есть и более современная электричка производства Кореи.

Hungary as well....80% of rolling stock is 40 yrs old
Excellent video. They are gradually building standard gauge lines across the borders such as from Chop to Uzhhorod.
Impressive ride. And I also saw on another channel the new Luped Railway in thecYucatan Peninsula in Mexico! Another train you might go on! 😉
Very cool video. I never knew that about the different rail gauges. I thought it was standard throughout the world.
Amazing video🙌 Hope to see more content with the Ukrainian Railways
Great video.
I travelled to Ukraine this summer, though by bus from Moldova. On the Ukrainian side of the border they did ask a few questions about my visit, but my answers were apparently satisfactory. I wonder if it had been any different had I taken the train. I enjoyed my stay in Kyiv, and I would love to return to Ukraine one of these days!
Welcome)
grazie per questo video come interesse per il martoriato popolo ucraino

First Simply Railways Video on a train into a country at war defending itself.
всё по класике и стакан гранёный в подстаканнике)) Староват вагончик, но еще походит. А вот толчок уже надо ставить современный. Странно что вообще с таким туалетом по европе разрешили ездить. Грета тунберг негодуэ.
слабоумный, а что с туалетом не так? Туалет вакуумный. На рельсы ничего не выкидывается...
@@ИгорьБелышев-ь7л вы сразу продемонстрировали свой уровень начав своё обращение с оскорбления. Дайте таймкод, где вы там увидели "вакуумный" туалет.
About the Boogie changing Bit: it would make the Service a Lot faster/less noisy/complicated If those Cars Had Automatic gauge switching boogies. There are some existing in Switzerland (i Believe) that can Change from narrow to Standart Gauge and back
Thanks for showing Ukraine 🇺🇦
Meanwhile Ukraine 12:28 😂
Как вас с такими унитазами в Европу пустили, немытые?
great video I'm going to try and go to Ukraine on my channel
Please go to the black sea coast on train from Kiev to Dnipro and then from Dnipro to Odessa, or on Ukrainian speed trains! that will be really cool!!!👍
Kyiv is not Kiev(moscovian variant). Please, use new variant = Kyiv
@@vladlen251не, все правильно. Киев, кыив у себя на селе говори
@@vladlen251 I know, i just used Kiev, whats wrong?
das ist doch meine liebe Heimatstadt Kiew🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I took a night train from Berlin to Kyiv in 1994. At that time, it passed through Belarus which demanded an extra $70 for a transit visum. The Terespol-Brest border and gauge change started just after midnight, and the Ukrainian border check was at 5AM, so I didn't get much sleep either. I returned on a train to Krakow via Przemysl.
Very interesting trip ti Kiev ! I would love to be a patrion, but am unwilling to put my credit card out there on the either !
Where can you book tickets for this train online?
Hello nice video , like .
always wanted to ride on this train maybe someday!
Been there done that, and more, three times over the last two years. Off there yet again next week.
только в наших вагонах в туалете может быть две дырки и для второго этажа койки дают стремянку строительную и обязательно дают бесплатно холодного кипяточку 😁
Great video. I'm re-subscribing to your videos now I know you use sub-titles and no commentary. Thanks!
If you are wondering how they this in the opposite direction away from Ukraine towards Austria you might find one of the carriages having stretchers because this train is a lifeblood for Ukraine since there are no Medical evacuation aeroplanes since the Russian military controls the skies over Ukraine. 2:54 MAV V47 also known as DB Baureihe MRCE Dispolok Baureihe 182🇩🇪 ÖBB Baureihe 1016/1116🇦🇹. The Logical solution for this train is actually making it variable gauge one of them would be a combination Guards/Parcel carriage. Which will be used to carry MREs made in the UK/France/USA via Rammstein Flugplatz to the Ukrainian front. For chop to Kyiv there might be situations where the electric loco is towed behind a Diesel locomotive due to the fact that the substations for 3kv DC and 25kv 50hz are subjected to attacks by the Russian Air Force
I'd like to see the video of the renewed Ukrainian commuter train. The best route to try them is the Kyiv City Express (Kyiv Urban Rail) or Kyiv Circular line.
Courageous Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Can you also make a video in which you can take the UZ train from Chisinau(Kishinev) to Kyiv?
Glad the grand station was not destroyed by Russian bombings. Sad so many young lives have been lost😢
A quick heads-up if you wish to do this now; normal travel insurance may not cover the trip, especially if your foreign ministry has advised against going there.

Ohaaaa budapeşte ve kiev arası 1171 km mi ?
someday you should take a ride from Moscow to Vladivostok)
Loved this post, the last time I was in Budapest, the train station was ungoing massive renovations, stunning building never the less! I wondered when you said you were sharing the compartment, what happens if its a female. Very brave of you to travel all the way to Kyiv...I think I could do Lviv.... Slava Ukraini !
Interesting that you would go to Ukraine during a war.
there is a lot of tourism as ukrie women going freely back for hairsdressiders, nails etc after collecting socials welfare on European tax payer expense
@@sergejskubraks2454Those women escaped from war, not from poorness.

Very nice video report about your train journey from Hungary to Ukraine. I watched it from start to finish. I was once in Hungary taking the night train Chopin from Krakow Główny, but I was going to Nyugati station. I have to admit that in Budapest they have very beautiful architecture of the train station buildings. I don't want to sound stupid and strange but... you didn't have any fears/concerns about going to Ukraine, to a country where there is currently a war? Fear in the sense that some missile made in Russia could hit your train in your carriage. Thank you in advance for your answer.
Ive been three times in the last two years. Last year, I went as far as Kharkiv, Izyum and Sloviansk. A mere 20 minutes from where TV says is actual war stuff happening. I saw nothing I heard nothing. Its absolutely fine. Much safer than London. Off to Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and Kramatorsk next week. Possible side trip to Sumy if I have time.
How did you book that train? I tried everything under the sun but it was impossible to book that train online within months/weeks/days of travel. I was forced to resort to using a bus.
I fear that you can only book that train via ticket offices, by phone or by having "connections".
In all it left a bad aftertaste.
Better book trains from Przemysl (aka Peremyshl)
@@ob_dowboosh I always do. I should have clarified that I mean Hungary and Elvira and the same route out as in the video to Budapesht. Slovakia and Poland have always worked out flawlessly by train.

Это что лучший вариант в Украине... И что штучном варианте.... Народ спрашивает почитая комментарии где купить билет на такой поезд.....
Ну этот поезд без пересадок идёт, у него вагоны узкие. А поездов, которые идут в Украину без пересадок, мало. С Перемышля, что возле границы с Украиной, есть и более современная электричка производства Кореи.
Amazing content! Welcome to Ukraine! I visited my childhood many times by train to different cities
👍🏻🇫🇷✌️🏴
Желаю всем мира и добра
8:01 = WOW , WE DIDN'T KNOW IRELAND HAVE 1600 MM WIDE GAUGE .
I would never go on one of those sleepers. Sharing a sleeping compartment with a total stranger is potentially dangerous.
Did full Kyiv - Vienna two way back in 2017. 25 hours total. Hungarian border guys were quite bad honestly
Насколько я помню: в Вену вагон шел через Словакию (Чоп-Кошице-Братислава-Мархегг), в Венгрию он не заезжал, венгерских погранцов там быть не могло...
@nemaks77 No, it did. Also good luck assuming someone will answer you in your language on international resource
Any meals? Showers?
