Due to ongoing Russian attacks on the railway station in Dnipro and locomotives, significant delays of passenger trains departing from or arriving to the city are possible. Passengers are recommended to check the schedule immediately before traveling.
The press service of "Ukrzaliznytsia" reported this on the evening of October 30.
The company noted that railway workers are making every effort to keep train traffic running. However, the constant threat of new strikes may affect departure and arrival times of trains.
Passengers are advised to check information about delays in advance through the official service "UZ Vezemo". There you can find out the current status of your trip and possible deviations from the schedule.
In addition, the carrier has provided the possibility of a full refund for passengers who decide to cancel their trip from or to Dnipro due to the current situation.
To receive 100% compensation of the ticket price, it is necessary to file a claim return through a special service of "Ukrzaliznytsia". Thus, passengers can cancel the planned trip without losing the cost of the travel document.
The company also reminded about safety rules. If an evacuation is announced during the trip, passengers must immediately follow the instructions of railway workers and move away from the train at a distance of at least 200 meters. During an air alarm at the station, it is necessary to immediately move to a shelter.
Earlier on October 30, "Ukrzaliznytsia" reported new strikes by Russian troops on the railway station in Dnipro. According to the carrier, the evacuation was announced in advance. Preliminarily, passengers and railway employees were not injured.
For long-term stay of passengers at the station, areas in underground premises have been equipped. The company also announced its intention to ensure the departure of all trains, despite forced delays.
We remind you that on October 29, Russian troops attacked the railway station in Dnipro with a jet drone. The strike hit the passenger platform, near which the Dnipro — Zaporizhzhia train was standing. As a result of the attack, people were killed and injured.
The carrier's new warnings concern directly the movement of trains. The exact scale of possible delays cannot be determined in advance, as it depends on the further security situation.
