Ukrainian trains are still working fabulously, and are putting most of the rest of Europe to shame.
They’re cheap, reliable, and comfortable. Even in a war.
The only frustrating thing is they don’t seem to be doing first class cabins going across the border into Poland anymore (because of the war), and taking a first class cabin across Ukraine to Lviv and then another connection across the border is not particularly convenient.
- Symbiote 4y agoI think expecting first class rail travel during a major war is probably the most entitled attitude I've ever seen on HN.
- yakshaving_jgt 4y agoHave you visited Ukraine? Have you travelled by train in Ukraine? The first class carriages are still in use between Odessa and Kyiv or Odessa and Lviv, just not on the train between Odessa and Przemysl. I can't work out why.
- Symbiote 4y agoI couldn't care less about first class train service in Ukraine. Anyone who does care has the wrong priories. (I've been, but it was a brief visit a long time ago.)
- yakshaving_jgt 4y agoI live in Ukraine and I’ve had to shelter from the missiles. I’ve seen and heard them. And the attack drones. The sirens. The explosions. Who the hell are you to tell me where my priorities should lie?
