Lviv’s main railway station temporarily not accepting trains: where trains will arrive

8 November trains of the Lviv direction will arrive at and depart from the Podzamche station instead of the main railway station. Access to the main station has been closed for several hours for restoration work.

Due to technical reasons, trains on the Lviv direction will today run via Podzamche station in the central part of Lviv. Access to the main station is closed for several hours, where restoration work is underway. Passengers are asked to plan trips from Podzamche station. Ukrzaliznytsia apologized for the operational changes and the forced delays. They assured that the schedule is being made up and the malfunction is being eliminated. When trains will return to the main station, the company has not yet announced.

Ukrzaliznytsia has recently repeatedly changed routes operatively due to damage. At the end of October, due to numerous strikes on the Dnipro and Kharkiv, part of the trains were transferred to multimodal transfers. The head of the company’s board, Oleksandr Pershchovskyi, explained that due to damage to carriages and locomotives, the most affected were services from Solotvino, Yasyn, Truskavets, and Lviv, which were delayed in Dnipro. At the same time, the carrier is expanding connections with the West. In these days Ukrzaliznytsia launched the flagship train "Yaroslav the Wise" on the Kyiv - Przemysl route. It was named after the train "Yaroslav," which 4 November 1861 year arrived in Lviv from Vienna, and this date is considered the start of railway movement in Ukraine.
