[@christophernoble6810]

There are currently international trains serving Kyiv and Lviv, including from Vienna, but foreigners are advised not to travel of course.

Ekr1 ("Tarpan") intercity electric train of dual 25kV AC and 3kV DC stream systems (as Ukraine has both systems), max speed is 200 km/h (in Ukraine it is allowed 160km/h). Those trains were built in 2010 in Kriukiv train carriage building plant (KVBZ), Kremenchuk city, Ukraine. It has Siemens asynchronic electric motors and power electronics, Bremse breaks, PESA interrier components. The rest is predominantly made in Ukraine.

Wow! Actually, I went to Odesa for two days from Kyiv and back in the year 2003. But it was on one of these more regular blue "platzkartny" wagons, so these were much slower overnight trips. Yet I have to say - I do prefer it that "old" way, when you actually have more "feel through" the journey, rather than sitting in a chair for 7 hours. You know, this experience of spending this evening in a "semi-detached" compartments, meeting people, having these "endless train conversations" while sipping on some tea from these metal-and-glass train glasses and watching the scenery flow by. Or some longer stops, including shunting work done by the railway.. But it might be just me, I know. Yet in the end, nothing is more important than all of us making all necessary effort to make sure that Ukraine stands its ground, dignity and sovereignty, and bringing all the russian war criminals to justice!

My first wife was Ukrainian. Really hard-working people. And friendly, like you mentioned. Thanks for sharing this pre-invasion view. One thing concerning seat reviews. I've never heard you or any of the other train/rail enthusiasts mention the heating shield on the floor below the window. Do they exist on the train being reviewed? The Nouvelle Aquitaine TER trains between my home in Arcachon and Bordeaux have the same setup as the train in this video. I find them REALLY inconvenient and uncomfortable. They encroach on the width of the foot space. I always take an aisle seat when available for that reason. I would like to see their impact mentioned in future videos. For a given type of carriage, do they get in the way or not? That would be helpful when making seat reservations in the future. Merci d'avance !

At 14:05 as I see, the prices aren't cheap if compared with a "regular" restaurant. A "Lunch box" for 140 and "Fresh Sandwich" for 80 is of course maybe half, what it would be on German ICE - but sadly I miss the old-style dining cars where the real food was cooked. But even in UA these full-service dining cars are thing of the past. Than, for such a long trip I would prefer to have an old-style open-berth car. These aren't bad and there is a huge boiler with hot water (and you can buy tea for conductor). Interesting thing: the tea in sleeping cars is served in special glasses + special glass holders. This applies to all three east-slavonic countries. "BY" being probably the most strict, but even there it is 100% OK to ask the conductor politely that you intent to "break" the glass and the holder and compensate the railway for the loss. So you pay an official bill for what that glass + holder (called "podstakannik") costs to the railway and are allowed to keep it for yourself. Since many tourists (and even locals!) doing that, the new trend is to sell these officially. It never hurts to ask. The "problem" with the daytime trains all over these countries is that there is no glass anymore, only paper / plastic cup. Update: I just noticed that (14:05) a "Roshen" candy bar is "of course" well under $1 (20 HR to be precise). Well, well... ;-) You know, why I am saying that, don't you? Some sarcasm and politics aside: we are actually fans of some Roshen things. But unsure, their candy bar is the most healthy food in that kitchen.

Great video, thanks for uploading it.

No worries!

It seems like a good train, but why it goes so slow? 655 km is 7h 45m of the trip.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Average speed out here

[@TheOlgaSasha]

The train goes on the common track max 140 km/h. But the line has huge freight traffic, so even with 2 tracks it is hard to move faster. The lines from Kyiv to Lviv and from Kyiv to Kharkiv are 160-170 km/h. It is planned to build a new Kyiv-Odesa passenger line with 300 km/h. But only Chinese investors were interesred before war...

Nice Video. I hope that you will make a video about the Bergen railway in Norway. I was travelling 24th of June between Oslo and Bergen. It was a phantastic and scenic trip.

It seems that Ukrainian Railways has improved as compared to last 7, 8 years

Так приятно смотреть на это видео! Украины хорошие и добрые, душевные люди! Был в вашей стране и остался в полном восторге, хотел бы вернуться вновь! Жаль весь ваш народ, героический, здоровья и удачи! Поскорее бы, все это безумие закончилось! Я с вами товарищи и за мирное небо!

Wow that train looks great, I did this trip in August 2015 with a night train but was old train with many many stops ...

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Glad you liked it 😀

[@Dan-u1e]

Красно дякую, що відвідали нашу чудову країну! 💙💛 Якщо чесно, то за все своє життя я лише два рази їздив "якісним" потягом - з мого рідного Дніпра до Києва, і назад через два дні. Мене дуже приємно здивувало, що там був інтернет. 😅 Решта моїх поїздок проходила у "звичайних" поїздах, де насолодитися поїздкою чи заснути було досить складно...

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Stay strong ✌🏻🇺🇦

15:57 I love those places. I rode those blue electric trains like in 17:06 - in my childhood.

Absolutely 😁

Appreciate you to give people a chance to explore this beautiful country. And as a Chinese, I can prove the current situation is just like you said, people in Russia, China and other few countries are not allowed to express our attitudes in public. But I will still say it, I and most of our people don't support Putin's illegal war, and we hold the same attitudes to these dictators like you.

[@iachelovek-ib8rw]

В результате вторжения Америки в Ирак погбило более 1 млн. гражданских, в результате российского вторжения цифра едва достигает 30 000 погибших гражданских, добавлю что Путин все это время давал возможность для переговоров, но Зеленский ими не пользуется и подписал бумагу, по котрой он не обязан вести переговоры с Путиным Деалете выводы
