From June 23 to 24, an additional high-speed train "Intercity+" No. 743/744 will begin operating between Kyiv and Lviv. This decision will help meet the needs of travelers ahead of the summer season. ### The fastest way to get to Lviv The new trip will be a record holder for speed on this route. The duration of a one-way trip will be just 6 hours. "Ukrzaliznytsya" emphasizes that the company constantly monitors the situation with the shortage of seats on popular routes and promptly seeks solutions to ensure the timely delivery of passengers. ### Passenger flow statistics The relevance of launching additional trains is confirmed by the figures. The Lviv route demonstrates consistently high demand figures. Only in the last week, 21 thousand passengers used this route, making it the most popular in Ukraine. ### Updating the route network The launch of the high-speed trip is part of a major schedule update for the holiday season. From June 28, 2026, the summer schedule will come into force, which provides for the introduction of 12 new trips and acceleration of movement on a number of routes. In addition, railway workers have optimized the distribution of carriages, transferring seven popular routes to a daily schedule. ### New regional connections In addition to interregional transport, the company is expanding the network within the regions. In particular, a new regional trip No. 854/853 "Dnipro β€” Kharkiv" is being launched. The train will provide direct communication between regional centers, which will allow passengers to make round trips within one day.
