Delays were also reported in the Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, Kirovohrad, Lviv, Mykolaiv, Poltava, Rivne, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, Cherkasy, and Chernivtsi regions. Ukrzaliznytsia explained that some routes pass through several regions. Therefore, the same train may be listed multiple times in regional schedules.

Passengers are advised to check for the latest information on delays for commuter and regional trains before traveling. The carrier also warned that train service may be temporarily suspended due to heightened security risks. “If a train is delayed due to an air raid alert, do not wait for it to arrive at the platform; instead, stay in a safe place,” Ukrzaliznytsia emphasized.

In case of danger, passengers are advised to proceed to the nearest shelter or move at least 200 meters away from railway infrastructure. Trains whose service was suspended due to an air threat will resume service once the alert has ended. Ukrzaliznytsia reported this on the morning of November 9.

JSC “Ukrzaliznytsia” plans to thoroughly review its safety protocols following the incident in which a Russian drone struck a platform at the Dnipro train station. The purpose of the review is to identify measures to speed up the response to threats during air alerts and ensure that passengers are evacuated to safe locations.

As of October 29, Ukrzaliznytsia has temporarily adjusted the schedules of some commuter trains due to planned track repairs. The changes affect the schedules of a number of trains.
