Due to an accident on the Hungarian Railways, the non-stop trains from Vienna to Kyiv, which departed on May 7, are delayed by six hours.

This was reported by the press service of "Ukrzaliznytsia".

Upon arrival at the Chop station, the wagons will be included in train No. 82 Uzhhorod — Kyiv and will arrive in the capital on May 9 instead of May 8 at 7:30 p.m. as part of train No. 750.

The delay will also affect return trains to Vienna.

  • On Sunday morning, 9 cars of a 35-car Hungarian iron ore freight train derailed between Újfehértó and Hajdúhadház stations. At the moment, the Hungarians have just started lifting the wagons, so the restoration of the railway track and contact network will take at least a day.
  • Trains between Hajdúhadház and Újfehértó are suspended, Hungarian Railways is offering bus transfers, and Hungarian and Austrian Intercity trains between Budapest and Zahonnia will run between Budapest and Nyiregyhaza via Miskolc with longer journey times.
