Features of the connection with the Ukrainian side


The exact time of arrival in Kovel and departure in the opposite direction is not yet known. This issue will be agreed with Ukrzaliznytsia after receiving permission from the Polish regulator.


It is worth noting that Ukrzaliznytsia has already prepared the necessary infrastructure: the 1435 mm wide Euro gauge has been repaired on the section from the Polish border to Kovel with a total length of 70 kilometers.


All convenient routes to get from Poland to Ukraine can be found here.


Development of railway communication between Poland and Ukraine


This is the second route between Poland and Ukraine for SKPL Cargo. Last year, the company successfully launched a service from Warsaw to Rava-Ruska.


The carrier also has ambitious plans to further expand its route network. By the end of 2024, SKPL plans to connect the southern Subcarpathian region of Poland with the Ukrainian city of Khyriv by regular rail service.
