PRIVATE passenger operator RegioJet ran its first train from Prague, Czech Republic, to Chop, Ukraine, on March 28, with the first departure from Chop later the same day.<\/p>\n
The daily overnight service, which leaves Prague at 21.38 and Chop at 17.35, is an extension of RegioJet\u2019s existing Prague – Ko\u0161ice, Slovakia, service. The company already runs trains between Prague and P\u0159emy\u0161l, Poland, which is on the border with Ukraine and provides connections with Ukrainian Railways (UZ) services.<\/p>\n
The train to Chop is the first open-access service to run in Ukraine, using a short section of 1435mm track that runs from the border at \u010cierna nad Tisou in Slovakia.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe currently offer 134 seats in three coaches, including two couchettes and one seating coach,\u201d says Mr Jakub Svoboda, RegioJet CEO. \u201cWe are ready to increase capacity according to demand\u201d.<\/p>\n
