There are two routes between Odesa-Poizna and Odesa-Zahidna for trains between Odesa-Golovna and Bilhorod-Dnistrovs'kyj and vice versa. The longer route is via Odesa-Zastava-1 station and the shorter route to the south bypassing that station passing through Zhytomyrs’ka.
Prior to 2020-21 services between Odesa Golovna <=> Bilhorod-Dnistrovs'ky have used both routes, but only the northern, longer route via Odesa-Zastava-1 was used by the two train pairs in the 2020-2021 timetable.
The 2021-22 timetable has a single train pair by the short route Odesa-Poizna - Zhytomyrs’ka - Odesa-Zahidna

===Odesa-Poizna – Odesa-Zahidna===
It is not known which route is used by the long distance trains on this line so''' the compilers would welcome any information.'''
() UA19/32


There are two alternative routes between Odesa-Poizna and Odesa-Zahidna for trains heading between Odesa-Golovna and Bilgorod - Dnistrovs'kyj and vice versa; a longer route via Odesa-Zastava-1 station, or a ~5&nbsp;km shorter route to the south bypassing that station. Examination of the [https://swrailway.gov.ua Odesa area Suburban Trains timetables] (under 'Schedule of Suburb Trains by Direction' change the 'Choose Direction' drop-down list item to show 'Odesa - Bil-Dnistrovs'kyj' then click SHOW) shows which Suburban trains run via which route. It is not known which route is used by the long distance trains on this line.
==Other sparse services==
The following lines have few trains (relative to service levels generally in this country) - two or fewer trains each way or not daily, in each case excluding Sundays. Note that the 2020-2021 timetable is a reduced one with some service suspensions due to the Covid pandemic so information from another source for the preceding 'normal' timetable period has been used to list Sparse services.<br /> There is no longer a public timetable giving table numbers. Therefore, to help identify the line, each entry is preceded by the map reference in the most recent European Railway Atlas Regional edition:- The Baltic States, Belarus and Ukraine.

Introduction

This list is based on the timetable dated from 12 December 2021 to 10 December 2022, unless otherwise stated. Standard abbreviations are explained here.

Note: The former timetable numbers are no longer referred to in the on-line timetable information, so may not be quoted in the entries. The spelling of place names is normally consistent with those used in the European Railway Atlas (ERA).

Map references for each route entry are given in parentheses ( ). References prefixed "ERA-E" refer to the European Railway Atlas (All-Europe Edition) by M.G. Ball. References prefixed "ERA-R" refer to the European Railway Atlas (Regional Series - The Baltic States, Belarus and Ukraine) by M.G. Ball.

Obscure services

Zdolbuniv avoiding line: Hlyns’k-Zahura – Semylitka

(10/65) (ERA-E 118C3-C4; ERA-R 261C1) UA22/1

Trains travelling Lviv - Shepetivka - Kyiv use this curve which avoids the need to reverse at Zdolbuniv. In the present timetable almost all Lviv - Kyiv trains take this route.

Yahodyn - Dorohusk (Poland)

(18) (ERA-E 118B4; ERA-R 261A2) UA22/2

Only long distance trains between Warszawa (Poland) and Lviv cross the border, with bogie changing performed at Yahodyn.

L’viv primys’kyi(Lviv suburban station)

(20, 25, 26) (ERA-E 118B3,not shown; ERA-R 265B5, not shown) UA22/3

West of Lviv main station a short branch diverges east to a terminus station built in 1996 a short distance south of the main station. Once known as Lviv primys’kyi, it is now considered to be the suburban platforms of the main station. The suburban railway station serves trains to the west and south of Lviv including Stryi, Morshyn, Truskavets, Lavochne, Mukachevo, Khodoriv, ​​Zhydachiv, Sambir, Syanky, Shklo, Mostyska and Sudova Vyshnia.

Stryi avoiding line: Nezhukhiv - Uhers’ko

(20/23) (ERA-E 118B3; ERA-R266A3) UA22/4

This is a west to north link between the L’viv – Stryi line and the Drohobych – Stryi line. It is used by fast trains to avoid Stryi. Trains to L’viv run via the flyover and those towards Drohobych via the direct curve.

Zhmerynka avoiding lines

Click on the thumbnail for a full size map.


All fast trains between Kyiv and Lviv via Ternopil use these lines to avoid Zhmerynka

There two possible routes between the Khmel’nyts’kyi and Vynnitsia lines at Zhmerynka

Zhmerynka eastern avoiding curve

(30/70) (ERA-E 119A2; ERA-R 267B3) UA22/5A

This is a short west to north curve avoiding Zhmerynka station.

Fast trains use it to avoid reversing at Zhmerynka station but possibly only eastbound. See also the following entry. Any travel reports would be appreciated by the Compilers.

Zhmerynka western avoiding line: Braїliv - Zhmerynka-Podil’s’ka

(30/70) (ERA-E 119A2; ERA-R 267B3) UA22/5B

This ca 8 km long freight avoiding line runs via a flyover at Tartak and skirts the town to reach Zhmerynka Tovarnaya (marshalling yard) and thence Zhmerynka Podol'skaya. It appears to be used only by westbound passenger services, which are allowed slightly longer timings than eastbound trains. See also the preceding entry.

Train 715, the 06:50 Kyiv - Przemysl was confirmed as using this route on 23 September 2019

Note that there are two possible routes through Zhmerynka Tovarnaya. Any travel reports would be appreciated by the Compilers.

Chop avoiding line: Z.P. Dachne - Z.P. Chop Perevalochna Baza

(40) (ERA-E 118A2; ERA-R266A2) UA22/6

A north <=> east curve enabling trains to avoid reversal at Chop station. All trains Lviv <=> Uzhhorod not calling at Chop-Pas use this curve

Kyiv Western avoiding line: Borschahivka – Vyshneve

(86) (ERA-E 119B3; ERA-R 271B5) UA22/7

A curve from the Korosten’ – Kyïv line to the Kyïv – Fastiv-1 line allowing trains from the south to avoid Kyiv.

Used by only one local train pair in early 2020-21. These trains do not appear to run in 2021-22.

6540 Fastiv-1 - 07:01 Vyshneve - Sviatoshyn
6541 17:30 Sviatoshyn - Fastiv-1

Korosten’ – Korosten’-Podils’kyi

(61) (ERA-E 119A4; ERA-R 262B4) UA22/8

Two routes exist from the Ovruch line into the western end of Korosten’ station - a direct curve via Z.p Sady and a longer route via post. Pivdennyi, which dives under the Kovel' main line and comes up into the south side of Korosten station.

Click on the thumbnail for a full size map.


Most trains use the direct short curve via Z.p Sady but trains may run via post. Pivdennyi. Train 6453, the SuO Vystupovychi – 15:31 Korosten-Podils’kyi – Korosten’ was booked via this route for some years, but in 2020-2021 takes the direct route via Z.p Sady. The Egtre compilers would weloome further infornation on the routing of International trains to/from Belarus.

Two routes exist between Shpakivka and Kharkiv - the more northerly direct line via Zalyutine and the more southerly and slightly longer line via z.p. Podvirky and Nova Bavariya. There are obscure routes onto and off these lines south of Kharkiv-pas.

Click on the thumbnail for a full size map.


There are two routes between Odesa-Poizna and Odesa-Zahidna for trains between Odesa-Golovna and Bilhorod-Dnistrovs'kyj and vice versa. The longer route is via Odesa-Zastava-1 station and the shorter route to the south bypassing that station passing through Zhytomyrs’ka.

Prior to 2020-21 services between Odesa Golovna <=> Bilhorod-Dnistrovs'ky have used both routes, but only the northern, longer route via Odesa-Zastava-1 was used by the two train pairs in the 2020-2021 timetable. The 2021-22 timetable has a single train pair by the short route Odesa-Poizna - Zhytomyrs’ka - Odesa-Zahidna

6308 Odesa Golovna (13:26) – 13:37 Odesa Poizna – Bilhorod-Dnistrovs'ky
6546 Bilhorod-Dnistrovs'ky (13:24) - 15:45 Odesa Zahidna - Odesa Golovna


It is not known which route is used by the long distance trains on this line so the compilers would welcome any information.

Other sparse services

The following lines have few trains (relative to service levels generally in this country) - two or fewer trains each way or not daily, in each case excluding Sundays. Note that the 2020-2021 timetable is a reduced one with some service suspensions due to the Covid pandemic so information from another source for the preceding 'normal' timetable period has been used to list Sparse services.
There is no longer a public timetable giving table numbers. Therefore, to help identify the line, each entry is preceded by the map reference in the most recent European Railway Atlas Regional edition:- The Baltic States, Belarus and Ukraine.
