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.
