Virtually any resident of the west or southUkraine will say that it does not like to move between these two regions. Drive to Kiev - yes, especially in official need. But to leave your region for the sake of something less attractive - for nothing. Moreover, a resident of Odessa will say about Lviv: "There is not even a sea there. For what is it to go?" A citizen of Lviv will complain that without the aroma of freshly made coffee, he doesn’t imagine a city, especially if he has almost no history.
No express
In Lviv, the historic center of the city was formedin the Polish Empire, was updated in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and finally formed in the Russian Empire. Odessa was never built up by the Poles and Austrians, but it won the competition for the best layout of its center, because it was built by Italian architects with an eye to the best European examples. And the stations in both cities are beautiful, built in the best traditions of urban planning, designed to show their greatness to foreigners coming to the empire.
By the time when in 2012 in Ukraine and PolandThe European Football Championship was held, the railway between the cities hosting the championship was modernized. On it let high-speed express trains. Unfortunately, Odessa this honor passed, therefore, the express message Lviv-Odessa does not exist.
Only three routes
But there are three trains available that linkWestern capital of Ukraine and South Palmyra. The small number of routes confirms all of the above - moving between western and southern Ukraine is not in demand.
Like all other routes, the main train“Lviv — Odessa” at number 026Л leaves its hometown in the evening, and in the morning of the next day it arrives at the “Pearl by the Sea” station. Departure is at 20:40, arrival is at 8:50 the next day. On the way, the train is ten minutes longer than twelve hours.
Faster than the main train by as much as three minutesanother train, Lviv — Odessa, is moving along the route. Arriving in South Palmyra at 9:44, and departure from the Lviv railway station at 21:37. True, this composition is sent to Odessa through Lviv in transit. The beginning of his glorious path are Chernivtsi. This train at number 136Л bears the name "Chernomor".
But the record for time on the routeis the next train Lviv — Odessa — the night train. Route 107L, called “Hadzhibey”, is named after the predecessor city of Odessa, at 0:42, and resides in South Palmyra at 12:35. That is, the road is seven minutes to twelve hours. And, by the way, this train is also transit, and begins its route in the Transcarpathian Uzhgorod.
It should be clarified that the train Lviv — Odessa, as well as Uzhgorod — Odessa, runs daily. But the train Chernivtsi-Odessa from March 2 begins to run every other day on a pair of numbers.
