I've been really liking your channel. As I've myself moved to the Netherlands for higher education, I was checking out some of the videos about trains here and came across your channel. Now I've seen your videos from Spain, Germany and now Ukraine. Keep up the good work 💪
Thank you so much! Glad your enjoying the videos; Switzerland and another Ukraine coming up in the next 2 weeks 😃🙏🏻
Another good video. Very interesting coaches. It's fun to see a country I haven't been to, but would like to visit.
Thank you Lynne! it's certainly one of the cheapest vs most spacious first classes I've ever been on 😎 Ukraine is WELL worth a visit 🇺🇦👍🏻
Loved every minute of the trip and looking forward to seeing you on the sleeper train as these are definitely my favourite style of travel
Thanks John! My next Ukrainian video will be a sleeper, in maybe 6-8 weeks time 😊
Last time I went to Ukraine was 2016. Watching your video makes me want to come back and see more of this affordable and intriguing country.🤗
Absolutely Peter, is such an experience and great value for money 💲😊
Great video as always and enjoyed watching this trip report! 😊
Thank you Rahill, it's something different isn't it 😎🇺🇦
@@NonstopEurotrip Yes, indeed, but what I found really fascinating was that ginormous engine. 😁
Excellently produced, quite informative -- many thanks!
Ah thank you Jim 🙏🏻
great video. Those coaches are WIDE! really cool to see that kind of gauge and train.
Thank you Joe! Huge aren't they 👍🏻
Great video! I was pleasantly surprised about the train. It looks really comfortable. Beautiful scenery too! I've been to Kyiv many years ago. Looking forward to next weeks ulpoad! :-)
Thank you Cameron! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and yes, the train was pretty ace! 😁
Great video (as always)!!! Thanks for enabling us to travel even when we don't have the funds! ☺️👍
You're very welcome Kerry ☺️
What a great video , I can't get over the size of the train's. I hope the cat's were alright at the other end . Keep up the good work 😊😊.
Absolutely yes! More Ukranian stuff coming up soon ☺️
Great video! I loved the relaxing nature of this trip. ...and WOW, such CLEAN WINDOWS! I don't think I have seen a train video with such clean windows.
Would love to see more train vids from Ukraine. Also, would love to see this same trip in winter. Thanks.
Yeah it was a really good trip! And yes, very clean windows! I might have to do some snowy trains this winter ❄️ ☃️
Being stuck in Australia, with travel almost non existent due to COVID I really enjoy these travel videos, and yours are very good.
Cheers Keith.
You're very welcome Keith! I hope to continue entertaining you every week... I've got some good ones coming up! 😁👍🏻
thoughts and prayers for all the freedom loving people in The Great Southern Land!
Great trip and vid, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it Travis 😊
Great video !!
Thank you 😊
Here, I caught up my delay last night. Thanks, eurotrip nonstop, cool. Can't wait to see your next Ukrainian videos.
Yes Louis! It's such a different 'train culture'. The next one will be in around a month I'd guess!
Watched this one after the Lviv to Kyiv trip you just posted. Next stop: your trip on the sleeper through the Carpathians. Khmelnytskyi station is really quite beautiful if you have an appreciation for that kind of architecture! Thanks for taking us along 🇺🇦
Glad you enjoyed it! I bloody Ukraine, I hope it all settles down so I can go back this year 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Had taken an overnight train to Kherson from the same station in Kyiv in 2006. India has a broader gauge (5' 6""). So the amazing aspect of the train in Ukraine (and in Russia) for me was the height of the coaches. The upper bed in the sleeper has leg room that goes above the corridor (vestibule) making it possible for a tall person (190 cm say) to sleep there stretching his legs. That may be another reason why the compartment appeared so much airy.
Yeah the coaches are HUGE 😃
Nice video, done very well. Congratulations !!! 🔝👍🏻😊
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Thank you for showing the Ukrainian Railways to a large number of spectators. We really need different reviews about our company, especially from such people. Thanks, I liked it!❤
Glad you enjoyed the video 😊🇺🇦
I love that they use English and Ukrainian. I did not see a single Russian word , which is way different from 20 years ago.
It was the law before everything kicked off. No Russian on the railways.
Good video! Out of all the people that do videos about train/planes/bus trips you're one of the best! My friend is going on a trip in Spain and I recommended your channel to her so she can maybe find a good train to travel on! Keep up this amazing work!😁
Also, while I was chilling and watching your italy playlist I noticed that the travel in the intercity day from sicily to naples wasn't there..I don't know maybe it's my phone lagging but I can't find it in your playlist😅 Anyways hope you have a great day!😁
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! And thanks, I have added the Sicily Intercity video to the Italian playlist 😀
What a great surprise!
Thanks 👍🏻😊
I am already totally in love with Ukraine, I have a little family there. You have made my heart beat faster, and my eyes moist. Beautiful, thank you. I look forward to the following videos.🧡🧡🧡
Glad you enjoyed it Tony 😊
Oh wow, that is a W I D E train! Nice to see some of Ukraine, looking forward to the sleeper video!
Thanks! It'll be the next Ukrainian video, probably! ,😁
I love the sounds of travel. And looking out the window. I have done alot of train travel in Europe. Never Ukraine though which has always fascinated me. New subscriber from Australia! Look forward to seeing more in the future. Meanwhile I will look back at your older trips. Thank you. Yes I heard a cat meow or 2.
Ah thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video and hopefully can visit one day! Welcome along ☺️
Very interesting video 👍
Thank you! 😊
They look fairly decent actually. Thank you for the video. I never would have known this
Yes they're pretty good ☺️
I am very surprised about your destination. Khmelnytskyi - my hometown. Welcome back and make a new video about the city. It's always interesting to know the impression from a foreigner about the city you live
It was actually my friend's choice! He wanted to go to Selfie Party Bar, have you been? 😄
@@NonstopEurotrip Dude, I live across the street.
Lovely video! Khmelnystkiy is very close to my home city, great to see this place again!
Haha you're welcome! Where do you live now? It's an interesting little town 🙂
@@NonstopEurotrip I used to live Kamienets Podolskyi, right now I'm in Amsterdam. Also saw your video on that, great stuff! 😁
Ah brilliant! Khm to Ams, an interesting move 😂
something new, very nice
Thanks Darren 🙏🏻
Wow... that's a "Wide Cabin" train, awesome..! I like the "Leg Room" for sure. Cats... he he. That's a pretty decent meal to keep you alive for a 4-hour ride. This is a cool ride, given the economical circumstances of Ukraine.
Yes I was very impressed! I've actually just got off Ukraine's flagship intercity service, and it was even better! 🚅
@@NonstopEurotrip Fabulous, hopefully we can see that video soon...!!
Slawa Ukrajini! A very very nice Video, very good work! I was confirmed by how below average Deutsche Bahn offers its service to its customers. Ukrainian railworkers are heroes nowerdays by the way.
I quite like the catchy electro-pop trap music in the beginning. Stunning views as well.
It divides opinion 😂
@@NonstopEurotrip Yeah it does lol
From Lviv to Kyiv and from Kyiv to Cop via Vinnitsa in 2019. Class "kupej" waggon with "providniks"! A great experience !
Ah excellent 😎🤗
Hi, I use to take this intercity between Kyiv to Kharkiv, so good commuting use and it is worth the low ticket price even in first class, in my opinion is much better to take second class, seats are very comfortable, I take this train by business matters and you can use your laptop all the time without lacks of service.
I recommend taking this Intercity in winter also, you will see the wonderful and huge landscape totally snowed, heating works perfectly and WC is usually very clean.
Despite the distance between these two cities, 450 km, the total trip is 4 hours and twenty minutes usually. If you have the opportunity to do this trip, Kharkiv is the second large city in Ukraine and there are so many good places to pay a visit, spend at least one week.
I did spend a week in Kharkiv this summer, it was excellent! More Ukraine coming up soon ☺️🔜
@@NonstopEurotrip Great !! I spoil you to make more videos, great job done !!
Kyiv!👍
Definitely one of a lot of destinations for 2022😜🚉✈️
It's a lovely place, but Lviv is nicer 😎🇺🇦
I love your videos
Thanks, great. Waiting for more videos about Ukraine
There's another one on the channel already 😊
Since Ukraine is considered a very poor conuntry, I expected the worst. But it looks that the trains are in very good shape... and ticket price is not cheap ! Good review.
Yeah, and these aren't even the best trains! All trains except the Intercities at VERY cheap 🤑
It's not considered "a very poor" country, it's just on the list of developing countries constantly improving in various manners. Ukraine will be in EU in 5-10 years, believe me. The Ukrainian army is already in top-10 amongst the European armies
@@xxxXAstarothXxxx I don't want to start a politics war on this thread, and I do agree that Ukraine is developing, but it certainly won't be in the EU soon. Not until the war situation on the East is definitively solved, and that won't happen anytime soon unfortunately...
@@osasunaitor 😞
@@NonstopEurotripUkraine isn't a poor country, if our enemies and betrays don't steal us, I'm from UA 💙💛. We would be the richest country in the world!
I suppose the larger gauge poses a problem for cross border travel, at least the size of the carriages gives you a chance to have a game of football in them😁😁
Break of gauge border crossings are FUN! I'll have to take a football next time 😂
They used to run passenger trains from Western Europe to Moscow. I saw one on a departure board at Basel Badischer Bahnhof circa 2008; in Spain they have rolling stock that can be regauged in transit, so I presume that they were using something similar.
@@simonc7947 Nope, at the border they lift the whole coach up and fit new bogies. We saw this at Chop on the Ukraine/Slovakia border yesterday! Or the trains that only just cross the border run on dual gauge track.
Proper train though it did seem very loud and creaky.. That loco is a beast. The architecture at the stations is great. Proper mix of brutalism and Communist opulence..
Your camerawork in the toilet was 'interesting'.
Glad you tried the onboard catering.
I was really impressed with everything tbh and the multiple unit ones are even better, videos to come! Dunno what happened in the toilet tbh Mark 🤣 Great architecture, eh 👍🏻
Hi. I really enjoyed this video. My brother's wife is from Ukraine (a small village NE of Kyiv), so it was interesting to get a small taste of the country.
Thank you Paul! I have lots more Ukraine content in the coming months 😁
Great video! This train is interesting and the 1st class seats reminds me the seats on Railjet trains. But the 2nd class in a 2+3 looks a bit horrible :-D Also the meal box is good thing :-) Btw. I like these ČS locomotives :-)
Thank you Pete! It's such an interesting country and I can wait to edit some more vids from here. Massive locos 😁
Thank you for the interesting video. The seats in 1st class and 2nd class area are all from Germany from the company Grammer in Senden near Münster. Personally, I find the 1st class seats in the Asian Hyundai railcar significantly more convenient as they are wider and higher. The German seats are for the 1. Class far too narrow.
Yes, but there's no where near as much legroom! I will have a video on the Hyundai Intercity+ coming up soon 👍
Like all your videos 📹
My dear, the Kyiv main station resembles so much Helsinki central railway station! Nice review anyway 🙏
I will go to Helsinki next year 😃
@@NonstopEurotrip cool! Then I'll recommend you to travel on the commuter trains, trams and the metro. They are currently building a new light rail line outside the city center👍.
PS: If you want to travel outside Helsinki, you can go with IC trains and Pendolino's to other regions and maybe catch a regional train like a Dm12 or Sm2. 🙂
Really enjoyed this one must be an interesting country to travel through 🌏
Very interesting Clare! I'm loving it 🤩
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, I much love Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤️
Thank you so much 😁
Good video
Thank you 🙏🏻
Max … did you have any language communication problems? Torrential rain = clean windows afterwards 👍🏻. If you ever are in Norway, I suggest the Olso-Bergen line and the scenery packed Flam line. 😉
I'd love to do Norway, it's not possible right now so I'll plan it for next year I think. The language barrier isn't much of a problem as my friend can read and speak a bit of Russian, and Google translate is very good 😂🇺🇦
The one that I caught from Vinnytsia to Kyiv was the older stock being 2003. At the end and in the middle of each coach suspended from the ceiling on brackets were TV/video combis. Like you said, so many staff. They came along and put videos in for the journey 😄
My ex said, 'very fast train, 100kph!' I didn't have the heart to tell her that was slower than our local trains 😁
Have you done the Flåm line yet, Myrdal down to Flåm in Norway? Off the main Oslo to Bergen line.
Glad you enjoyed it! I have looked at that line in Norway, we'll see! 🙂
How fascinating.... the station, the rolling stock, the Russian gauge and above all, the landscape. Loved the beautiful video. Thanks much!
I was fascinated too. It's a pretty good railway system tbh, very well used and pretty cheap (for me anyway!) Thanks! 😁
Hello. Names Keith from Pa. I Subscribed to your channel today. I thought this video was Excellent.
Thank you Keith! Be sure to check out my 100+ other videos too 😁
New country :D Very nice.
Good video. Hope to see more videos from Ukraine. Also for me, the trains in Ukraine are a little bit exotic.
New country, new trains, new experiences 😁
Video's Score: 10/10 I’m very pleased you didn’t type Kyiv as Kiev as it’s a pet peeve of mine 😂 But nonetheless beautiful station and loco, I notice that in some former Soviet stations they have some beautiful pictures of battles and other things about Slavic culture 😃
I agree about Kyiv 😂 I've got the Intercity+ flagship train Lviv-Kyiv video coming up next week. I love the Soviet architecture 😎
Nice video. UZ trains are also nice. Were these stations and tracks built before Soviet time? Thankyou!
Yes! Most are from the late 19th century
Great video! Strange they don't have platform signs, isn't that the basic of a station haha
Sometimes they do 🤣
It looked like a very big drop from the carriage to the platform at your destination. Is that what the ladder type steps next to the doors were for? You said that there was a wheelchair accessible carriage b- how do they get wheelchairs in & out?
Yeah it's strange, so platforms are nearly level, but most are very low. Major stations have platform lifts, but unfortunately wheelchair accessibility here is practically non existent...
Thinking about it, I once travelled on a steam railway in Schwarzwald (the Black Forest,) called the Sauschwänzlebahn (Pig's Tail Railway.) If you look at it on a map, you will realise how it got that nickname. There was a very big step up to the carriages there. My mum said that when she went on a school trip to Paris in the early 1960s, the French trains were similar. Maybe that was once the norm on continental railways? Do any rail historians reading know?
@@simonc7947 That sounds right, accessibility just wasn't a requirement/though. Ukraine is probably the least accessible country I've been to so far...
There are special ramps for wheelchairs in all intercity trains. Including this type of cars.
Lots of room to stretch out and relax. I’d like to see the sleeper car accommodations next. Also, like to know how far can one travel on the system. For example if you can go to other countries…ie Germany, Poland etc. using the system to connect.
Absolutely yes! The next Ukrainian video will be a sleeper train. In non covid times you can travel on direct trains to Warsaw and Vienna on sleeper trains or change at the borders with Hungary, Slovakia or Romanian on local cross border trains 👍🏻
Great report! @6:20 are you sure those seats are comfortable? They don't look very comfortable, especially for an 8 hour trip to Kolomyya (which I have coming up). I may drive instead from Moldova or Romania or even Slovakia, although you cannot bribe police for speeding any more nor can I sit back and drink vodka and have naps if driving. Anyways again great video I am glad you tried the catering!
Perfectly comfortable. They're the same seats used on highspeed trains in Germany 👍🏻
Great video, loved the cat sounds, 🐈🐈🐈I wondered where they were coming from! I’d definitely want to travel in 1st looking at the standard coaches especially the chaos around the cafe bar area. Fantastic value meal, I would have paid maybe an extra 50p for someone to go and get it for me though 😂 and I reckon the cats probably smelt the food - harsh!
Lots of character on that train though, somewhere else to add to the list 👍 Awesome!
I sent Albie to get my food 😂
First was definitely preferable over Second. It was just chaos lol. They've got Intercity EMUs too, obviously videos will be forthcoming 👍🏻 Yeah that cats were funny, fine at first then I think they got bored lol 🐈
@@NonstopEurotrip glad he’s looking after you! 🤣
Those coaches looked relatively modern. I bet the heavy reliance on freight is what causes bad track conditions.
Yes, you're probably right!!
Well, ukraine is the 7th biggest freight transporter per rail in the world. So, its not suprising. Many tracks are being reconstructed though right now and stations also get reconstructed like the Lviv Rail station, which got a complete reconstruction. Kyiv railway station is probably the least modern of all railway stations in Ukraine and the second South entrence into the railway station is pretty hated.
@@fleekrushyt9410 I don't believe the Lviv station was reconstructed, only the plaza before it
Do you go sightseen at your destinations or just ride the rails and back?
Always sight see, otherwise what a waste of time! ☺️
It's pretty bright even at eight in the night.
It doesn't get dark until after 9 this time of year 👍🏻
would have loved some video of the Kitties lol
Sorry 😅😅😅
Your engine the Behemoth looks like a TIGER!
Amazing isn't it ☺️
Thanks for sharing the great video. How did you pick the destination? The city is quite obscure for non Ukrainians.
My friend picked it at random. We like to see lesser known places 😁
I am like your video and I am subscribe your channel I love your video and Europe I love you
I am watch a all video and I like your video and I like your channel I am subscriber your
Thanks 👍🏻
Good on you for using Kyiv instead of Kiev as many media unfortunately still do.
Always 🙏🏻
I live in Ukraine and use these trains a lot. But from Kryvyi Rih to Kyiv and back.
Oh wow, we were going to go to Kryvvi Rih, but ran out of time 😢 Is it as 'long' as people say? 😂
@@NonstopEurotrip No, it is only 80 km not 120 km as people say.
That's still very long 😂
I am from India I am big fan friend your CZcams channel
Here I am, like every Friday, to watch, rate and comment on this video
8:10 It's a Low-Medium Speed Train, but Who cares about Ukraine apart from Chernobyl?
19:40 Video's final score: 8.9
Thank you Pedro! I care about Ukraine 😉
You don’t really realise it in videos but if you see Slavic trains in real life you’ll be devastated by their size
Absolutely MASSIVE 😃
I'd be sitting next to the cats. I'm a crazy cat guy.
😂🐈
@@NonstopEurotrip It's true lol
good movie as always, only when Poland?
I'll be in Poland in September 👍🏻
@@NonstopEurotrip okey
spacious coaches - benefit of the ''Russian'' broad gauge
Exactly 😊
Nice to see, that they Invest in some modern stock.
Most of their other trains are from Soviet times and in very bad condition. Time to renovate/replace
But the Ukrainian tracks are a disaster for themselves and their is currently no hope for improvement
Yes this was pretty good and the Elektrichkas are bad but most of the other trains, I've been impressed with. Except 3rd class 🤣
Tracks are actually being renovated...
Like from Ukrainian. But you should have tried night train, e.g. Kyiv - Rakhiv or some regional train. In that case =, you definitely would have felt the atmosphere.
Thanks! I've done Kharkov to Uzghorod, is that long enough for you? 😂👍🏻
@@NonstopEurotrip now you know all the pain people feel :-)
Me and my friend enjoyed it 😊
U arrived at the destination at 20.54. So if. I'm not wrong it's almost 9PM. So when does it get darker over there? At 10?🙄
Yes, around 22:00 in August
The seats do very much like the old ICE seats.
They are 😂
When will you back to Valencia?
Next week 😉
@@NonstopEurotrip ok
8:42 that's funny, it's the exact opposite in spain: the public freight division is very poorly managed and loses millions every year. It's only the passenger high-speed services that bring some revenue
I thought the AVEs lost money...
@@NonstopEurotrip yeah, the least demanded routes do, but the main routes (Madrid to Barcelona, Seville and Valencia) generate revenue according to the latest data, so the overall result is positive. It's important because Renfe's high-speed services are not subsidised by the state, unlike regional and commuter lines
@@osasunaitor Thanks good then 😎🇪🇦
Interstingly you did not show a glimpse or even mention the ("open air") railway museum located right at the station (easily visible from the platform access bridge and right next to and accessible from track number 1 ...
I hadn't actually been at the time of filming this! However it will feature in my next Kyiv video, even though it's not that great 😂
@@NonstopEurotrip I know it´s not "great" but still ...
At least it´s easily accessible when you´re at the station anyway as it is located next to track/platform 1.
Track 1 is the one next to the main station building, so it's actually the other side... Track 6, I believe...
Kiyv's main station is magnificent but I guess that it needs little refubishment (of course, Ukraine doesn't have too much money right now). Am I the only one who thinks it? :-)
I think that's fair. It's still a fantastic building though 🙂
Great video! You have selected not the best destination though :)
Khmelnytskyi is a crap of a city. You'd have better chosen Lviv, if decided to go west. It's of the most beautiful European cities
Next Ukraine video is Lviv-Kyiv IC+ 😊
@@NonstopEurotrip Lviv train station is certainly worth checking 😀
It was a very nice city, thank you very much.
What a magnificent station at Kyiv - shame it has been infected with the KFC/McDonalds disease, though.
I know! At least it's just the posters and the restaurants have been banished outside! 😂
@@NonstopEurotrip I didn’t realise the restaurants were not inside, that is a plus. I hope that the railway gets some useful revenue from those huge posters, as they are such an eyesore in that beautiful building.
@@timweather3847 Completely agree 🙏🏻
I think they should install better seats in first class, these ones are the same as in second🤔
They're the same seats that the German ICE trains have with different padding.
will there be more videos about Ukraine?
LOTS more 😄👍🏻
@@NonstopEurotrip i'm from Russia and we have Ukraine border
Good morning I love you to
I think these seats are almost the same as in the IC and ICE 1 and 3 in Germany
They are, yes 👍🏻
@@NonstopEurotrip 😁👍🏻
Yes. I am vegetarian for many years 100%. Even when a child I ate mostly vegetarian : fruit, dairy, oatmeal, chocolate, cake from Finkelstein's Mom and Pop shop. Now, I'm vegan except for Clover local totally sustainable free roaming California cows.
As for the Station, It's Gawjeus as Belle said in that eponymous book : "Belle" : something wicked this way comes.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Hyundai Rotem review incoming?
Absolutely 😉
i saw the half life train and i clicked
😂😂😂
05:06 Claramente a senhora fala "isso é um absurdo" em ucraniano
UZ is far away from perfect for sure. But since the full-scale war started it has become our artery of life. It evacuates, it employs veterans, it’s the only transportation (except private vehicles, of course), that connects people inside Ukraine and Ukraine with the rest of the world. For me, the main problem of the UZ is the accessibility for disabled people. It’s always been a problem actually but now it’s more visible than ever. But UZ is doing its best and working on it
Absolutely 💯😁 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
It is a good thing Ukrain have a good Railways, to get people out to the borders to the west!
Absolutely yes 😊
Sad to think now mid-March 2023 - so much is gone.
🥹🥹🥹
Your Ukranian video's are wonderful, what a lovely country. Such a shame some maniac has caused so much harm 😞
I know right 😭
А ничего, что украинские маньяки 8 лет обстреливали Донбасс и Россия просила Украину не входить в НАТО? А ваши маньяки (западные) делали всё, чтобы это произошло.
We're you not a little nervous about being in Ukraine due to the security situation?
Honestly I've felt safer here than some places in London or Paris. Although I've not been to any of the 'war zones', obviously... 👍🏻
