“Two stations on the border with Romania were opened at once. Rakhiv – Berlebash – the state border and Teresva – the state border. (…) These two stations open up prospects for new passenger routes – interregional connections between Uzhhorod and Ivano-Frankivsk and Chernivtsi, as well as international routes between Ukrainian and Romanian cities, both from the side of Uzhhorod, and from the side of Ivano-Frankivsk and Chernivtsi,” Kamyshin said in Telegram.

However, he said, this will be possible immediately after the Romanian colleagues repair their part of the station.
Until then, suburban diesel train No. 6441/6442 Kolomyia — Rakhiv — Kolomyia, whose route has already been extended to the Dilove station on the border with Romania, will run on this section.
The head of Ukrzaliznytsia said that these two sections will become the third and fourth junctions on the border with Romania in the future – “the busiest direction”. “Their opening will allow an additional 6 pairs of freight trains to be sent on it every day. This is an additional 3.5 million tons of cargo per year,” Kamyshin added.
