JSC “Ukrzaliznytsia” with the support of the European Union opened an updated train control point on the border with Poland, which was moved to Mostyska II station. This was reported by the company’s press service. “If earlier they could inspect six freight trains per day, now up to 15. That is, these are new opportunities for increasing the volume of freight transportation and speeding up passenger trains,” said Oleksandr Pertsovsky, the chairman of the board of Ukrzaliznytsia. Prior to the implementation of this project, the border inspection of trains going from Ukraine to Poland was carried out on the Mostysk – State border line, and the average time of control operations for one train was almost two hours.

This project was implemented thanks to the parity co-financing of the Connecting Europe Facility program and the European Investment Bank. “The modernization of the crossing point in Mostysk II is another step forward in improving railway connections, strengthening Ukraine’s ties with the EU, and increasing passenger and cargo transportation,” commented EU Ambassador to Ukraine Katarina Maternova.
