Russian Railways cancels trains to Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Ukraine

December 8, 2014 Federal Passenger Company, a subsidiary of Russian Railways, has canceled passenger trains to several CIS states, including Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Ukraine.

New schedule will be valid starting from December 14th, 2014. The decision was taken ‘as a part of adjusting the 2014-2015 schedule and is related to the low profitability of these routes’ - a representative of Russian Railways said, but he also stated that trains can be added later, if appears necessary. Changes in schedule didn’t affect passenger trains to Belarus, Uzbekistan, Moldova and Abkhazia.
