The "Magic Express" will run in the capital
"Magic Express" trains are being prepared for departure in Kyiv and Lviv — enchanting retro trains powered by steam locomotives, with journeys lasting from one to one and a half hours in the designated cities.
This was reported by “Ukrzaliznytsia”.
As noted, the Christmas express trains in Kyiv will depart twice daily from January 1 to 5: on weekdays at 16:30 and 19:00, and on weekends at 9:40 and 12:32.
Passengers will be greeted on the platform by a professional photographer who will take free photos next to the historic steam locomotive, and for the youngest passengers, there will be an entertainment program with animators and gifts in the carriages.
Notably, all rides will be free, and 80% of the seats will be allocated to children from temporarily displaced families, children of defenders, railway workers, police officers, rescuers, and other social categories.
Reminder, the Kyiv Children's Railway has opened winter train services in Syrets Park.
