Christmas Express in Kyiv!
Today at 13:28 we saw the departure of a real steam locomotive for the first time in our lives! We already had attempts to get on steam locomotives in a couple of countries, but they did not match either in terms of dates or along the route. I'm used to describing the wow effect of certain travel quirks, but today the Christmas Express brought that effect to the max. Highly recommend!
Tomorrow, 01/09/2022 at 13:28 (the date is already in the past) it will also depart from platform number 1, Kyiv-Passenger station. You can fully enjoy its departure from the second platform for free (as we did) or you can ride it for a small price by buying tickets on the railway website on the route Kyiv pass - Demeevskaya (but the tickets are already over, if they don’t suddenly add another car ). But personally, our opinion is that the most spectacular thing is not to ride, but to look at the departure from the side in order to see all the greatness and power : )
