According to the Ukrainian Ministry of Infrastructure, Ukraine and Romania are resuming railway communication on the Rakhiv – Dilove – Valea Viseului section. Ukrzaliznytsya has already made the first test run in this direction, and in December, it is planned to launch passenger trains.

"The opening of the railway passenger service on the border between Ukraine and Romania is expected in early December. The route will be operated by a comfortable regional train DPKr-3 built in Ukraine," said Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Oleksandr Kubrakov.

He added that the travel time from Rakhiv to the Romanian Vali-Viseului would be approximately 40 minutes, excluding customs procedures, and border and customs control would be carried out on board the train upon boarding.

Ukrzaliznytsia plans to operate two connections a day with the possibility of transferring passengers to trains of the Romanian railway CFR. Trains run daily from Vali-Viseului to the Sighet, Cluj, and Bucharest stations.
