Here You go.

Date: 2.11.2010
Memorandum signed on purchase of Hyundai high-speed trains for EURO 2012

A protocol of intention was signed yesterday in the city of Changwon (South Korea) on the Ukrainian government's intention to buy 6 high-speed trains from the South Korean company Hyundai.

Ukrainian Vice Prime Minister Borys Kolesnikov signed the protocol on behalf of the Ukrainian side, who heads the delegation on talks about the purchase of trains, a correspondent of the Information centre Ukraine-2012 reports from Changwon. During EURO 2012 this trains will cover the Kyiv-Donetsk, Kyiv-Lviv and Kyiv-Kharkiv routes. They will eventually connect other Ukrainian cities.

The maximum speed is 180 km per hour, which will enable travel time between host cities to be cut by a third. The time to travel from Kyiv to Donetsk will be cut from 12 to 8 hours and from Kyiv to Kharkiv from 6 to 4 and from Kyiv to Lviv from 6.5 hours to 5 hours. As a rule, these trains will consist of 6 coaches: three class I (42—48 passengers) and three class ІІ (64—68 passengers). One train can take up to 368 passengers.

According to preliminary calculations, the price of tickets will be comparable to those which exist today between host cities. Hyundai trains do not require special rails and are completely adapted to Ukrainian rail track.

Or, more properly, "History of railway development in Ukraine". Some of the lines were not developed by Ukraine, correct?

Thank, you. It was easy to guess.

But at 180km/h, those are not high speed trains. Only rapid or fast trains.

Thats nothing. compare it with problems of Romanian railways.
Massive layoffs, summed delay in 2009 was 3 years (sick!), and huge financial losses.

"The Global Competitiveness Report 2010-2011" ranked Romanian railways on 70th place. Ukrainian railways are on 25th! In addition they achived profitability in 2009 of 35mln Euro.
In short, today Romanian rail works much much worse than its northern neighbor.

You've answerd one problem. OK so what about huge delays. Did they disappeared suddenly. from day to day?. I doubt that "The Global Competitiveness Report 2010-2011" lies. Polish railway(pos. 62) is just tragic at that point . so we have a lot in common my friend.

I said that the most problem's and delays belong to the romanian state company.They have no target for the future and a very bad management.Becouse is the biggest railway company in romania they have huge delays and appears on your report....

This report ranks general quality of rail infrastructure. nevermind.

"Ukraine railways in 2010 is predicting a net profit in the sum of 600 million UAH. (about 60 mln EUR)"

so we have another example of the national railway, which can be profitable

Indeed yes, therefore I hope that Ukraine railways will do smart investment with this profit in railway and rolling stock.
