Yes, reports IA QHA, on Wednesday, the first train from Urozhainy to Simferopol, which was scheduled to arrive at 07.17, stopped at the station at almost 8 o’clock. On Tuesday, an electric train from Dzhankoy, whose scheduled arrival time was 07.40, arrived at its final destination more than an hour late - at 8.30. The third morning train to Simferopol - from Salt Lake - is late with enviable consistency - it consistently arrives in the city at 9.00, whereas before - at 8.32 in the morning. From the Elevatornaya station, instead of the previous hour, the travel time to the Crimean capital, passengers complain, is now one and a half hours.
Meanwhile, every day thousands of people travel by train from the regions of Crimea to Simferopol - mostly students and Crimeans working in the capital, as well as those who decided to use the services of the Crimean Railway for personal purposes. People began to be late for classes or work every day without good reason.
Let us remind you that last Friday on the air of the ITV channel acting. the head of the Crimean Railway, Andrei Karakulkin, said that its track facilities and rolling stock had come to “terrible condition».
“Choose any car - and we have more than 300 of them - they have completely passed their service life. There is no point in repairing them or spending money on them, because they, these cars, are simply outdated. Moreover, when Roszhelnadzor made its conclusion, and this is officially reflected in the act, our speed was reduced in many areas to 40 km/h, in some areas – to 25, and to 10 km/h. This is almost a terrible state. Today this increases our costs. We are increasing the salaries of our drivers and increasing the transit time. That is, the train schedule is increasing by at least 40 minutes,” said Andrey Karakulkin.
Meanwhile, from November 1, the schedule of commuter trains in Crimea is changing. Now trains will officially run from Dzhankoy to Simferopol an average of half an hour longer.
