“The train is standing in a field, the conductor says – not far from Shepetivka. We are sitting, waiting for a diesel locomotive to take us to the nearest station. Back at 12:00 we were supposed to arrive in Lviv, we had a business meeting there, now it has been cancelled,” the passengers told their sorrows, reports "Lviv Portal".
According to passengers, the train was without power, the carriages were cold, and the toilets were closed.
“The conductor warned us to make less phone calls, since we need to save electricity, and there will be nowhere to charge the phone. For the same reason the toilet is closed. At about 12 o’clock the hot water ran out,” the passengers said.
The press service of Ukrzaliznytsia explained that the failure was caused by icing of the contact network.
