According to MTI, Tisza EuroCity trains will ensure access to Uzhhorod from Vienna and Budapest, while Berehove could be reached by train from Záhony border station, MÁV said.

The development has been facilitated through a cooperation of the railways of Austria, Hungary, and Ukraine, as well as a refurbishment of Ukraine’s railway system, under which the area on the other side of the Hungarian border was linked to the European network through changing the track gauge, the statement said.

Tickets for the new services are available at box offices, while online sales will start in the second half of September, MÁV said.
