A new international railway route over 1,300 kilometers long is being launched in Europe, which will be one of the longest direct services on the continent. This is reported by Euronews.
Leo Express, a private rail and bus operator headquartered in Prague, announced the launch of the connection on June 25th. Tickets will start from 10 euros. The route will connect Germany, the Czech Republic, and Poland and will extend to the border with Ukraine.
How it will run
The train will run daily in both directions and will pass through key European cities:
Przemysl (near the border with Ukraine) – Krakow – Ostrava – Prague – Dresden – Leipzig – Erfurt – Frankfurt am Main – Frankfurt Airport.

Thus, the route will connect major cities in Central and Western Europe with a border city in eastern Poland.
Schedule
In the western direction, the train will depart from Przemyśl at 13:31 and arrive at Frankfurt Airport the next day at 7:53.
In the opposite direction, departure from Frankfurt is at 8:27, arrival in Przemyśl is at 02:23 the next day.
According to Leo Express CEO Peter Köhler, this connection "removes barriers between Western and Eastern Europe" and provides access to Ukraine through border hubs.
The company also emphasizes that the arrival time at Frankfurt Airport allows for convenient transfers to European and international flights.
Onboard the train will be available:
• Wi-Fi;
• outlets for charging devices;
• air conditioning;
• drinks and light snacks.
We remind you that for the summer period "Ukrzaliznytsia" is increasing the number of train services through Lviv and switching some popular routes to daily service.
