The first train of the Warsaw Metro, series 81, arrived in Kyiv in the morning. In total, 60 wagons will be delivered to the capital of Ukraine. It is reported by Railway Supply magazine with reference to Raport Kolejowy.

Trams

The shipment of the wagons began on the evening of 26 April. Early in the morning the trucks reached the border with Ukraine, from where they proceeded to Kyiv. The free delivery was made possible thanks to the collaboration of the Warsaw Metro and the International Association of Public Transport. All wagons should be delivered before the end of this year.

The received wagons will be used by the operator to repair the existing rolling stock, and some of them will run in the Kyiv metro.
