The State railways administration Ukrzaliznytsia on November 16 will conduct a tender to supply 18 Ukraine-2 wagons, Viktor Ostapchuk, the head of the territorial department of Pivdenna Railways, told journalists in Kremenchuk (Poltava region).

According to Ostapchuk, the wagons will be used on the Kyiv-Kharkiv section of Pivdenna Railways.

"A tender to supply 18 wagons will take part on November 16. I think these will be Ukraine-2 [wagons]. The wagons of the Kyiv express train will be replaced. Old wagons will be used on other routes, in particular, from Kremenchuk towards Odesa. I think Kriukov Car Building Works is likely to win," he said.
