Buying Ukraine train ticket on-line was not possible until recent innovation in 2011.
Now, in order to travel around Ukraine by trainyou CAN BUY train tickets ON-LINE directly on Governmental Web-page without any travel agents and other comissioners. Don't believe if somebody says the opposite. I and many travelers already benefit from buying train tickets on-line.
You'll find the cheapest fare for your ticket if you by directly by your own as opposed to numerous offers on-line with double or even trippled prices. Rarely one ticket in Coupe (2nd) class sleeper for the longest ride through the whole country costs more than 200 UAH (18 EUR).
On-line booking system is very new and is available only in Ukrainian and Russian languages. It can look quite complicated in the beginning but believe me that you'll save a lot of time and brain cells staying away from constantly crouded ticket offices.
