Abstract
The railway communication Poland–Ukraine condition, despite a number of difficulties (different rail gauge, Ukraine is not a member of the EU, etc.), could be described as optimistic in last time and considerable growth dynamics is observed, both in the passenger and freight divisions. Former transshipment areas, built for military use before 1989, have either been adapted for civilian use or dismantled. In addition, the Ukrainian economy has got several percent of growth over the last two years, which causes automatically increasing volume of rail transport, and trade with neighboring countries, including Poland. Most volume of import from Ukraine to Poland is iron ore or crude steel, which is transported by rail today (the railway is an ideal way of transport of bulk goods over long distances). About 1.0–1.5 million citizens of Ukraine live or studying in Poland for 2–3 years, so improving passenger communication has become a priority for both PKP and UZ operators, and the effects are positively evaluated by operators from both countries (for instance, new IC train Kyiv–Lviv–Przemysl). The advantage of the railway in the Polish-Ukrainian transport is that the journey which time is considerably lower than that of a car or a bus, which comes from the possibility of implementing a more efficient border check on the train board in comparison to other ones. The new project, now at the stage of discussion between PKP and UZ, is to join to the New Silk Route program.
