In a festive atmosphere in Sevastopol, for the first time in five years, they met a passenger train.
The first passengers arrived from St. Petersburg.
After Ukraine declared the railway blockade of Crimea in 2014, the movement of passenger trains to mainland Russia, to Ukraine and back became impossible.
Two days ago, the railway part of the Crimean bridge, which connected Crimea with the outside world, was commissioned. The event was attended by the President of Russia.
And today at night, the first passenger train St. Petersburg-Sevastopol passed by the Crimean bridge, which arrived in the Hero-City at ten in the morning.
Interestingly, he retained his historical number 7 (8), as before, until the blockade.
