This story begins with the schedule at the capital's central railway station, where the names of the cities to which trains do not go yet: Kerch, Melitopol, Donetsk, Mariupol, Luhansk, Sevastopol, Yevpatoria, glow in yellow on the electronic board. But they are remembered and won back. The railway is the first, after the army, to enter the de-occupied territories, repairing the tracks as it goes. Responsible for the safety of transportation of the first persons of allied countries and world stars to our capital. Rescues, provides shelter, provides the army and the defense industry. Gives hope and unites. Ukrainian journalist Marichka Paplauskaite traveled more than 8,000 kilometers and conducted 40 interviews to understand how the railway managed to become a symbol of resistance. Why is there only one train running between Kyiv and Warsaw even in the midst of a full-scale war? How did the railway become the main tool of the volunteer movement and how did it build the world's first medical resuscitation trains for evacuating the wounded? Who organized Joe Biden's visit to Kyiv? And is it true that the Ukrainian railway still has connections with Russia? "The Train Arrives on Schedule" are real stories of people who go above and beyond every day to keep the country's main artery running smoothly.
