Luhansk railway station is a junction railway station in Luhansk, Ukraine. It is currently operated by Railways of Novorossiya.

History

The history of the station began in 1878 with the opening ceremony of the Donetsk coal railway, which covered 389 miles, crossing open areas such as Mykytivka (in Horlivka) –Debaltseve–Dovzhanska, Debaltseve, Popasna–Kramatorsk and Donetsk–Luhansk, which came to Luhansk from the Southwest.[3]

The Donetsk Railway was managed from Luhansk until 1934, when the office moved to Donetsk.[4]

Trains

Because of the Russo-Ukrainian War,[5] all the long-distance trains ceased operating and only 2 restored trains, operated by the Luhansk People's Republic, continue to terminate at the station:

In May 2024, the Yasinovataya-Luhansk train service was resumed up to the Makeevka station.[6]
