As you, dear and respected readers, may have noticed from my previous posts, not so long ago (a month ago) I returned from a trip to our northern neighbor, the Republic of Belarus. About cities, their appearance, attractions, etc. I told you. And now I would like to tell you about an integral part and one of the integral symbols of any civilized state - the Belarusian railway, especially the system passenger transportation.

Although the Belarusian Railway (hereinafter referred to as BC, short for official name BZD-Belarusian Chygunka) some 25 years ago was part of the same huge railway transport system as the Ukrainian railways (hereinafter UZ, abbreviated from the official name Ukrzaliznytsia), during this period many differences formed between them, about which, basically, this is what will be discussed. So, the first and most important difference lies in the classification of railway transportation. In the vastness of Uzbekistan, a more Soviet system of dividing trains into suburban, night passenger (fast, passenger and express) and daytime passenger (Intercity, regional express and regional train), of which, since independence, only such a thing as a daytime passenger train has appeared." Soviet time trains of this format ran as local ones. In Belarus, during the time of independence, the train classification system has changed dramatically, becoming more modern and European. Former commuter trains changed their name to trains of regional economy class lines, passenger trains began to be divided into trains of interregional economy class lines , business class and international lines. Such concepts as trains of urban and commercial lines also appeared. Each of these subtypes of trains began to have its own markings and colors, the symbols of these subtypes were the types of flowers growing on the territory of Belarus

Now let's move on to such an important factor as the quality of service and service at stations, stations and inside trains. In this regard, important advantages of BC in relation to UZ are a much higher degree of modernization of the country's main stations (interactive electronic displays, better and more modern finishing of ticket offices halls and waiting rooms), the absence of division into suburban, intercity and international ticket offices, the ability to buy a train ticket using a payment card of international systems, the presence of self-service ticket machines at the largest train stations (however, only the owner of a national payment system card can buy a ticket from such a machine , Belkart", which I managed to get burned on once.) The photo below shows the waiting room and ticket office of one of these modernized train stations - the Grodno station.




Most of the largest Ukrainian train stations, reconstructed during the 2000s and 2010s, do not look like after a nuclear war, but clearly do not reach the level of modern ones. Let's just say that such a reconstruction could have been considered ideal in the 70s and 80s last century, but not now
Another important factor in railway transportation is the frequency of trains. In this regard, BC is also significantly ahead of UZ trains, which run at Soviet frequency, there are a large number of direct cars, since Soviet times, not on any branch, not counting some sections on the border with other states, the movement was not cancelled.
The third factor by which UZ and warheads can be compared is the condition of the rolling stock. Here it is also worth noting the advantage of warheads - the majority of rolling stock is interregional and international lines is either new or from KVR. It was a shock for me to see a modern carriage with a vacuum toilet and an electronic display traveling in general mode on a regular train. The rolling stock of regional business class lines and city lines consists entirely of modern Swiss-made trains, the so-called Stadler Flirt.By the way, recently these trains have been produced on
territory of Belarus, in the suburb of Minsk Fanipol

On regional economy class lines, just like our suburban lines, there are mostly good old electric or diesel trains produced by the Riga Carriage Works, although there are also newer examples, such as DP1 (620M) or modernized DR1B

But we also have such examples, so
What can we say that in terms of suburban MVPS, UZ is approximately on the same level as BC. Although this statement is debatable, because Belarusian rolling stock is much better looked after than Ukrainian. The photo below shows a typical electric train of the only depot serving Belarusian electric trains-Minsk PM-9


Another factor by which our railways can be compared are tariffs. We can say with confidence that in Belarus they are quite cheap, more expensive than in Ukraine, but quite adequate to the income of the local population. For 100 km of travel on regional economy class lines BC you will pay 16,800 Belarusian rubles (21.84 UAH, 60.66 rubles), while in Ukraine (in the vastness of, for example, the Lvov railway) it will cost 15 hryvnia (11,538 Belarusian rubles, 41.6 rubles).
So, it is logical that having discussed all the advantages of the Belarusian Railway, we can calmly move on to its disadvantages. The first and most important of them is the high degree of negligence of the control workers; on the evening train to Minsk there may be no controllers or conductors at all. Or they may simply sit in the carriage and not once during the entire trip go to check or sell tickets. None of Belarusian railway stations It is not a separate station; none of them have such a thing as passenger control. Also not a very pleasant fact is the absence of glasses in the cup holders in most carriages and the absence of many types of social benefits in a state that declares itself to be social.
But in general terms, we can say with confidence that warhead is still constantly progressing, it has a more or less bright present and a good and clear future, which, alas, cannot be said about its native UZ.
