Lithuanian and Polish railway companies will launch a regular passenger service between Kaunas and Bialystok in mid-June 2016, following six months of negotiations. Lietuvos Gelezinkeliai and Przewozy Regionalne signed a cooperation agreement with this aim.
This will be the first route between the Lithuanian and Polish cities in 76 years that will be operated without passengers having to change trains.
The talks on the route started after a 120-kilometer section of Rail Baltica from Lithuania’s border with Poland to Kaunas was completed in October 2015.
“The route is being launched on 17 June,” Lietuvos Gelezinkeliai CEO Stasys Dailydka said.
