Two Central European rail companies plan to increase their China-EU trains through Ukraine to once a week. Rail Cargo Group, a subsidiary of Austrian Federal Railways, ÖBB, says its new route through Ukraine is the fastest way to deliver containers from China to Central and Southeastern Europe. Similarly, Martin Kubeck, business development director of Metrans, a Czech company, says the Ukraine route is now the fastest to Central Europe. This is partly due to geography and partly due to congestion at the rail gauge break at the Poland-Belarus border.
