[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Here is coverage from "The Beeb" on train travel WITHIN Ukraine: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60866389 fair Use: [i][list] [*]The air raid alarm in the station tower has just started: no bombs are falling, but nerves are fraying. The guard tells us to shelter with the refugees in the tunnel under the platform. There are several thousand people here, in a long queue. We wait among the anxious and exhausted, the families calming scared children, the elderly woman wrapped in a blanket and pulling a suitcase. She looks as if she cannot possibly walk another step. But she will trudge forward when the all-clear is given. This is not a place of options. Go forward, or run the risk of the war catching up with you. Then a horn blares. A searchlight appears down the track to the east, a looming brilliance that grows larger as it approaches. Another horn sounds, followed by a conductor's whistle cutting through the clamour of the air raid sirens. A murmur ripples through the crowd. The all-clear is declared, and they can board a train to Poland.[/i] [/list] [/QB][/QUOTE]
