Kramatorsk is a smoky industrial city in Donbass, and a major railway junction. According to Google Travel, I can now reach Kramatorsk by rail from Hertfordshire (where I live) in just... 56 hours and 35 minutes. That highly hypothetical trip would entail 11 train changes. The important thing, however, is that the long-suffering city is again reachable by rail.
