The heads of the Russian Railways and the Republic of Komi discussed issues of transport communication with the region during the railway's rehabilitation works.
The CEO of the Russian Railways, Oleg Belozrov, and the head of the Comedian Republic, Rostislav Goldstein, held a working meeting in Moscow. The parties discussed the organization of uninterrupted passenger traffic, as well as the provision of essential cargo to the region in connection with the suspension of traffic in the Cheremukha-Viled section in the Arkhangelsk region.
A schedule for restoration work is now being developed. Transportation of railway passengers between Solvychegodsk and Viled stations is organized by buses in close cooperation with the administration of the Arkhangelsk region. Oleg Belozerov noted that he is in constant contact with the governor of the region, Alexander Tsibolsky.
After traveling by bus, the passengers continue their journey by train. Currently, the company is doing everything to minimize the transfer time and subsequently also the time of the trains en route. At the Viled station, heated tents are set up and volunteers are working to help passengers with their luggage.
Delivery of essential cargo to the region will also be organized in an integrated method that includes motorized transport.
Transport support in the regions is under the special control of Russian Railways.
