Travels 2016 – Part I (Ukraine in March: Kiev & Chernihiv)

Our first visit to Ukraine (the first of many to come). Of course there is lots to see in Kiev. We also did a daytrip by car from Kiev to Chernihiv.

day 1 + 2 – Київ/Kyjiw (Kiew/Kiev) – Western system with visit to future museum at old bus depot no. 3 plus depot visits to new Shevchenko and Podils’ke (ex Krasin) tramway depots

day 3 – Київ/Kyjiw (Kiew/Kiev) – Eastern system with visit to old Darnyts’ke tramway depot which is now used mainly for storage and scrapping but also still includes the museum exhibition and some of the other museum vehicles plus visit to new trolleybus depot no. 1 and brief visit to Kurenivs’ke trolleybus depot which is really depot no. 4 but goes only by the name Kurenivs’ke; also the small PW yard south of Podils’ke depot

day 4 – Чернігі (Chernihiv/Tschernigau) – with depot visit and coffee in the only canteen trolleybus we saw during our travels (it usually sits at the northern line 1 terminus)
