MOSCOW, August 10 (RIA Novosti) – The good thing about trains is, you can always be sure about where they go.
Well, not anymore.
An express train in Ukraine took the wrong turn and ended up in the wrong city earlier this week, local media reported Friday.
Instead of Zaporozhye in central Ukraine, the train from Lviv arrived to Dnepropetrovsk, 85 kilometers north of the supposed destination, Vgorode.ua said.
Passengers cited train staff as saying a traffic controller directed the train the wrong way when trying to lead it around repair works on the railroad, the report said.
Railroad officials declined comment, Comments.ua news website said. No compensation or transportation to the original destination was offered to the passengers, who were unloaded in Dnepropetrovsk and left to fend for themselves, reports said.
