Medveja CFM - Larha UZ

[D] CFM operates to Mamalyha. The local service between Ocnita and Chernivitsi was withdrawn by August 2013. In Summer 2014 the nighttrain 117/118 Chernivtsi-Kyiv has been introduced on these transit route trough Moldova from Mamalyha to Larga.

Ocniţa CFM - Sokyriany (Ukraine) - Larha UZ

[D] CFM operates to Larha.

(Ocniţa -) Vălcineţ CFM - Mohyliv-Podil’s’kyi UZ (- Zhmerynka)

(Tiraspol -) Novosavickaia CFM - Kuchurhan UZ (- Rozdil’na)

Note that Tiraspol is the "capital" of Transdniestria. The lines from (Ungheni -) Revaca and from (Căinari –) Căuşeni cross into Transdniestria at Tighina/Bender 2 and Tighina/Bender 1 respectively. Moldova does not recognise Tighina/Bender as a border and does not check trains terminating here. A transport blockade was imposed in 2006 but lifted on 1 October 2010. Thus trains 51/52, 65/66 and 641/642 (Odesa - Chişinău) once again run via this route through Transdniestria. Border checks on these trains are carried out at Bulboaca, one station west of Bender 2.
