Belarusian Railways Replaces Business-Class Trains on Minsk–Brest Route With Regular Carriages

Belarusian Railways has once again withdrawn EPm-series business-class trains from one of its routes. They will be replaced by trains consisting of locomotive-hauled passenger carriages.

According to the Belarusian Railways press center, the changes will affect the following services:

• From March 13, 2026 — train No. 733 Minsk–Brest, departing Minsk at 17:21 and arriving in Brest at 21:06.
• From March 14, 2026 — train No. 734 Brest–Minsk, departing Brest at 06:34 and arriving in Minsk at 10:41.

The decision is explained by the need to carry out unscheduled repairs.

“Please note that due to the need to arrange seating for passengers in the designated rolling stock, the purchase of travel documents for these trains may be temporarily unavailable in the Belarusian Railways ticketing systems and sales offices. Passengers are advised to periodically check updated information in the unified ‘Services for Passengers’ section on the official Belarusian Railways website and in the ‘BC.My Train’ mobile application.

Passengers who previously purchased tickets for the specified trains will be reimbursed the difference in fare upon contacting Belarusian Railways ticket offices,” the statement said.
