MOSCOW, June 5. /TASS/. The train service on the Tavria and Tavria Express lines to Crimea, which had been suspended in the Voronezh Region, has resumed, whereas five trains operated by Grand Service Express are delayed, the carrier reported.

Russian Railways later reported that one track had reopened and that work was underway to restore traffic on the second track.
