Four railway lines coming out west, east, south and southeast from Poltava, connect it with Kyiv, Kharkiv and other Ukrainian cities. Usually there would be a few trains per day to your selected destination, see the of Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian railways) for timetable and ticket prices.
There are 2 railway stations: Poltava-Kyivs'ka (Полтава-Київська, also: Київський вокзал, Kyivs'ky vokzal) and Poltava-Pivdenna (Полтава-Південна, Південний вокзал, Pivdenny vokzal). Watch your timetable/ticket carefully, as train may stop only at one of those stations, or both. It would be a good idea for you to buy tickets for your next train (if you haven't bought them in advance) immediately upon your arrival. Both railway stations are well connected with city transport (bus/trolley), however between 10PM and 6AM taxi is the only option.
