traffic

The 38K-040 regional road leads to Tjotkino, which branches off the 38K-017 coming from Kursk in the small town of Rylsk, a good 40 km northeast, and runs through the Gluschkowo district center. There is a road border crossing south of the village , from which the road in Ukraine leads as the T-19-06 territorial road to Bilopillja , about 15 km away , where there is a connection to the R44 regional road from Hluchiw to Sumy .

In Tjotkino there was a train station at kilometer 108 of the railway line from Druzhba (station Chutir-Mychajliwskyj ) to Vorozhba , which opened in 1895 as a narrow-gauge railway with a different route in the northern part and was converted to broad-gauge in the 1920s . After the break-up of the Soviet Union , the line experienced a decline in the 1990s, as it crossed the state border between Russia and Ukraine six times; the southern two thirds of the route with Tjotkino was finally shut down in the late 2000s. A narrow-gauge network established in the 1910s with routes from Tjotkino to the west and east existed until the 1970s at the latest, serving mainly to transport sugar beet and peat for the sugar factory.
