The alternative on this route is the bus: roughly 12–14 hours. The bus is usually cheaper and runs more often, but depends more on traffic and border queues.
This is an international route, so border control adds to the travel time — how much depends on the day and the crossing. Leave a buffer if you have an onward connection.

For Ukrainian Railways trains to Hungary and Austria, sales open at 08:00 Kyiv time, 20 days before departure. If a date further than 20 days out shows nothing, sales simply have not opened yet; it does not mean there is no train.
It depends on the day and crossing load: trains are usually faster and more predictable, buses can take from one to several hours. Leave a buffer for tight connections.
Ukrzaliznytsia opens sales 20 days before departure (10 for some eastern routes); European carriers set their own rules — RegioJet, for example, opens 60 days ahead. The best seats and fares go in the first days of sales. With flexible dates, also check 2–7 days before departure — returned tickets often reappear then.
