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.
