Obecna sytuacja infrastruktury kolejowej na Słowacji

Dear Customers,

Based on information from the railway infrastructure manager of the Slovak Republic, ŽSR, on 14/05/2025 in the early morning hours, rail transport behind the Poprad railway station was completely stopped due to a threat to the safety of rail transport during the removal of the road bridge over the track.

According to preliminary information from ŽSR, this regulation will last until 08:00 a.m. on 17/05/2025.

For this reason, we had to cancel 1 pair of trains between our terminals Dunajska Streda and Kosice. We are presently organising a replacement connection between these terminals via an alternate way via Hungary. Delays should be expected.

At the same time, on 14/05/2025 in the morning hours, a passenger car collided with a train on the line between Bratislava and Dunajska Streta, and for this reason, rail transport on this section was stopped during the day shift.

The extended lockout activity at the Bratislava railway junction, where sections of the line are completely closed at certain time intervals, besides has a crucial impact on the timeliness of our company’s rail transport.

Due to these events, it is essential to anticipate delays in planning your shipments and additional trains will be planned taking into account the capacity of the Slovak railway infrastructure.

If you have any questions regarding the current scheduling of your shipments and transit times, delight do not hesitate to contact our client Service Department.
