Changes in Budapest-Slovenia railway timetables

Passengers travelling by train from Budapest to Slovenia should expect changes due to the heavy rains and flooding that hit the country, the Hungarian State Railways, MÁV, announced.

According to MÁV, based on the Slovenian Railways, the following changes are expected.

• All international trains are in service. On the Celje-Ljubljana section, replacement buses are used for part or all of the journey.
• Occasionally passengers may have to change trains at Hodos and/or Maribor. Travel times will increase significantly on all routes.
• The Citadella international daytime train typically runs between Budapest and Celje, from where you have to take a replacement bus.
• One of the trains of the Istria international overnight train remained in Ljubljana and is now running between Koper/Rijeka-Ljubljana. The other train will run between Budapest and Hodos-Maribor-Celje, depending on the situation. Passengers who have booked a sleeper or berth should expect to be unable to travel the night as per the service they have booked.
• Bicycle transport is not possible due to the replacement buses.
