Dozens of trains cancelled this week in western Slovakia

The national carrier Železničná Spoločnosť Slovensko (ZSSK) will not dispatch more than 40 trains in the week between January 17 and 21.

ZSSK announced the news on its website, adding that the current situation may change during the day.

Last week, the company cancelled almost 80 trains in western Slovakia because of the shortage of engine drivers.

“ZSSK apologises to travellers for the inconvenience and less comfort when travelling,” the company added.
