Compared to other main railway stations in the surrounding countries, the station in Bratislava – still in a deplorable state – remains a disgrace according to many.
Despite cosmetic improvements to Bratislava’s main railway station having been carried out in the past, its complete makeover – plans for which have been floating about for two decades - has not happened to date.
The management of the national rail infrastructure operator, Železnice Slovenskej republiky (ŽSR) is now talking about a restart, aimed at the elimination of the bad image of the capital city’s main station in the eyes of passengers.
