Slovak Rail Operator Warns of Frequent Delays as Summer Heat Strains Train Network

Slovakia's national rail operator is advising passengers to adjust their travel plans during the current period of extreme heat, warning that delays will be frequent across the network. While not discouraging travel outright — including for families with children — the company recommends choosing morning or evening trains to avoid the worst of the high temperatures. Not all carriages are affected equally by the heat, but passengers should expect disruptions across services during peak daytime hours.
