A small number of services on the Bratislava - Trnava route run to Bratislava-Nové Mesto rather than Bratislava hlavná stanica: they are clearly marked in table 120. Interestingly, this route contains the only burrowing (flying) junction used by passenger services in Slovakia.

This international route and the station area at Chop are dual gauge 1435/1520 mm. Public passenger services (2 return journeys daily) are 1435 mm gauge, operated by ŽSR. Freight traffic uses the 1520 mm gauge tracks to and from the gauge-changing and transfer facilities in the Čierna nad Tisou area.


As well as the public passenger trains, ŽSR operates unadvertised staff trains on this route. Whilst they most probably run on the 1435 mm gauge lines, the service utilizes a former class 810.8 railcar and there is a slight possibility this runs on the 1520 mm gauge lines from Čierna nad Tisou yard. '''The compilers would appreciate information from anybody visiting the area.''' Although visas are no longer required for Ukraine, the trains are provided for railway staff and border control staff may not permit members of the public to cross the border. They may also use non-passenger locations in both Čierna nad Tisou and Čop.

Introduction

This list is based on the timetable dated from 11 December 2016 to 9 December 2017, unless otherwise shown. Standard abbreviations are explained in General Information.

IMPORTANT NOTE: in the Slovak Railways timetable (Cestovný poriadok), the "crossed hammers" working days symbol means "Mondays to Fridays" not, as for most other railways, "Mondays to Saturdays".

Čierna nad Tisou – Čop (Ukraine)

[190] (ERA 91C3) SK17/5

This international route and the station area at Čop are dual gauge 1435/1520 mm. Public passenger services (2 return journeys daily) are 1435 mm gauge, operated by ŽSR. Cross border freight traffic uses both gauges are there are 1520 mm gauge tracks to and from the gauge-changing and transfer facilities in the Čierna nad Tisou area.

8860 07:00 Čierna nad Tisou - Čop (arr 07:40)
8862 12:15 Čierna nad Tisou - Čop (arr 13:10)
8861 08:43 Čop - Čierna nad Tisou (arr 09:47)
8863 16:45 Čop - Čierna nad Tisou (arr 17:40)

As well as the public passenger trains, ŽSR is believed to operate unadvertised staff trains on this route. Whilst they most probably run on the 1435 mm gauge lines, the service utilizes a former class 810.8 railcar and there is a slight possibility this runs on the 1520 mm gauge lines from Čierna nad Tisou yard. The compilers would appreciate information from anybody visiting the area. Although visas are no longer required for Ukraine, these railcar trains are provided for railway staff and border control staff may not permit members of the public to cross the border. They may also use non-passenger locations in both Čierna nad Tisou and Čop.
