===Bratislava-Rača - odbočka Vinohrady - Bratislava predmestie - Bratislava Nové Mesto===
[120] (ERA 205C1) SK18/1
For years only a small number of services on the Bratislava - Trnava route ran to Bratislava-Nové Mesto rather than Bratislava hlavná stanica: but with effect from the timetable of 10 June 2018 this line has an hourly service on Mondays - Fridays only. Interestingly, this route contains the only burrowing (flying) junction used by passenger services in Slovakia.

[180, 188] (ERA 202A3) SK19/2

This curve is used by trains between Prešov and Margecany which are not booked to call and reverse at Kysak. Note that trains designated 'EC' are services of private operator Leo Express, so ZSSK tickets/concessions are not valid. Between Košice and Prešov and vice versa, Leo Express services may carry a different train number from that shown below.

FO R15711 Bratislava hl.n. - 20:41 Margecany - Humenné
EC1358 05:38 Prešov - Praha hl.n.
