Revision as of 13:36, 13 December 2021
Introduction
This list is based on the timetable dated from 12 December 2021, unless otherwise shown. Standard abbreviations are explained in General Information. Trains running only certain days of the week are shown using ISO 8601 weekday numbers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_week_date).
Map references for each route entry are given in parentheses ( ). References prefixed "ERA-E" refer to the European Railway Atlas (All-Europe Edition) by M.G. Ball. References prefixed "ERA-R" refer to the European Railway Atlas (Regional Series - Czech Republic and Slovakia) by M.G. Ball.
IMPORTANT NOTE: in the Slovak Railways timetable (Cestovný poriadok), the "⚒" working days symbol means "① to ⑤" not, as for most other railways, "① to ⑥".
Obscure services
In the heading to each entry, the map reference for the line in the European Railway Atlas 2016 published by M.G. Ball is shown.
Zbehy – Jelšovce
[140,141] (ERA-E 89C2; ERA-R 204A3) SK22/1
This curve is used by trains running directly between Prievidza and Bratislava, avoiding Lužianky. There are regular trains throughout the day and these can be readily identified in the ZSSK timetable as follows: For southbound services use timetable 140 and look for trains starting from Prievidza calling at Topoľčany with a black line below as far as Jelšovce and destination Bratislava hl.n. For northbound trains use timetable 141 and look for trains starting from Bratislava hl.n. with a departure time from Zbehy but seemingly no further stops until the destination of Prievidza.
Kysak avoiding line: Veľká Lodina (Kysak výh. č 35/36) – Obišovce (Kysak výh. č 39/40)
[180, 188] (ERA-E 91A4; ERA-R 202A3) SK22/2
This curve is used by trains between Prešov and Margecany which are not booked to call and reverse at Kysak.
