Rail connections from and to the Port of Koper, Slovenia, continue to be impacted by railway closures and reconstructions.


Rail service operator METRANS reported that the situation had had adverse effects in connections to and from the Adriatic.


As a result, trains to and from Koper are facing multiple cancellations.


The disruption is expected to persist in the next few weeks, says METRANS, mainly caused by circumstances on the entire Slovenian infrastructure's rail network.


Rail cancellations in Slovenia, as well as the regular closures of the Gubacsi Bridge near the Budapest terminal, have also impacted railway lockouts in Hungary.


Operators are obliged to cancel trains, resulting in delays in transit times for rail cargo in Hungary.
