Today’s borders & background

New borders crossed today:
Laa an der Thaya 🇦🇹 – Hevlín 🇨🇿
Wildendürnbach (Alt Prerau) 🇦🇹 – Novosedly 🇨🇿
Hodonín zastávka 🇨🇿 – Holíc nad Moravou 🇸🇰
Sudomerice nad Moravou 🇨🇿 – Skalica na Slovensku 🇸🇰
Javorník nad Velickou zastávka 🇨🇿 – Vrbovce 🇸🇰

The day starts with three branch lines at the Czech-Slovak border – the question is what could be done to improve traffic on these, not least as all are only diesel. Then the day finishes at the Danube at the Slovakia-Hungary border, where a rail line Komárno – Komárom has no passenger traffic. 

 

Today’s music track

Ideme vlakom
Železničná spoločnosť Slovensko (ZSSK)

Thanks @ScottAS2@mastodon.scot for reminding me of this official ZSSK train song!
