The international trains traveling between Bulgaria and Greece will be canceled on September 8-9 because of a strike in Greece on those dates.

Bulgaria's state railway company BDZ announced that the two daily trains running between the Bulgarian capital Sofia and the Greek city of Thessaloniki will run only in the section between Sofia and the Kulata border crossing point.

The passengers who decide to take these trains will be transported by bus between Kulata and Thessaloniki.

Over the past few months the Sofia-Thessaloniki trains have seen their schedule changed numerous times because of strikes in debt-ridden Greece.

In 2010, these occurred on July 8, June 29, May 19, May 3, and March 10.
