The Bulgarian State Railroad company, BDZ, announced Thursday temporary changes in the schedule of all international trains to and from Greece.
The changes are triggered by the 24-hour strike in Greece on Thursday declared as protest against the austerity measures the county committed to in exchange for the bailout from the EU and IMF to rescue its crumbling economy.
The international express train between Bucharest and Thessaloníki via Sofia will travel only to Sofia and will leave Thursday morning for Bucharest. Passengers will be transported from and to Sofia and to and from Kulata cross-border point with Greece by two second-class cars.
The two morning and the two afternoon trains between Sofia and Thessaloníki are canceled.
BDZ reassures all passengers that their tickets will be reimbursed.
