Bulgarian State Railways (BDZ) has announced several train cancellations and delays on its website.
Among the cancellations, the suburban passenger train from Septemvri at 10:50 a.m. to Avramovo at 1:43 p.m. has been called off due to a shortage of rolling stock. Passengers will be transported by bus instead. Similarly, the train from Avramovo at 2:05 p.m. to September at 4:51 p.m. is also canceled for the same reason, with bus transportation provided for passengers.
The passenger train from Vratsa at 8:40 a.m. to Pleven at 10:47 a.m. has been canceled in the Vratsa to Mezdra section due to technical issues. Passengers are being redirected to other trains heading in that direction. The train from Sofia North at 6:00 a.m. to Vratsa at 8:27 a.m. is canceled in the Mezdra to Vratsa section for similar technical reasons, with passengers redirected to subsequent trains.
