ŽSR / ZSSK train delays, Tuesday 20 October 2026

Delays recorded on this day, in Slovakia local time. Below: how it went, then the whole day as one file to download.

From 10 to 19 October 2026 about a quarter of the updates matched no train of the timetable the archive had (30 September; ŽSR's uploads of those days are no longer published), so those days lack the planned stops of many trains: treat them as doubtful. 20 and 21 October were rebuilt against the timetable of 22 October (every update matched).

How late the trains were

79% of stops were reached less than 5 minutes late, and half of them within 0 minutes of the timetable.

Recorded from 00:00 to 23:59. The figures use the last delay announced at each of the 24,431 stops that had one, as the operator sent it. Cancelled trains (marked cancelled, or with every stop skipped), skipped stops and values over an hour early or twelve hours late are left out. 100% of the stops of the trains that ran (skipped stops aside) had a delay.

The archive saw 1,975 of the 1,975 trains the timetable planned for this day.

Not counted in the trains planned: 37 more trains the timetable lists on lines the live feed has not carried in the week before (Železničná spoločnosť Slovensko, a.s., Leo Express Slovensko s.r.o.).
