25.09.12 Cherkvica 10011
Bulgaria Trip Day Two.
Early morning visit to the Cherkvica branch on 25 September 2012. With just 5 minutes turnaround and no visible signs of a working run round loop, this branch is likely not to see loco hauled services. Also, a further hurdle for loco hauled trains would be the reversal at Jasen which is timetabled for a short two or three minute operation.
Train is 23101, 08:10 Cherkvica to Svishtov.
Both Cherkvica and Shivstov are ports on the river Danube which at both points forms the border between Romania and Bulgaria.
