Vlak neprišiel! Nevrátili mi peniaze, meškal som na letisku! Už nikdy viac nevyužijem vaše služby a budem ich odporúčať každému! Hrozné.

The train was over two hours late, and one stop before the final destination, they forced all passengers to leave the train and wait for the next one to bring us to the final destination, with no prior warning and in a disorganised manner. Will be avoiding this line in the future.

My train arrived 40 min late, which was the main incovenience.
