Slovak Rail Bratislava Budapest recent customer reviews

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.
