ŽSR does not publish a list of the abbreviations used in its closure plans. The explanations are derived from public ŽSR documents and from the context of the plans (which ŽSR unit ordered the closure, notes, location). Those marked “assumption” are not verified.
Stations with the most closure days (26 Oct – 30 Nov 2026)
Closures are rows from the ŽSR weekly and monthly plans that have at least one time window on the given day. If the same section has several stages, it counts as one closure.
Hours are the total duration of all time windows on the given day. Two simultaneous 4-hour closures make 8 hours.
Affected trains are trains that would run through the section during the closure according to the timetable (GTFS). This does not mean they were cancelled.
Cancelled trains are trains that, according to GTFS, do not run on the given day although they normally run on the same day of the week. The timetable does not give a reason.
Days covered only by the monthly plan are provisional. When the weekly plan is published, the numbers are replaced. Once a day is over, its numbers no longer change.
