LatviaS Postponed Working Day Impacts Train Schedules
Table of Contents
Latvia’s public transportation will operate on a modified schedule this Saturday, January 17th, as it is indeed a postponed working day. Passengers are advised to check schedules carefully, as services will not run on a typical weekend timetable.
Why is Saturday a Working Day?
Latvia sometimes moves working days to the following weekend to create longer holiday breaks. January 17th is a postponed working day as January 2nd was a public holiday. This means schedules will reflect a regular weekday, not a weekend.
Train Schedule changes
- Electric Trains: All four electrified lines will operate on the regular weekday schedule.
- Diesel Trains: Several diesel train services will have adjusted schedules from Thursday, January 15th, to Sunday, January 18th.
“Pasažieru vilciens,” the Latvian rail company, urges passengers traveling in the Gulbene, Madona, Daugavpils, and Valmiera directions to pay close attention to the schedule changes between January 15th and 18th.
Complex schedule Shifts
The schedule adjustments are complex. Here’s a breakdown:
- Thursday, January 15th: Some diesel trains will run on Wednesday’s schedule.
- Friday, January 16th: Trains will operate on Thursday’s schedule.
- Saturday, January 17th: Trains will run on Friday’s schedule.
- Sunday, January 18th: Some trains will run on Saturday’s schedule, while others will run on Sunday’s schedule.
Passengers traveling in the Liepāja, Ludza, and other directions should also be aware of potential schedule variations.
