European Migration Crisis - Rail Disruption

[30907]

From what I can gather at the moment Hungary is effectively closed off to all passengers to/from Schengen countries without passing through border checkpoints.

Trains between Croatia and Hungary are disrupted by the looks of it although Croatia is not in Schengen. What is happening with the trains in Dubrovnik as given its location and the fact that its an exclave.

I don't think there have been trains in Dubrovnik for years (wasn't it a branch of the JZ narrow gauge?) Ploce is the nearest. Doubt if the present crisis makes much difference there....

From Wiki(pedia): Dubrovnik, unlike Croatia's other major centres, is not accessible by rail; until 1975 Dubrovnik was connected to Mostar and Sarajevo by a narrow gauge railway (760 mm) built during the Austro-Hungarian rule of Bosnia.

No probs, only know because friends of mine did the NG on an Interrail back in 74 or so...

More problems at the French end of the Channel Tunnel this morning - do these migrants that manage break through the fences really think that they will be able to just walk through the tunnel to the UK unchallenged or undetected?

Anyone know what the latest position is re train travel between Germany, Austria and Slovenia? Of course, the "latest" today might change tomorrow.

The train radar and station information headings should be useful for the relevant border stations.

Gist is:
No RJ or IC Salzburg-Munich and restricted S-Bahn to Freilassing.
Seem to be delays at Passau.

Meridian is running from Muechen to Salzburg, but expect bordercontrols in Salzburg. At least untill November 9, 2015 no IC/EC trains between Muenchen and Salzburg. Innsbruck - Salzburg trains are running normally.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---

München Hbf - Salzburg Hbf: Information. Der Zug fällt zwischen München Hbf und Salzburg Hbf wegen Grenzkontrollen aus. Bitte überprüfen Sie Ihre Verbindung noch einmal kurz vor der Reise. Dauer der Beeinträchtigung bis vsl. 12.12.2015, 23:59 Uhr.

From post above; make it now December 12, 2016 for now RJ/IC/EC from Muenchen to Salzburg and v.v..

Interesting, are they doing "alight and walk through" controls more like South East Asia rather than on board due to the crowds?

From December 15 all dayborder control will take between Austria and Germany at 3 locations: Passau, Bad Reichenhall and Kiefersfelden (Kufstein). This autobahn; do not know whether it applies to trains. Bad Reichenhall is not a bordercrossing for trains.
