Despite numerous attempts, Slovakian national operator ZSSK have not been able to dispense with the last remaining classic Class 240 'Laminatka' machines and there are still several working on a daily basis.
One of the more unusual appearances was over 4th - 6th October where 240028 was replacing a push-pull Class 263 set on stopping services on the Malacky to Nové Zámky line through Bratislava.
A lovely and weatherworn 240 028 with four traditional Bdtmee coaches has just left Devínska Nová Ves heading to Bratislava running around 15 minutes behind schedule.
Os 2049 0835 Malacky - Bratislava hl.st
This machine was withdrawn by December 2023 and was sold to the Railway Museum of the Slovak Republic, arriving at its new home on 13th December.
