Abstract

In recent years, the number of long-distance trains running on non-electrified lines has been increasing in Poland. Unfortunately, trains running on non-electrified lines, unlike those running on the hook of electric locomotives, are very often canceled, especially in the winter. In this research, the analysis of which lines had the most frequent cancellations of trains in 2021 and the reasons for these cancellations were analyzed. The results show that the most common cause of train cancellations was the lack of an efficient locomotive at the starting station. Most often, accessibility problems concern Czech series 754 diesel locomotives. The numbers of canceled trains in February 2021 and 2022 were also compared. The comparison showed that although the situation is far from ideal, it has improved significantly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
