Autumn is coming in Bulgaria as this view recorded on 17th October 2023 at Bankya station clearly confirms. The full length of the Voluyak to Bankya branch situated to the west of Sofia sees little other then BDZ EMU and DMU sets these days although the occasional steam charters from the nearby capital do run from time to time. SIEMENS DESIRO EMU Set No. 30019/30020 gets under-way from Bankya with a returning service to the capital, BDZ train service SUB13207 (12:25) departure to Sofia Central.
