The early morning sun has just risen above the horizon at Iliyantsi to illuminate the classic lines of a BDZ-PP Class 32 EMU Set. Two stops out from it's destination of Sofia Central a short delay is incurred while an inter-model working enters the yard from the Voluyak chord, crossing all running lines as it does so. Surprisingly, the Soviet-era RVR Class 32 units have reappeared on regular services into the capital, the rostered unit working into Sofia Central station four times during the day. First sector of the seven days a week diagram is ordinary service ORD20102 (04:00) Pleven to Sofia, arriving in the northern outskirts of the city a little before 8AM. Image taken on 23rd September 2024 when Set No. 32-131/32-132 was the allocated unit.
