Georgia: Passenger and freight rail services in Georgia suspended Aug. 9-11 for maintenance.
Passenger and freight rail services in Georgia suspended Aug. 9-11 for maintenance; increased demand for alternative transport likely.
Event
Georgian Railway, the national rail operator, has confirmed all passenger and freight services in the country are suspended Aug. 9-11 to carry out upgrade and maintenance works. Officials stated that normal service would resume Aug. 12.
Increased demand for alternative transport is likely over this period, likely resulting in increased road traffic congestion and reduced availability or overcrowding on available public transport. Delays to goods normally transported via rail in Georgia are likely.
Advice
Confirm all transport bookings and scheduled freight shipments in Georgia Aug. 9-11; make alternative arrangements if necessary. Check traffic conditions and public transport schedules for disruptions and allow extra time to complete journeys. Anticipate possible freight transport delays.
