Uzbekistan to Temporarily Limit Train Speeds Due to Heat
Uzbekistan will temporarily reduce train speeds on sections of its railway network during extreme heat, with some passenger services expected to arrive behind schedule.
In response to exceptionally hot weather, Uzbekistan's railway operator, Temiryo'lexpress, has announced it will temporarily impose speed restrictions across specific segments of its rail network.
The company stated that this action is designed to safeguard both passengers and train movements, simultaneously ensuring the consistent and dependable operation of the railway infrastructure amidst elevated temperatures.
Temiryo'lexpress clarified that these limitations will be enforced on particular railway sections where heightened surveillance of tracks and other infrastructure becomes necessary during the period of high heat.
Consequently, these temporary speed reductions could lead to some passenger trains reaching their destinations behind schedule.
Temiryo'lexpress advised travelers to factor in potential alterations to train arrival times and requested their understanding for these measures, which are being implemented to guarantee the safety of railway services.
