SKODA Type 68E Electrics are now returning to long distance Varna and Burgas services replacing the new SIEMENS Smartron Class 80s which are not compatible with the electrical systems of the recently acquired and introduced former DB 'IC1' coaching stock. Passing the long since abandoned weighbridge at Svetovrachane SKODA 44-076 takes the FAST2617 (14:35) Sofia to Varna service the long way round out of Sofia due to the restricted access to and from the northbound LINE 2 at central station.
