Introduced in 1936, Slovenská strela served as a ČSD flagship between the metropolises of Slovakia and Bohemia. It originally completed the route in 4 hours and 51 minutes.[1] It originally ran with unique motor units also named Slovenská strela, later with various motor, steam and electric locomotives.
The train has been in service ever since, except for the wartime years 1939–1945. However, in 1965–1967, the train was renamed to Ostrava-Bratislava express.[2]
In the 2010-timetable and from 2012 onwards, the train was operating on the route Bratislava - Břeclav as EC 277/278 with through coaches from Bratislava to Prague and Ostseebad Binz, and from Prague detaching from EC 177 to Vienna. In the 2013 timetable, a through train between Bratislava and Stralsund via Prague and Berlin was named Slovenská strela.
