The accumulating delays were due to speed restrictions related to the extremely prolonged heat wave - line speed was reduced to 70 km/h throughout daylight hours, and 50 km/h during the most extreme periods. Track quality on Carei - Zalau is also horrendous, it's normally only used as a (very) local line, operated by light Desiro and ex-DB railbuses, with 4 daily services each way.
Thanks for the explanation. OpenRailwayMap says, that the speed limit on Carei - Zalau segment is 100 and 80 km/h, but it could be wrong/old data. Also between Saratel and Deda we were mostly at speed. I would say, that there it was 80 - 100, even though the aforementioned site displays 70.
