Slovenia - Croatia #CrossBorderRail news

đź‘Ž Direct DivaÄŤa - Pula trains will end (but there was just 1x a day, now a change in Buzet will be needed)
đź‘Ť SĹ˝ will run modern EMUs Ljubljana - Rijeka - definitely better than the old knackered carriages
🤔 There's talk of some more connections in Dobova, but no details on how

@jon If LJ-Rijeka is EMUs, does that mean an end to the Kurswagen Stuttgart-Rijeka?
Show threadJon WorthNov 21, 2024
@mattfullerton we don’t know if that applies to all services or only some.

Die Eisenbahngesellschaft von Kroatien wird ihr Angebot im Sommer 2025 beenden. NachtzĂĽge nach Venedig, Rom und La Spezia sollen ab Mitte Juli wieder aufgenommen werden.

@mattfullerton Honestly I am not bothered. The Zagreb route will still run, and this was 1 “Kurswagen" attached to a slow and inadequate Ljubljana - Rijeka train. To say this was “beliebt" is not really true. It’ll need a change in Ljubljana, but it's hardly a drama I think. It's also because the Ljubljana - Rijeka will switch to an EMU.

@jon yes, better for those actually living there of course 🙂
And "beliebt" - Merkur Clickbait
