Latvia - Lines with Obscure or Sparse passenger services
Introduction
This list is based on the timetable which comes into force on 8 December, 2019.. The LDz internal timetable does not use table numbers. Standard abbreviations are explained in General Information.
Map references for each route entry are given in parentheses ( ). References prefixed "ERA" refer to the European Railway Atlas Baltic States, Belarus & Ukraine, Regional Series 2017, by M.G.Ball.
Obscure services
Rīga pasažieru — Vagonu Parks/Vagonnyi Park (— Jāņavārti)
(ERA 251C2, not shown) LV20/1
All-stations electric suburban services in both directions, and also a very limited number of longer distance DMU services, deviate from the double track main line and run to the south of carriage sidings and an EMU depot. They use a single track line and call at Vagonu Parks/Vagonnyi Park station. These frequent services run every day and can be easily identified in the Riga - Ogre and Lielvārde timetable.
Jelgava — Meitene — Šarkiai (Lithuania) — Šiauliai
(ERA 253C1) LV20/2
