Revision as of 17:50, 28 April 2011

Note: The Croatian and Slovenian railways were once part of the JŽ Yugoslav railways and have largely common operating systems. The two different electrification systems originate from Slovenia and part of Croatia having been Italian territory until 1945. Accordingly, FS 3kV dc electrification had reached Postojna and Rijeka by 1939. This system was used for further schemes in the area, despite 25kV being adopted as the Yugoslav standard.

(Lupoglav -) Buzet HŽ - Rakitovec SŽ (- Prešnica)

[D] SŽ works to Buzet but the only cross border working is a summer dated train.

(Rijeka -) Šapjane HŽ - Ilirska Bistrica SŽ (- Pivka)

[E] SŽ works to Šapjane, except for passenger trains to or from Rijeka starting or terminating at Ilirska Bistrica which are worked by HŽ throughout.

(Karlovac -) Kamanje HŽ - Rosalnice SŽ (- Metlika)

[D] HŽ works to Metlika but there is now only one SSuX train each way across the border. Neither the HŽ nor SŽ websites acknowledge these as running across the border. However, the Metlika station arrival and departure sheets showed it in April 2011 and this was confirmed by station staff. Potential passengers should check before travelling.

(Zagreb -) Savski Marof HŽ - Dobova SŽ (- Zidani Most)

[E*] HŽ works to Dobova. The change in electrification system here pre-dates the break-up of the former Yugoslavia.

Kumrovec HŽ - Zelenjak SŽ and Zelenjak SŽ - Klanjec HŽ

[D] This route passed through a part of Slovene territory between each of these pairs of stations. HŽ trains between Savski Marof and Kumrovec ceased from June 2001. Passenger services restarted between Savski Marof and Harmica in 2008 but the remainder of the line is closed and probably lifted. However, a meeting of the chief executives of SŽ and HŽ with local politicians in March 2011 expressed a strong interest in the re-introduction of rail traffic.

Kumrovec HŽ - Imeno SŽ (- Stranje)

[D] There was a passenger service between Zagreb and Celje via this line, in most cases with a change of train at Kumrovec, but subsequent to the break up of Yugoslavia the service over this cross-border section was withdrawn. HŽ trains between Savski Marof and Kumrovec ceased from June 2001. Passenger services restarted between Savski Marof and Harmica in 2008 but the remainder of the line is closed and probably lifted. However, a meeting of the chief executives of SŽ and HŽ with local politicians in March 2011 expressed a strong interest in the re-introduction of rail traffic.

(Zabok -) Đurmanec HŽ - Sveti Rok ob Sotli SŽ (- Rogatec - Stranje)

[D] There was a passenger service between Zabok and Celje via this line, but subsequent to the break up of Yugoslavia the service over this cross-border section was withdrawn. The line is now closed between Đurmanec and Sveti Rok ob Sotli and at least in part probably lifted. Note: from Rogatec station a short industrial branch line crosses the river into Croatia.

Čakovec HŽ - Središče SŽ (- Ormož)

[D] SŽ works to Čakovec. The cross border Macinec to Središče section closed to passenger services from 11 December 2010

(Čakovec -) Mursko Središće HŽ - Lendava SŽ

[D] There was a passenger service between Mursko Središće and Lendava via this line, but subsequent to the break up of Yugoslavia the service over this cross-border section has been withdrawn. Some freight traffic remains.
