Introduction

This list is based on the timetable in force from 10 December 2023. Although the timetable is shown as valid until 8 June 2024, most long-distance services are shown as operating only until March. Such trains are not indicated by note 'D' (for a service only running on certain dates), because it is a reasonable expectation that their period of operation will be extended or a similar service is provided instead. It is assumed that the timetable will continue to be updated and reissued regularly, as has been the case since summer 2020. Users are recommended to check the Trenitalia website to ensure they are using the latest version of the timetable.

Table numbers quoted here are from In Treno Tutt'Italia, the official Trenitalia timetable. Standard abbreviations are explained here.

Map references for each route entry are given in parentheses ( ). References prefixed "ERA-E" refer to the European Railway Atlas (All-Europe Edition) by M.G. Ball. References prefixed "ERA-R" refer to the European Railway Atlas (Regional Series: Book 2) by M.G. Ball. References prefixed "S+W", or in italic, refer to Atlante ferroviaro d'Italia e Slovenia by Schweers + Wall.

Two useful symbols exist which show the booked route for trains not calling at a station: in the middle of the train column, a vertical bar "|" means that the train passes through the station without stopping, whereas a middle dot "·" means that the train does not pass through that station but instead takes a different route.

Obscure services

Trieste Centrale (Bivio d'Aurisina Scambio Estremo Galleria) - Villa Opicina

[13] (27B2-27C2) IT18/41

Currently there are no passenger trains between Trieste Centrale and Villa Opicina, where services from Slovenia terminate. Despite two return trips anticipated daily between Ljubljana and Trieste from June 2018, OBB Scotty at the end of May is suggesting they do not commence until 9 September at the suggested provisional schedules of 05:57 and 16:10 from Ljubljana and 09:01 and 19:09 from Trieste Centrale, with a journey time of about 2½ hours.

Routes used occasionally for diversions

Overnight trains between Padova and Villach have sometimes been scheduled to run via the following two routes, but subject to diversion via Pordenone. Conversely, there may be occasional diversions via these lines by overnight trains normally scheduled to run via Pordenone.

Udine avoiding line: Tricesimo-S. Pelagio (PM Vat) - Buttrio

[14, 15] (140D1, but not as shown) IT18/42

This route enables trains to run between the Tarvisio and Gorizia lines without reversing at Udine. The curve shown in the Atlante ferroviario d'Italia e Slovenia to Udine Parco scambio estremo lato Gorizia has been replaced by a spur east from the avoiding line to the Gorizia line.

Monfalcone avoiding line: Ronchi dei Legionari Nord - Ronchi dei Legionari Sud

[13, 14] (27B2) IT18/43

This route enables trains to run between the Gorizia and Venezia lines without reversing at Monfalcone.
