Obscure services

Radviliškis

(ERA-E 115B3; ERA-R 254A1, not shown on either map) LT23/1

Radviliškis station lies between two marshalling yards, one to the NW and another, larger yard to the SE. Trains from Šiauliai run on the south side of both yards whereas those from the Vilnius direction run on the north side of the yards. The maximum separation of these running lines in the larger yard is over 300 m.

Other sparse services

The following lines have fewer than three trains each way on at least three days a week, or do not run each weekday.

Marijampolė – Trakiszki (Poland) (– Suwałki) Fridays: one train northbound; Saturdays: two trains each way; Sundays: one train southbound.
(Vilnius -) Turmantas - Daugavpils (Latvia) Weekends only but suspended as at December 2021.
(Kaunas –) Palemonas – Jonava (– Šiauliai) One train a day each way

Deletions since previous edition

LT22/1 Kaunas avoiding line: Palemonas (Pamaris) – Garliava (Jiesia) This line is used only by Russian trains in transit to and from Kaliningrad-Passazerskiy. They have no public stops in Lithuania and there is no likelihood in the foreseeable future that European citizens would be allowed to travel on them or be safe to do so.
LT22/3 Šiauliai — Šarkiai — Meitene (Latvia) The Ukrainian Railways seasonal train between Kiev/Kyiv and Riga has not run since 15 March 2020. Owing to the war in Ukraine it is highly unlikely that it will run in the foreseeable future
