This list is based on the what train information is available from 11 December 2022, unless otherwise stated. {{Standard Abbreviations}} Days of the week are shown in ISO8601 form.  Services on some routes were reduced in 2021-22 due to infrastructure works.

===Beograd (Beograd Spoljna) – Pančevački Most via Beograd Dunav===
[44] (52A3 not shown, ERA 102C3) RS11/1


There are two possible routes for long distance trains between the main station at Beograd and the Pančevo line bridge over the Dunav (Danube) river:
===Golubinci - Inđija===
* if diesel-hauled: initially propelled for a short distance out of Beograd station, then via the Sava riverbank line to the west and north of the city and the former Pančevo line terminus at Beograd Dunav;
 
* if electrically-hauled: initially heading westwards over the older Sava river bridge to a reversal at Novi Beograd station, then via the newer Sava river bridge and the suburban tunnel routes via Beograd Centar.
[10, 30] (ERA-E 102C2; ERA-R 222B5) RS24/1
Similar arrangements are followed in the opposite direction.


This applies to the following trains:-

Notes:-
* The route between Novi Beograd and Pančevački Most via Beograd Centar sees a regular service of electric multiple unit trains marketed as '''BG Voz/BG Train'''.
* Most of the outer suburban '''Beovoz''' trains to or from the Pančevo glavna st. direction that terminate at or start from Pančevački Most use a side platform there, on the single line to Beograd Dunav, labelled ''Dunavski Kolosek'' or ''Dunavski Peron''.


===Golubinci - Inđija===
Staff trains run from Niš via the east to north curve off the Skopje line, call at the freight yard station at Niš ranžirna (where they wait for 15 minutes and change train number), then run via the south to east curve to Crveni Krst and back to Niš, performing a clockwise loop. Though these trains are clearly intended for members of staff, no objection has been raised to other passengers using them in the past. It was confirmed in October 2018 that the staff trains still run, but are not advertised. Use by passengers has therefore ceased or is unofficial. '''Reports of recent operations would be welcomed by the compilers.'''

This section of the ''Beovoz'' Beograd suburban network, forming the third side of a triangular junction bypassing Beograd Centar station, has a very limited service compared with the other routes. For details of trains, go to [http://w3.srbrail.rs/zsredvoznje/?lang=en the Serbian Railways website], click the Beovoz tab, select the desired "from" and "to" stations by clicking on the station names on the map provided, then click "Search".
 
===Niš – Niš ranžirna – Crveni Krst===
[91] (52B3 not correctly shown) RS11/4


Niš ranžirna is a freight yard to the west of Niš, and is connected to both the Niš - Beograd and Niš - Skopje lines via triangular junctions.
{{Optima Express|reason=&nbsp;to avoid reversing the train in Niš station}} <br/>  This obscure route has been used in previous years and is expected to continue in 2023-24. '''Confirmation would be welcomed by the compilers.'''


When a full printed timetable was available, Table 91 showed trains with timings at Niš ranžirna. These ran from Niš via the east to north curve off the Skopje line, called at the freight yard station at Niš ranžirna, then ran via the south to east curve to Crveni Krst then onwards to Niš, performing an anti-clockwise loop. Though these trains were clearly intended for members of staff, no objection was raised to other passengers using them.
===Požega avoiding line: Rasna – Boračko===
[50, 73] (ERA 222B2) RS24/3


Though no longer generally advertised, these trains still appear to run: an 18:30 departure from Niš was observed on 13 September 2011.
This is a south to east curve avoiding Požega station. When engineering operations close the direct route via Vreoci and Valjevo, this curve is used by diverted, usually overnight, trains between Beograd and Bar.

Introduction

This list is based on the what train information is available from 11 December 2022, unless otherwise stated. Standard abbreviations are explained here. Days of the week are shown in ISO8601 form. Services on some routes were reduced in 2021-22 due to infrastructure works.

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 3) by M.G. Ball.

Obscure services

Golubinci - Inđija

[10, 30] (ERA-E 102C2; ERA-R 222B5) RS24/1

This curve connects the Beograd - Šid and Beograd - Novi Sad lines. There are no trains on this section at present.

Niš ranžirna

Niš ranžirna is a freight yard to the west of Niš, and is connected to both the Niš - Beograd and Niš - Skopje lines via triangular junctions. Click on the thumbnail for a full size map.


Niš – Niš ranžirna – Crveni Krst

[91] (ERA-E 103B4; ERA-R 223A1) RS24/2A

Staff trains run from Niš via the east to north curve off the Skopje line, call at the freight yard station at Niš ranžirna (where they wait for 15 minutes and change train number), then run via the south to east curve to Crveni Krst and back to Niš, performing a clockwise loop. Though these trains are clearly intended for members of staff, no objection has been raised to other passengers using them in the past. It was confirmed in October 2018 that the staff trains still run, but are not advertised. Use by passengers has therefore ceased or is unofficial. Reports of recent operations would be welcomed by the compilers.

The most recent timings available are:

6300/6301 06:40 Niš - Niš ranžirna - Niš
6202/6303 14:40 Niš - Niš ranžirna - Niš
6304/6305 18:40 Niš - Niš ranžirna - Niš

Niš – Niš ranžirna – Trupale

(ERA-E 103B4; ERA-R 223A1) RS24/2B

The Optima Express car carrying train runs via this route to avoid reversing the train in Niš station. The train runs once or twice per week in each direction between Villach (Austria) and Edirne (Turkey), between May and November. Foot passenger bookings may also be made.
This obscure route has been used in previous years and is expected to continue in 2023-24. Confirmation would be welcomed by the compilers.

Požega avoiding line: Rasna – Boračko

[50, 73] (ERA 222B2) RS24/3

This is a south to east curve avoiding Požega station. When engineering operations close the direct route via Vreoci and Valjevo, this curve is used by diverted, usually overnight, trains between Beograd and Bar.

Other sparse services

The following lines have few trains (relative to service levels generally in this country) - fewer than three trains each way on at least three days a week - or do not run each weekday:

12 Šabac – Zvornik Two train pairs daily
20 Sombor - Subotica Two train pairs
25 Vrbas - Sombor Service suspended
31 Novi Sad - Orlovat stajalište Service suspended
40 Pančevo Glavna st. - Zrenjanin Service suspended
60 Lapovo - Kraljevo One train pair daily, one train pair SSuX
60 Kraljevo - Rudnica Two train pairs daily
60 Rudnica - Kosovska Mitrovica Sever Service suspended
71 Mala Krsna - Velika Plana Service suspended
73 Kraljevo - Stalać Two train pairs daily

75 Negotin - Prahovo pristanište Two train pairs daily
80 Niš - Bela Palanka - Pirot - Dimitrovgrad Service suspended
85 Niš - Kuršumlija - Prokuplje - Merdare Service suspended and removed from journey planner list of stations
90 Niš - Preševo Service suspended and removed from journey planner list of stations
A Subotica - Kelebia (Hungary) No timetable information found so service may be suspended.
B, 10 Šid - Tovarnik (Croatia) Service suspended
C Bogojevo - Erdut (Croatia) Service suspended
D Dimitrovgrad - Kalotina Zapad (Bulgaria) Service suspended
E Preševo - Tabanovci (North Macedonia) No service since 1 October 2018. See Border Crossings: North Macedonia - Serbia.
G, 50 Prijepolje Teretna - Bijelo Polje (Montenegro) One train pair all year, second train pair 14 June to 15 September 2024

Deletions since previous edition

54 Beograd Rasp. Dedinje - Beograd Rasp. Karađorđev Park
From 2021/2022 it had a good suburban service.
70 Paraćin - Gilje (Rasputnica Ćuprija) via 2015 new cut-off avoiding Ćuprija station
Since the December 2017 timetable and according to the journey planner in January 2023 all services are booked to call at Ćuprija, so this line has no service.
