Obscure services

Beograd (Beograd Spoljna) – Beograd Dunav - Pančevački Most

[44] (52A3 not shown, ERA 102C3) RS13/1 The suspension of the Beograd to Bucureşti Nord international service has removed the only train to travel from Beograd to Beograd Dunav via the Sava riverside line. The international train does not appear in the 2012-2013 timetable.

The following trains only use the section of line between Beograd Dunav station and the junction at Pančevački Most:-

2601 0720 Beograd Dunav - Vršac
2512 10:45 Beograd Dunav - Zrenjanin
2603 11:50 Beograd Dunav - Vršac
2605 15:55 Beograd Dunav - Vršac
2500 17:20 Beograd Dunav - Kikinda
2607 20:30 Beograd Dunav - Vršac
2600 Vršac - 06:55 Pančevački Most - Beograd Dunav
2501 Kikinda - 09:04 Krnjača - Beograd Dunav

2604 Vršac - 15:29 Pančevački Most - Beograd Dunav
2513 Zrenjanin - 16:58 Pančevački Most - Beograd Dunav
2606 Vršac - 19:39 Pančevački Most - Beograd Dunav

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

[10, 30] (52A3, ERA 102C2 & 107B1) RS13/2

This curve connecting the Beograd - Šid and Beograd - Novi Sad lines has a very restricted service.

4200 Novi Sad - 16:13 Inđija - Sremska Mitrovica
4201 Sremska Mitrovica - 18:43 Inđija Selo - Novi Sad

Karađorđev Park - Rakovica (Rasputnica Dedinje)

[54] (52A3 not shown, ERA 10 2C3 not shown) RS13/3

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 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".

5003 Pančevački Most - 16:06 Karađorđev Park - Valjevo
5005 Pančevački Vojlovica - 23:32 Karađorđev Park - Valjevo
5000 Valjevo - 07:31 Rakovica - Pančevački Vojlovica
5002 Valjevo - 21:10 Rakovica - Pančevački Vojlovica

Niš – Niš ranžirna – Crveni Krst

[91] (52B3 not correctly shown) RS12/4

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.

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.

Though no longer generally advertised, these trains still appear to run: an 18:30 departure from Niš was observed on 13 September 2011. Confirmation of continued running would be appreciated.

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:

21 Novi Sad - Odžaci
34 Horgoš - Kanjiža
60 Raška - Lešak - Zvečan (Kosovo)
80, K Niš - Dimitrovgrad - Kalotina Zapad (Bulgaria)
I Kikinda - Jimbolia (Romania)
J Vršac - Stamora Moravita (Romania)
