Introduction
This list is based on the timetable dated from 11 December 2011 to 08 December 2012, unless otherwise shown. Standard abbreviations are explained in General Information.
IMPORTANT NOTE: in the Slovak Railways timetable (Cestovný poriadok), the "crossed hammers" working days symbol means "Mondays to Fridays" not, as for most other railways, "Mondays to Saturdays".
Obscure services
Bratislava predmestie - Bratislava-Rača (odbočka Vinohrady)
[120] (41B1 not shown) SK12/1
A small number of services on the Bratislava - Trnava route run from or to Bratislava-Nové Mesto rather than Bratislava hlavná stanica: they are clearly marked in table 120. Interestingly, this route contains the only burrowing (flying) junction used by passenger services in Slovakia. See also Bratislava.
Bratislava predmestie - Bratislava-Vajnory (odbočka Močiar)
[130] (41B1 not shown) SK12/2
A small number of services on the Bratislava - Štúrovo route run from or to Bratislava-Nové Mesto rather than Bratislava hlavná stanica: they are clearly marked in table 130. See also Bratislava.
Chvatimech – Hronec zlieváreň
[172, 900] (43A2 not shown) SK12/3
This is a link to the preserved forestry railway Čiernohronská Železnica (see Slovakia - Tourist lines). A return trip from Banská Bystrica or Zvolen has operated annually on 1 May since at least 2003. The following trains run on 1 May 2012:

Kysak avoiding line: Veľká Lodina – Obišovce

| D | SuO | R 1504 | Humenné - 15:44 Prešov - Bratislava hl.st. |
Veľké Kapušany - Maťovce
[195] (43B2 not correctly shown) SK12/5
Some table 195 services may be extended beyond Veľké Kapušany as staff trains 2.7km to and from the gauge transfer yard at Maťovce. In mid 2007 the following Maťovce trains were shown on the timetable poster at Veľké Kapušany: 06:44 SSuX, 14:20 SSuX. Further information would be welcomed.

Other sparse services
ZSSK announced in January 2011 that a large number of lines would close or have reduced services. These are listed in General Information - Recent and Future changes. Entries in this section may therefore change considerably from 6th March 2011 when the changes are planned to take place.
The following lines have few trains (relative to service levels generally in this country) - fewer than four trains each way on at least three days a week - or do not run each weekday:
| 129 | Čadca - Skalité - Zwardoň (Poland) [Only three train pairs cross the border from Skalité-Serafinov to Zwardoň] |
| 141 | Zbehy - Jelšovce ( Three train pairs, two daily and one to Prievidsa on Friday, returning on Sunday ) |
| 169 | Košice - Hidasnémeti (Hungary) ( Only the two International train pairs traverse the Gyňov to Hidasnémeti section) |
| 186 | Spišská Nová Ves - Levoča [7 return journeys on 2 & 3 July 2011 only] |
| 188 | Plaveč - Muszyna (Poland) (Apart from two dated Sundays only train pairs between Čirč and Plaveč the line is closed awaiting bridge repairs in Poland) |
| 190 | Čierna nad Tisou - Čop (Ukraine) [2 return journeys daily] |
| 191 | Medzilaborce mesto - Łupków (Poland) [1 return journey FSSuO, summer only] |
