This north to east curve avoiding Pragersko station is used by trains between the Maribor and Ptuj lines if not calling at Pragersko.

If there is a shortage of diesel units, some trains may be locomotive hauled at short notice. In this case, the train uses the avoiding line before reversing into Pragersko station. This has been reported previously with the following train. The compilers would appreciate reports of any trains doing this:

Ilirska Bistrica - Rijeka (Croatia)

At weekends, most lines have a very restricted local service, or none at all. This particularly affects the following lines, which have few or no long-distance trains:

21 Ljubljana - Kamnik Graben
