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. If the increase in services over this line is maintained in future years, this entry will no longer be considered an obscure service.

Divača avoiding line: Povir (km 670.5) – Rodik (km 0.5)

[50, 60] (ERA 215B2) SI18/5

This west to south curve avoiding Divača is used by a train in each direction between Sežana and Pula. In previous years the section between Sežana and Hrpelje-Kozina has not been shown in the timetable PDF but has been shown in the journey planner. In the current year there appear to be no services.

Other sparse services

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. Note that the on-line Slovenian timetable pdfs no longer show the former timetable numbers:

32 Sveti Rok ob Sotli - Hromec (Croatia)
34 Ruše - Bleiburg (Austria)
40 Središče - Macinec (Croatia)
Mursko Središće (Croatia) - Lendava
80 Metlika - Rosalnice - Bubnjarci (Croatia) 2 trains SSuX each way and one SuO between Metlika and Rosalnice (Croatia). There is no service from Rosalnice to Bubnjarci(see Croatia)
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
31 Celje - Velenje
32 / 33 Grobelno - Stranje - Imeno / Sveti Rok ob Sotli - Ðurmanec (Croatia)
34 Maribor - Prevalje - Bleiburg (Austria)
40 / 41 Pragersko - Ormož - Središče / Hodoš
70 Sežana - Nova Gorica
80 Ljubljana - Novo Mesto - Metlika
81 Sevnica - Trebnje

Deletions since last edition

Sl 17/5 Rakitovev - Buzet(Croatia) Deleted as trains using this line are now clearly shown in the timetable pdfs
