Introduction
ntroduction
This list is based on the timetable in force from 11 December 2022 until 3 September 2023. Standard abbreviations are explained in General Information, days of the week are shown using ISO8601.
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 - The Balkans) by M.G. Ball.
