Latvia - Lines with Obscure or Sparse passenger services
Introduction
This list is based on the timetable in force from 15 December 2024. Standard abbreviations are explained here.
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: Book 3) by M.G. Ball.
Obscure services
Rīga pasažieru — Vagonu Parks/Vagonnyi Park (— Jāņavārti)
(ERA-E 114C3, not shown; ERA-R 251C2, not shown) LV25/1
The double track main line runs to the north of carriage sidings and an EMU depot. There is a new platform for Vagonu Parks/Vagonnyi Park on the westbound line. A single track line runs on the south side of the carriage sidings and EMU depot and also has a Vagonu Parks/Vagonnyi Park platform. Previously, some suburban services (and a few longer distance DMU services) in both directions used this line and called at Vagonu Parks/Vagonnyi Park. Presumably, only eastbound services will now call at this platform. These frequent services run every day and can be easily identified in the Riga - Ogre and Lielvārde timetable. Reports on the routing of services calling at Vagonu Parks would be appreciated by the compilers.
