Dear Customers,
In recent weeks, we have been regularly informing you about adverse effects on our connections to/from the Adriatic.
Unfortunately, due to the fact that the situation on the Slovenian Railways continues not to improve, we were once again forced to adjust the train scheduling. Last week we were again forced to reorganise our trains from/to Koper and cancel 18 pairs of trains due to a combination of unfavourable circumstances on the entire railway network of the Slovenian infrastructure.
Summary of extraordinary events:
• 26/08/2024 at 6:50 p.m. the road closure between Sava – Zagorje ended, as a result of which the speed was reduced to 30 km/h.
• 27/08/2024 between 7:41 a.m. and 9:25 a.m., near Litija station, a failure of the ERSVN safety devices was reported.
• 27/08/2024 between 9:30 a.m. and 1:57 p.m., along the Rakek – Postojna section, line damage was reported, causing traffic slowdowns.

Unfortunately, this lack of capacity will affect the transit time of our trains to/from Koper. We are constantly monitoring the situation and will keep you informed in case of new information.
If you have any questions regarding the current scheduling of your shipments and transit times to/from Koper, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service Department.
