Introduction

This list is based on the timetable in force from 10 December 2023 until 14 December 2024. Standard abbreviations are explained here. 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: Book 3) by M.G. Ball.

SŽ no longer publish a full paper timetable and the online PDFs do not use timetable numbers (other than in the titles of webpages, instead using the line name). The on-line timetable names are therefore used in the entries below.

This north to east curve avoiding Pragersko station is used by trains between the Maribor and Ptuj lines that do not call & reverse at Pragersko. They may be identified in the Maribor-Središče timetables by times at Rače and Šikole and no times at Pragersko and vice-versa.

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, and are shown by placenames which are included in their filenames.

Nove Mesto-Metlika Metlika - Rosalnice - Bubnjarci (Croatia) There is a very limited ①-⑤ SŽ service between Metlika and Rosalnice, and no SŽ or HŽ cross-border service between Metlika and Bubnjarci.
Ljubljana-Sežana Ilirska Bistrica - Šapjane (Croatia)
Maribor-Središče Središče - Macinec (Croatia)
Ormož-Hodoš Hodoš - Bajánsenye (Hungary) This section of line is not shown in the Slovenian PDF timetables.
Celje-Imeno-Rogatec Sveti Rok ob Sotli - Hromec (Croatia)
Divača-Koper Prešnica - Rakitovec - Buzet (Croatia)
Divača-Koper Divača - Hrpelje-Kozina - Koper

Ljubljana-Nove Mesto, Nove Mesto-Metlika Grosuplje - Novo Mesto - Metlika
Sevnica-Trebnje Sevnica - Trebnje
