Introduction
This list is based on the timetable in force from 12 December 2021. Standard abbreviations are explained in General Information.
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 Baltic States, Belarus and Ukraine) by M.G. Ball.
Obscure services
Rīga pasažieru — Vagonu Parks/Vagonnyi Park (— Jāņavārti)
(ERA-E 114C3, not shown; ERA-R 251C2, not shown) LV22/1
All-stations electric suburban services in both directions, and also a very limited number of longer distance DMU services, deviate from the double track main line and run to the south of carriage sidings and an EMU depot. They use a single track line and call at Vagonu Parks/Vagonnyi Park station. These frequent services run every day and can be easily identified in the Riga - Ogre and Lielvārde timetable.
Jelgava — Meitene — Šarkiai (Lithuania) — Šiauliai
(ERA-E 115A3; ERA-R 253B1-C1) LV22/2
Ukrainian Railways operated a seasonal train between Kiev/Kyiv and Riga by this route. However, the train was suspended with effect from 15 March 2020, as Latvia cancelled all international travel. As this train ran through Belarus it will clearly not resume.
Other sparse services
The following lines have a limited service of fewer than three trains a day each way or do not run every day:
| Valmiera - Valga | Two trains a day | |
| Rēzekne - Zilupe | Two trains a day | |
| Zilupe - Sebezh (Russia) | The international service to/from Moskva/St Peterburg has been suspended since 15 March 2020 and will clearly not resume. | |
| Pļaviņas - Madona - Gulbene | One train a day SSuX to/from Madona; two trains a day SSuO to/from Gulbene. | |
| (Jelgava -) Dobele - Liepāja | Twice weekly: FSuO to Liepāja; SSuO from Liepāja | |
| Daugavpils - Indra - [Bihosava (Belarus)] | Daugavpils - Krāslava once a day; Krāslava - Indra ThFO out and FSO back. The international service to/from Minsk has been suspended since 15 March 2020 and will clearly not resume. |
