Other Sparse Services

The following lines have few trains (relative to service levels generally in this country) - fewer than three trains each way on at least three days a week - or do not run each weekday:

-	Tabanovci - Preševo (Serbia)	There has been no passenger service over this section since 1 October 2018. See Border Crossings: North Macedonia - Serbia for more details.
-	Veles - Kočani	The timetable shows one return service, although it is reported that this service has been suspended since May 2021 due to lack of serviceable stock
-	Skopje - Đorče Petrov - Kičevo	The timetable shows one return service, although it is reported that this service has been suspended since May 2021 due to lack of serviceable stock
-	Skopje - Đorče Petrov - Volkovo - Hani i Elezit/Đeneral Janković (Kosovo)	The timetable shows one return service, although it is reported that this service has been suspended since March 2020. Initially this was due to Covid travel restrictions, but the line onwards to Prishtinë is currently closed as part of the Route 10 Rehabilitation Project which temporarily removes any purpose for this connection. See Border Crossings: Kosovo - North Macedonia for more historical details.
-	Gevgelija - Idomeni (Greece)	Suspended from 21 August 2015. Since then, services between Gevgelija and Thessaloníki have been provided by bus. See Border Crossings: Greece - North Macedonia for more details.
-	Bitola - Žabeni	A single pair of trains started running daily from 1 February 2023, and are shown in the PDF timetable on the ŽRSMI website: train 641, departing Skopje at 06:53 and Bitola at 10:30; returning as train 642 from Žabeni at 11:00 arriving at Skopje at 16:15.
