Ljubljana's main train station is undergoing significant upgrades, necessitating partial closures and service adjustments over the weekend. From Friday to Sunday, the central section of the station will be inaccessible, impacting train services to various destinations. This is the fourth such closure since the upgrade work began, but this particular closure is only partial.
Trains heading towards the Primorska region will operate from a temporary platform on Dunajska cesta (track 94). For some connections between Ljubljana and Borovnica, bus replacement services will be in operation. Similarly, trains to the ล tajerska region will depart from temporary platforms near the intersection of Masarykova cesta and Njegoลกeva ulica (tracks 95, 96, 97, 98). Bus replacements will also be used for some routes between Ljubljana and Ljubljana Zalog.
Slovenian Railways is implementing measures to assist passengers, including providing information via a toll-free number and station staff. Passengers traveling to Koper from the Hodoลก-Celje-Zidani Most-Ljubljana line will be transferred to a bus service in Ljubljana, which will then connect them to a train at Ljubljana Dolgi most. Bus replacements are also arranged for routes to and from Reka via Ljubljana Zalog-Brezovica. Services towards Dolenjska will not be affected.
Some trains on the Ljubljana-Ljubljana Viลพmarje section will use diesel-powered trains due to overhead line work. The station is expected to fully reopen on Monday morning, with services resuming under a modified schedule that has been in place since mid-December. Passengers are urged to consult the adjusted timetables and utilize the provided assistance services to navigate these temporary changes.
