We have published an assessment of the state of the railway infrastructure and connections for the Mura and Drava regions and last but not least for the Carinthia region, including the border regions of neighboring countries in Austria, Hungary and Croatia.
Although the main railway lines in Slovenia have mostly been renovated, this is certainly not the case for the border parts of these main railway lines. It is particularly worrying that the regional border lines have very poor capacities, are not in the plans for upgrades and also have poor or non-existent connection frequencies.
A key feature of the Mura region is that two of the three railway lines in this region are non-operating. In the Drava region, a key characteristic is the fragmentation of routes and the low frequency of railway connections (with the exception of the connections between Maribor and Ljubljana), especially to and from the border parts of the region. The Carinthian region has the only remaining railway line with very low frequencies of train connections.
