Electrical trains will again connect Ljubljana and the Primorsko region, according to summer schedule. On Tuesday, September 1st, the number of trains will increase, as the winter schedule will come in force.
The work will continue at the Postojna railway station and on the contact lines of the Rakek station. Some minor jobs must be completed as well. Everything should be completed in November.
Great damage caused by sleet
In February last year heavy sleet caused extensive damage to the Primorsko railway. Between Borovnica and Pivka the contact lines for supply to electric trains were almost completely ruined. As reported by Elen Batista Štader for TV Dnevnik, 70% of the contact lines of that section (poles, conductors and some stations) had to be rebuilt.
The total cost of rehabilitation was 40 billion euros.
