I believe the track between Jesenice and Ljubljana is actually being renovated right now. There are no trains on this route at the moment - just buses.
Yeah unfortunately I found this out after I edited the video or I would have mentioned it 🙂
In fact the closure is of the Karawanks Tunnel not the stretch between Jesenice and Ljubljana. It was due to close between August 2020 and August 2021 for a complete rebuild (it has major structural defects apparently) and single-tracking. I was due to use this route from Munich to Ljubljana last Christmas and only found out by chance (the trip eventually had to be cancelled anyway due to Covid!). Whether the construction timetable has been maintained due to the pandemic I don't know.
@@hamlet7959 But the tracks between Ljubljana and Jesenice are being reconstructed/renovated, so I guess SŽ used the opportunity.

11:50 / 11:51 the guy is from Czech republic and he said : "Bacha to je nějakej youtuber" that means : watch that is some youtuber :D
Taky jsem si všiml :D
That's hilarious 😂
By the way the guy at the end of that coach was also a Czech. Of course if you don't know the language, you silll recognize Czechs easily, their face masks are either around their neck or covering just mouth. 😂😭

Hello there! I just found your channel and I'm loving it! Coming from a railwaymen family, we have been to some of the journeys you made videos of. For example this one, Austria, and in Poland to Kraków! Slovenia is particularly amazing! Bringing back the memories and you make me want to go on other trips by train in Europe :D Greetings from Hungary!
Thank you ☺️

Video's Score: 10/10 I love loco-hauled trains and especially trains when different operators have coaches in there, It’s just so diverse like the Slovenian fresh air coach! 🤩
Wow 10/10 thanks! I love loco hauled too, and a nice carriage mix! Where do you live Liam? 👍🏻😁

very nice video on the EC213 between Villach and Ljubljana some good mountain scenery there and good variety of passenger coaches from Austria Slovenia and Croatia and the window hanging but that tunnel... what an interesting name hahaha wonder what the comment section will be like when other British viewers watch and see that name but anyway good work as always nonstop eurotrip
Thanks Daniel! No one else has picked up on the tunnel name yet 😂
@@NonstopEurotrip that's good but anyway great video cannot wait to see other videos you have from Slovenia and other places in Europe
I live in Slovenia! But not in Ljubljana, but it's my favourite slovene city.
Greetings! You have a lovely country and friendly people 😊🇸🇮
@@NonstopEurotrip , yes, they are!
Excellent video and for SZ541 ÖBB 1216 if equipped with Belgian Memor II TBL Dutch ATB EG NG in addition to ETCS PZB LZB Sifa then these can go past Aachen Hbf starting point of L37 Aachen Liège (Westward extension of Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen) and Duisburg Hbf the starting point of Hollandstrecke Duisburg-Oberhausen-Arnhem Utrecht Amsterdam railway
Oh no, our crappy old coaches. Feel ashamed when I see them in the international trains. Luckily on the way out, to be replaced by new Flirt units, and SŽ are also thinking of buying 20 new coaches for international traffic.
Btw, both Slovenian and Croatian coaches (which are rebuilt from the same type as Slovenian one, built in Goša in the 70s). are not very well suspended, having old Wegmann bogies. So the bumpy ride is not just because of track condition, the Austrian coaches run much smoother. As some already said, the Karawankentunnel and Jesenice - Ljubljana line are now closed for modernisation until July.
Well the left side of the coach wasn't graffiti'd haha...I'd be interested to try the FLIRTs when they arrive. And the new track 😅 I didn't realise you were Slovenian ☺️🇸🇮

Beautiful scenery 😉. So you asked seating preference ... at this stage of life, comfort comes first. Wallet comes second. Thank God I’ve put myself through school and worked hard enough that wallet can keep financing comfort 👍🏻 ... especially the likes of Italy Frecciarossa Executive Class
Even the 4th class is quite comfortable on Frecciarossa...
Business class would be my choice, I just couldn't justify the extra for executive 🤷🏻♂️🤣
Thanks for the video, we will be taking this train in April, coming from Salzburg and into Ljubljana
We will just have 10 mins to transfer, just hope is enough 😅
😬😬😬
I have travelled to Slovenia in the Summer of 2020, and have taken this particular stretch of track from Ljubljana to Jesenice, but in an old Polish Kibel which I believe is now retired. It truly was a stunning journey, but the best of it came in the ride on the diesel train from Jesenice to Bohinjska Bistrica and then onto the lake Kranj via Arriva coach...I was truly astounded by how unknown the entire area is, but I guess it's a good thing if you're looking into quieter holidays, that was really good. I suggest you have a look at more of the country in the not-so-distant future, before the country becomes raided by higher density mass tourism. ;)
You're right, I have so much more to do in Slovenia!! 👌🏻😎
7:25 It's just like the speed on some zones it's conditioned by the age of the tracks and the problems with the stabilization of the track on the soil
The Karavanke railway tunnel is completely closed atm due to renovation. They also started upgrading railway line between Austria/Jesenice and Kranj. As mentioned in the video, the condition of the rail tracks isn't great.

I'd snipe some curtains from the austrian second class coach compartements - strangely-wise only two equipped anyway ... - to perfect a full-recline Slovene compartment ;) ... of course - rather for a longer journey(overnight for example) - here, on this short and scenic ride, there's rahter no special need for such an operation - the austrian first class coach is a great thing too, probably some of the best available nowadays in first class compartment style - nice video!
Yes I agree with you 👍🏻☺️
Great video! This train is also on my list! I think you chose the best 2nd coach of the whole train. I don't understand that it was so empty and at the same time the ÖBB coaches were quite full. Especially ÖBB's open-plan coach, in addition with a noisy group of Czechs who had an embarrassing comment when you were walking thru :-D
Thank you again Pete! 🙂 I guess all the people who trade down from Germany just wouldn't bother to change coaches. I agree, I picked the best one! Haha it was funny what that Czech guy said 😅🇨🇿

Thank you for an excellent and informative review. I must visit Slovenia ! The carriages in the train all looked good, but I prefer open carriages, like the OBB ones which formed the major part of your train. You didn't mention on-board services, though I noted a OBB restaurant car in the consist. Was that not in service due to the pandemic ?
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️ The restaurant car continued with the other section of the train and for the ride between Villach and Zagreb, there isn't one. Slovenia is a lovely country 👍🏻🇸🇮

I assume when the train, I noticed the locomotive is a multi voltage Siemens Taurus, crossed the Austrian/Slovenian border, the train would've had to slow down. This in order for the locomotive to change from the Austrian voltage of 15KV AC to the Slovenian 3KV DC. I assume it is like on the Brenner pass, between the two voltages, there is a section of the catenary that carries no current, the neutral zone. For example the train coming from Austria would just before the neutral zone the locomotive driver would lower the 15 KV AC pantograph and coast along the track through the neutral zone, not sure the length of the neutral zone. Once it reaches the Slovenian side, the locomotive driver would raise the 3KV DC pantograph, increase to normal speed and on its way. That particular Siemens Taurus, 1216 class in Austrian service, can take all the four European voltages. The 1.5KV DC, only used in the Netherlands and southern France, 3KV DC used in Italy, Slovenia, Belgium, Poland, northern part of the Czech Republic and much of the ex Soviet Union, 15KV AC used by Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Sweden and Norway, 25KV used by the rest of Europe also used in Italy for their very fast trains. If you noticed on that particular Taurus, there are four pantographs each able to take their particular voltage.
Thank for a very interesting comment 😊
The voltage change is at Jesenice, the station on the Slovenian side of the border. I think there is a short neutral section in the middle of the station. Arriving trains can coast in as they are braking for the station stop, and do the voltage change while passengers get on and off the train.
You missed the best part of the trip while you were looking at the toilet, my mother was born in oberaichwald which overlooks the faakersee and to the right you would have seen the burgruine finkenstein as well as the mittagskogel and the Turkenkopf mountains
No I didn't.
Austria and solvonia are in both the EU and schengen area there are no formal immigration or customs checks just a cursory walk through by a few border officers
?
Thank you, nonstop eurotrip! So this is it. A compartment ! It's the least I like on a train, the worst thing that can happen. What did you want to say in 5:00 with your smiley? Happy or not? Me not happy at all! The only time in my life that I ran into a very, very compartmentalized train was 3 years ago, I traveled very, very badly, I felt very uncomfortable, I was suffocating. Nowadays, we prefer airy spaces, open to the outside, with a good view, excellent light, practicality in movement and travel. So, I loved your train trip report because we can see what you went through, which is always different from one train to another, like when we travel ... but I hated this trip report. No, I don't speak English well. I risk and besides I commit false senses. Also, I prefer to say it in French. Excuse me, but I know you understand French. Alors, j'ai adoré vraiment ton trip report car tu nous donnes ton vécu. Les choses que l'on ressent, le bonheur de voyager, changent beaucoup d'un train à l'autre. Pour le dire le plus clairement que je le peux, j'ai beaucoup aimé ton trip report car tu nous montres bien ce vécu, mais je n'ai pas aimé le train en lui-même, je n'aimerais pas voyager dedans, sauf si c'est dans un espace aéré. Ce n'est pas une vidéo que je re-regarderais, mais elle était nécessaire pour qu'on voie bien les différents ressentis dans chacun de tes voyages. Tout ne peut pas être parfait dans chacun des voyages. Ce voyage-ci n'échappe pas à la règle.
That said, you filmed really well! Thanks to you !
Pour le dire en une ligne, tu as très bien montré le désagréable, et c'est ça que j'aime dans ta vidéo. Même si 98% des trains sont superbes et offrent un voyage exceptionnel - n'oublie pas que je suis un passionné des trains - il reste les 2% restants. Hmm. Le train qu'on avait pris était un train très très vieux, ceci expliquant cela. J'adore toutes tes vidéos, car tu nous montres bien le ressenti, c'est ta façon d'expliquer et de montrer les trains qui est exceptionnelle. Concernant le train lui-même, je n'ai plus rien à dire. Merci à toi, énormément. On peut voir toutes les catégories de train (les 98% superbes et les... 2% autres) dans ta galerie de vidéos.
Merci pour le commentaire Louis! comme toujours. Je serais un peu ennuyeux (et cher!) Si je montrais toujours les trains rapides et passionnants et ne couvrais pas les chemins de fer normaux aussi 😃
oh et à 5,00. J'aime les compartiments, tant que je suis seul ou avec qui je voyage 🤣

Even though we don't have good railway service, there is a lot to see 😊

How does one buy an EC train ticket online in advance when it comes to international border crossings? Do you have to use the ÖBB or SŽ website? Is it on both websites?
You can use either 👌🏻
