Does anybody know the situation with trains in Slovenia and Interrail?

I am currently on my Interrail and arrived in Ljubljana within the hour. I planned this trip months ago and had worked out connections to my hotel. I had set up a new Trip though and the journeys I searched are no longer listed. I planned to just reenter them as I travelled, covering for delays etc.

 

I just went to set up a journey from Ljubljana to Ljubljana Stegne and Rail Planner says there are no routes.

I spoke to a lady in the ticket office and she says I can't use Interrail. She gave me a local 3 day ticket for now. Sadly, she gave me a ticket for 19th because I said I was leaving Ljubljana on 20th. Something list in translation, I think.

I figured I'm happy to pay for local trains but I checked a train I had planned from Ljubljana to Lake Bled and I get the same.

 

The Interrail website doesn't mention Slovenian trains being excluded.

Will I just need to check the Slovenian trains website and add trains manually?

 

Thanks, in advance.

Yeah, I used interrail already without any problem in Slovenia.

Best check traintimes here: https://potniski.sz.si/en/ if you’re app doesn’t give results.

Maybe there are still some issues with some lines, because of the storm weather this summer? Engineering works here and there?

My app shows train times as usual. Do you have the latest update ?

Interrail is valid on Slovenian trains but since tickets are very cheap it is rarely good value to use a pass day.

I'm on 34.1.0. I have automatic updates on.

I have a 2 month continuous pass, so have been using local trains in a few places.

But the ticket I bought today was less than €1 and I'm happy to pay for local transport. I have a local card that my hotel said they can top up. I assume it's like a London Tube card that you just add an amount and tap for journeys.

I got the train from Ljubljana to Stegne fine.

Checked Slovenian railways and plenty of trains to Bled but none show up.

I'll have to add them manually, I guess. I will just check with support as well.

 

Thanks for the answers guys.
