# Missing trains in international schedule and a proposal

Dear SŽ, dear ÖBB,

I am a frequent traveller on Graz - Ljubljana trains and I regularly follow changes to the international schedules on my relation. I have noticed that multiple trains are missing in international schedules. Some ob OBB, others on SŽ website.

On OBB Scotty:
From Graz to Ljubljana there is a missing possible journey at 7.10 from Graz:
Graz - Spielfeld: 7:10 - 7:59 (S5 4011)
Spielfeld - Ljubljana: 8:04 - 10:05 (ICS 31) (MISSING TRAIN)

From Ljubljana to Graz there is another missing journey at 5:35 from Ljubljana:
Ljubljana - Maribor: 5:35 - 7:34 (IC 512)
Maribor - Spielfeld: 7:40 - 7:55 (ICS 30) (MISSING TRAIN)
Spielfeld - Graz: 8:00 - 8:51 (S5 4108)

From Ljubljana to Graz there is another missing journey at 5:35 from Ljubljana:
Ljubljana - Maribor: 12:36 - 14:22 (ICS 36)
Maribor - Spielfeld: 14:25 - 14:40 (ICS 32) (MISSING TRAIN, the train just renumbered and continues to Spielfeld)
Spielfeld - Graz: 14:46 - 15:22 (S5 4108)

On SŽ Website there is no international schedule other then static pages:
on potniski.sz.si/gradec/ missing journeys are: (only journeys with sensible travelling times are included)
Ljubljana - Graz
5.35 - 8.51 - (IC)+ICS30+S (3:16)
10.55 - 14.50 - LP+S (3:55)
12.37 - 15.22 - ICS36/32+D (2:47)

Graz - Ljubljana
7.10 - 10.05 - S+ICS31 (2:55)
13.10 - 17.10 - S+LP+IC(S) (4:00)
16.27 - 19.40 - REX+LP+IC(S)521 (3:13) (An very underrated connection)

Furthermore, I have complained multiple times to SŽ to consider changing the schedule of ICS 33 that leaves from Spielfeld to Maribor at 15:17 and misses a connection for ICS train to Ljubljana, to 15.04 (trainset is already present at Spielfeld at the time). Such a change would enable one of the fastest connections between Graz and Ljubljana at 3:00 instead of the current 4:00. The journey would be:

Graz - Spielfeld:  14.10 - 14:59 (S5 4121)
Spielfeld - Maribor: 15:04 - 15:19 (ICS 33) (MOVED FROM 15:17 TO 15.04)
Maribor - Ljubljana: 15:20 - 17:10 (IC 519) (Run by ICS trainsets)
Travel time: 3 hours

Such change would break the connection between D155 and ICS 33, but the current ICS 33 has no further connection at Maribor which is a shame.

I would kindly ask OBB to look into this, because the following proposal has only fallen to deaf ears at SŽ.

Thank you for your time. At the end of the day, I am just a passenger that is scared that trains are going to be cancelled because of low load factors. I hope that my comments and proposals can help improve the connectivity between Ljubljana and Graz.

In hope of solving this, I have sent this to both OBB and to SŽ.

Regards,
Urban Suhadolnik
