Seeing how they do it elsewhere - Slovenia

« on: June 02, 2026, 22:03:58 »

From Villach to Ljubljana and back today, using local trains. Not the original intent as I had intended to go to Nova Gornia, but my train from Villach left there a few minutes late, got held up at loops because it was out of path, and we arrived at Jelenice just after the ongoing train had left. Next one, 2 or 3 hours. Sound familiar?

Here are some pictures and I thing they all show things you would not see in England
