Update: The railway is expected to reopen at 17:00 today (Tuesday, 06 August, 2019)
Two or three (reports differ) passenger train cars derailed at the Rimske Toplice train station at around 10:00 Tuesday morning, closing the railway line between Zidani Most and Maribor, a major transport link for both international passenger and cargo traffic. Around 200 people are said to have been on the international train, which was traveling towards Celje, although no injuries have been reported. A shuttle bus service is now being offered to replace the scheduled trains.
Updates to this story may be posted on the railway operator’s twitter account.
