Slovenia completes ETCS rollout on two lines totalling 90 km

The introduction of the ETCS train protection system is complete on the Dobova–Zidani Most and Pragersko–Maribor–Šentilj lines, about 90 km in total; the infrastructure directorate reports completion for 2025. The project ran in several phases from 2017 to 2024 and cost about EUR 22.5 million, of which over EUR 6 million came from EU funds (Connecting Europe Facility); it is meant to raise safety and interoperability and to allow cross-border traffic without locomotive changes. The date is a placeholder: the article only gives the year 2025 for completion. (LOK Report, 11 Nov 2025)
