Good to Know
Final Destination: Ljubljana*
Note that this train departs from Deli station in Budapest and NOT from Keleti station.
* Due to the border controls that are now in place between Hungary and Slovenia, you MAY have to leave the train from Budapest when it arrives at the town before the Hungarian border.
You MAY then have to take a bus across the border and then board another train to continue the journey on to Ljubljana.
It's worth checking with the conductor IF this will be the case when your ticket/reservation is inspected, as it's unlikely that this information will be announced in English on the train.
(The European Rail Timetable states that EC trains are used on the service, but you will be travelling on a train that's no different to a Hungarian IC train).
