First Pendolino Train Arrives in Maribor

Maribor, 19 July - A first Slovene high speed electric train arrived at the Maribor train station on Wednesday. The ICS train (Inter CitySlovenija) is the first Pendolino train bought by Slovene Railways from the Italian producer FiatFerroviaria. It will start operating between Ljubljana and Maribor as of 24 September when the winter time table takes effect. The new train will shorten the journey between the two largest Slovene cities to no more than an hour and 45 minutes.
