CROATIA
Current status
The most relevant critical issues are related to:
a) the existing limitations to train length (360 to 600m) on all the sections
belonging to the Corridor, especially on the stretch from Rijeka up to Zagreb,
where maximum admissible train length is limited to 360 meters
b) the only railway lines that allow train speed above 100 km/h are Dugo Selo-
Koprivnica and Moravice-Ogulin
c) the urban node of Zagreb suffers from a lack of capacity in the short-medium
term
d) rail last mile interconnections to Rijeka Port shall be enhanced; in particular
Zagreb-Rijeka railway line suffers from low technical standards with unfavourable
route characterised by hard ascents, sharp and low radiant curves
e) the missing railway last mile connection to Zagreb airport
f) the entire Corridor railway alignment in Croatia is not equipped with ERTMS,
the available signalling system is APS.
On-going and planned main interventions
