Barriers to Trans-national passenger Rail services in the Western Balkans - The quantitative background
Railway infrastructures and services in former Yugoslavia countries have been in a downward spiral ever since the country began to dismantle in the early 1990ies. Even if there have been scattered initiatives and investments to lift provided services to appealing levels after the war, a continuous downward trend can be identified in all important performance indicators. Not only have the numbers of services dwindled, especially on cross-border relations, service speeds have so, too. For example, the number of the passenger trains on the route Ljubljana – Zagreb – Beograd decreased from 16 in 1989 to 1 in 2018. Numerous lines have been put out of service or not back into service after war-attributed abandonment. A negative apex is marked by the cessation of cross-border passenger services to/from Bosnia and Herzegovina with the winter 2016 timetable change. In the research presented in this paper, taking Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina specifically as our survey objects, we embark on the task to specify and quantify this decade(s)-long deterioration in contrast to a dynamic railway development in other European countries witnessed during the same period. To begin with, we present a quantitative framework to make the deterioration comprehendible in various dimensions, from train numbers via efficiency and productivity indicators to commercial speed development of services. This study is a preliminary research to serve as a basis for a planned larger project, ultimately aiming at reducing the identified barriers in a long term.
