Is the tram to Opicina running again?

Is the tram to Opicina running again?
Save

I am traveling from Venice to Ljubljana and was wondering if the tram to Villa Opicina is in operation again, the last reports I saw suggested it was scheduled to reopen in April. I realize there is a bus from Venice to Ljubljana but I would prefer to travel by train.

Any information would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

An alternative to go to Lubiana by bike and train is to take the train in Hrpelje-Kozina railway station because the stop is at the end of the bike path Cottur (beautiful and panoramic), 15 km ride from the Trieste city center.

In the case see timetable, there are not a lot of trains.

The bus company in Trieste responded and the answer is no. This is because they don't have a luggage compartment underneath and there is not enough room on the bus for a bike. I guess I will have to catch a taxi. Con anyone recommend a reliable taxi company to transport us and our bikes the 6km from Trieste to meet the train in villa opicina please?.

Hi Dalemaizels, I asked to a Taxi company and they say that the service to carry bikes from city center to Opicina is possible. (Maybe it's the same with other companies, so you can search online some taxi numbers and reserve your ride)

Thanks again for the help. We did the Venice Mestre to Trieste train trip yesterday. Just to help those who may not know... you get your ticket from the Trenitalia office (or a machine). Look out for the customer service ticket, for your turn at the desk, if you use the Trenitalia office.

Also to validate your ticket in advance of boarding the train, look for little green machines downstairs before you go up to your platform. (I needed to ask where to find this, and a very helpful passenger brought me back down to show me). Trieste is beautiful.
