Humphrey Appleby Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Thinking of doing Daugavpils this year , does anybody know how many trains go between Riga and Daugavpils on a Saturday and where I could maybe find a timetable. Has Riga been dumped already as a venue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Thinking of doing Daugavpils this year , does anybody know how many trains go between Riga and Daugavpils on a Saturday and where I could maybe find a timetable. Thanks in advance this website I have always found excellent for European rail travel http://www.bahn.de/p_en/view/index.shtml  Doesn`t look as if July yet is available-however put up other dates and it appears there is only 1 train per day !! it would have to be out Friday 18.35 direct train 3 hours back Sunday morning 06.25 direct train 3 hours.  Looks as if bus might be the better option http://www.1188.lv/transport/bus/schedule?from=R%C4%ABgas+SAO&to=Daugavpils+AO&date=2015-07-18 appears to be also an excellent website showing plenty of buses during the day. bus station is next to the main Riga railway station.

PHILIPRISING Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Has Riga been dumped already as a venue? WAS always the intention to alternate but a lot of work being done at the Riga track so wouldn't be surprised to see it back in the near future and not just for a SGP... this website I have always found excellent for European rail travel http://www.bahn.de/p_en/view/index.shtml  Doesn`t look as if July yet is available-however put up other dates and it appears there is only 1 train per day !! it would have to be out Friday 18.35 direct train 3 hours back Sunday morning 06.25 direct train 3 hours.  Looks as if bus might be the better option http://www.1188.lv/transport/bus/schedule?from=R%C4%ABgas+SAO&to=Daugavpils+AO&date=2015-07-18 appears to be also an excellent website showing plenty of buses during the day. bus station is next to the main Riga railway station. WOULD be a long trip by bus ... normally takes around three hours by car on sub-standard roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
