Vilnius-Rīga-Tallinn train services launch Monday / Article

The journey will take around 10.5 hours in total and tickets for each leg must be bought separately from each carrier: Vilnius-Riga from LTG Link, Riga-Valga from Vivi, and Valga-Tallinn from Elron. The management of all three carriers – Vivi, Elron and LTG Link – will ride the train on Monday to assess the benefits of the route.

Note that this is not a single journey as of now; it is rather three train trips, one within each country, the timetables of which have been adjusted so you can take all three in succession.

For now, the connection will be implemented with rolling stock from all three carriers and will have two transfers – one in Riga and the other in Valga, with a connection time of 12-19 minutes. 

According to the approved timetable, LTG Link’s daily diesel train service from Vilnius to Tallinn, Vilnius (07:05) – Riga (11:04), has been adapted to the Vivi diesel train service Riga (11:16) – Valga (13:51), which is coordinated with the Elron diesel train service Valga (14:10) – Tallinn (17:34). On the Tallinn-Vilnius route, Elron’s daily diesel train Tallinn (10:25) – Valga (13:54) has been adapted for Vivi’s diesel train Valga (14:11) – Riga (16:37), which is coordinated with LTG Link’s diesel train Riga (16:55) – Vilnius (21:03).

The total journey time from Tallinn to Vilnius is currently around 10.5 hours. However, after the completion of the railway infrastructure repairs in Estonia, the journey time is expected to decrease by about one hour.

The Vilnius-Riga-Tallinn train service includes the following stops:

Vilnius, Kaišiadorys, Jonava, Kėdainiai, Radvilškis, Šiauliai, Joniškis in Lithuania;  Jelgava, Riga, Zemitāni, Jugla, Inčukalns, Sigulda, Līgatne, Ieriķi, Cēsis, Lode, Valmiera, Strenči, Lugaži in Latvia; Valga, Elva, Tartu, Jõgeva, Tamsalu, Tapa, Ülemiste, Kitseküla, Tallinn in Estonia.
