Other Services
There is a narrow gauge railway between Gulbene and Aluksne, operated by the Industrial Heritage Trust, using Russian and Polish built heritage rolling stock. Three narrow gauge trains a day operate on the 33 km route between the two towns. Until 2012 a regular Saturday service train operated from Riga to Gulbene in the morning, returning in the late afternoon, and offering guaranteed connections with the narrow gauge trains; the service has been suspended on the grounds of insufficient passenger numbers.
