• Slovenian Bus Timetables - Ljubljana Bus Station: The timetable for national and international buses from Slovenia, not just those from Ljubljana. It also has timetables for buses starting and finishing in surrounding countries; however only the timetables for buses to and from Slovenia are complete.
• Slovenian Rail Timetables: This timetable gives details of trains within Slovenia. For information on the main international train links from Slovenia, go to their International Links page. There are no direct train links from Slovenia to Bosnia; for trains to Brčko, go to the German Rail site and look for trains to Vinkovci, in Croatia, which is a 40 minute drive from Brčko, and has connecting trains to: Gunja, in Croatia, which is about 10 minutes' drive or 30 minutes' walk from Brčko, or Drenovci, in Croatia, which has a connecting train to Brčko that takes about 15 minutes. If you do arrive in Gunja or Vinkovci, you'll need to get a taxi to the Gunja border (which is basically in the town center, Brčko having a slightly weird geography), since no-one in Firefly can drive across the border.
• Croatian Bus timetables - Zagreb Bus Station: The timetable for national and international buses from Croatia. If you're searching for buses to Brčko, and you don't have the letter 'č' on your keyboard, then just enter 'br' and it will offer you a list of options of towns beginning with 'Br', including Brčko, on the drop-down menu. It won't recognise 'Brcko' without the 'č', so don't search for that or you might end up in the wrong town!
• Croatian Train Timetables: this site is currently down; the German Rail site is much easier to use, in any case.
• Bosnia Train Timetables: this site is currently down; again, the German Rail site is much easier to use.
• Belgrade Bus Station: Timetable for national and international buses to and from Belgrade. Again, it won't recognise the word 'Brcko', so if you don't have the letter 'č' on your keyboard, then search for 'Br' and then select Brčko from the drop-down menu.
• German Rail: For train routes and times to and from most European cities. Remember that Belgrade (the capital of Serbia, about 2 hours from Brcko) will be listed as 'Beograd', as English speaking countries are the only ones that call it Belgrade.
• Hostel World: book places at hostels worldwide, including throughout the Former Yugoslavia, if you end up somewhere en route overnight.
• Seat 61's page on Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia: this page has lots of information, including links, times and prices, if you want to travel all the way from London by train. This will take about 24 hours (to Ljubljana), or 26 hours (to Zagreb), and should cost from about £250 - it's much better for the environment than flying!
