Slovenia Question

Was wondering if anyone could confirm whether or not the summer Koper to Budapest trains will be 363 hauled in Slovenia? I know one is now showing on Vagonweb as such but thought had heard a rumour likely to be 541s this year.
Any info much appreciated.

The overnight one was a 363 when I did it last year. Obviously doesn't necessarily mean it'll be the same this year though!

(Was a very interesting service, unlike this year routed along the north of Lake Balaton, so 418 hauled between Balatonfüred and Hodos with a run-round at Ukk. Best enjoyed when you're the only passenger in the entire couchette coach! I did the Rijeka portion, so 342 and 1141 haulage as well.)

They were last year but rumours a few spare 541s so, whilst listed as 363, may well drop a 541.
Runs direct to Budapest this year so no 418s either. Need to make sure it's worth my while making the effort.
Did Rijeka when wires were down along part of the stretch so was 342, 664 and 1141!!! No such luck now.
