Karlovo on the Sub-Balkan main line acts as both a through station and terminus for services from departure points like Straldzha, Sliven, Dabovo and Plovdiv. Working a Plovdiv service on 13th October 2023 is BDZ PP SIEMENS EMU Set No. 30021/30022. It has terminated here at Karlovo and is captured waiting time for the return run south back towards Bulgaria's second city, Plovdiv. However, on this occasion day time engineering work will see the last part of the journey completed by a bus replacement service, the train thus running as the SUB82205 (12:20) Karlovo to Filipovo.
