Map of planned high-speed railroad in the Czech Republic and neighboring countries

High-speed rail in the Czech Republic is being planned with construction starting in 2026 and maximum speed between 200 and 320 km/h. Although České Dráhy owns and operates multiple rolling stock capable of speeds of Шаблон:Convert since 2004, there is, as of 2023, no infrastructure capable of velocity over Шаблон:Convert. The only exception is the 13.3-kilometre long track at Velim railway test circuit with a maximum allowed speed of Шаблон:Convert for tilting trains and up to Шаблон:Convert for conventional trains.[1] Czech rolling stock manufacturer Škoda Transportation has produced high-speed rolling stock since the 1970s.

Infrastructure

The basis for Czech high-speed rail was laid down in 2017 when the Government approved the High-Speed Rail Development Program.[2] According to this program, the following routes, referred to as "RS", (standing for rychlá spojení, fast connections) will be developed:

The development will include the construction of new lines as well as upgrade existing lines to Шаблон:Convert.[3] New high-speed routes will consist of the following shorter sections:

Pilot projects

In 2018 SŽDC identified following three shorter sections as pilot projects:[19][20]

  • VRT Polabí (HST Polabí) - Prague - Poříčany (30 km) - part of future RS1 and RS5
  • VRT Jižní Morava (HST South Moravia) - Brno - Vranovice - part of future RS2
  • VRT Moravská brána (HST Moravian Gate) - Přerov - Ostrava - part of future RS1

Train stations planning

Along the high-speed route RS1 (Prague-Brno-Ostrava), several new train stations are planned. Just south to the D11 motorway in the town of Nehvizdy in the Prague-East District, the new Prague East Terminal (Terminál Praha východ) is being planned.[21][22] This station will be a transport hub as a part of the RS1 and RS5 (Prague-Liberec/Hradec Králové) routes and will mainly serve residents of the northeastern part of the Central Bohemian Region. Along RS1, the high-speed line will be connected via a branch line to the train station of Světlá nad Sázavou, which will be reconstructed.[5]

Close to highway exit 112 on the D1 motorway in the Jihlava District, a new Jihlava train station (terminál Jihlava VRT) is planned as part of RS1.[6] This station will also be connected to the regional railway between Jihlava and Havlíčkův Brod and serve as a transport hub for the Vysočina Region. Another new station to the west of Velká Bíteš is planned on a branch line from the RS1 towards the regional railway between Havlíčkův Brod and Brno.[7]

In the south of Brno, the new train station Brno-Vídeňská is planned to serve the region around Brno and to prevent unnecessary traffic to Brno main railway station in the city centre.[23]

One new train station is planned along the high-speed route RS4 (Prague - Ústí nad Labem). This new train station (Terminál Roudnice nad Labem VRT) will be constructed to the west of Roudnice nad Labem and will serve as a transfer hub in the Litoměřice District.[24]

SŽ is also considering upgrading of some ETCS-equipped Шаблон:Convert tracks to Шаблон:Convert and also upgrading some current Шаблон:Convert projects to Шаблон:Convert.[25] In 2020 SŽ called for bids to upgrade ongoing Шаблон:Convert Soběslav - Doubí project and Шаблон:Convert Sudoměřice – Votice project to Шаблон:Convert, both projects are on Prague - České Budějovice route.[26]

Rolling stock operated in the Czech Republic

Since 2004 České dráhy have been operating seven ČD Class 680 sets. These Pendolino-based trains are capable of operating at Шаблон:Convert and were intended for operation on the Berlin - Prague - Vienna route.[27] While testing from Břeclav to Brno on 18 November 2004, the ČD Class 680 reached a speed of Шаблон:Convert and created a new Czech railway speed record.[28] In reality ČD Class 680 were never operated in Germany and appeared only in Austria and Slovakia; since 2012 they have only operated on domestic routes and in Slovakia.[29]

From 2010 České dráhy are receiving delivery of 20 new ČD Class 380 locomotives capable of a speed of Шаблон:Convert,[30] they operate also tens of passenger cars capable of that speed (classes 10-91, 21-91, 72-91 and 88-91). In 2013 České dráhy also ordered 7 Railjet trains capable of a speed of Шаблон:Convert.

Rolling stock manufactured in the Czech Republic

In 1974 and 1979 Škoda produced 12 Škoda 66Е locomotives capable of a speed of Шаблон:Convert for the Soviet Union. These were designated as Chs200 (ЧС200) and were used mainly on the Nevsky Express train on the Moscow – Saint Petersburg Railway. The locomotives were refurbished in the 1990s and during testing in 2007 one locomotive reached a speed of Шаблон:Convert.[31]

Since 2008 Škoda has been producing Skoda 109E locomotives capable of a speed over Шаблон:Convert. The ČD Class 380 batch is certified for Шаблон:Convert,[32] just as future DB Class 102, however the Slovak ZSSK Class 381 batch only for a speed of Шаблон:Convert. Along with DB Class 102 will be delivered batch of double decker trainsets with construction speed of Шаблон:Convert, although legislatively limited to Шаблон:Convert.

Future rolling stock

České dráhy aimed to make their fleet ready for speeds over 200km/h by issuing a tender of procuring new rolling stock. In 2021 the consortium of Siemens Mobility and Škoda Transportation has won the tender for 20 Viaggio Comfort non-traction units with eight passenger cars and a passenger control car, enabling push-pull operation. With designed operating speed of Шаблон:Convert, the delivery is expected to start from 2024 to 2026 and the order is valued at around half a billion EUR.[33]

The cars will be approved for operation in the Czech Republic and neighbouring European countries such as Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland. The non-traction units will be used with Siemens Vectron MS locomotives ordered separately in 2022, with deliveries starting in 2025 and an initial amount of 50 locomotives with designated speed of Шаблон:Convert.[34]
