The year 2025 will be a year of continued “construction offensive” for everyone involved in transport and for users, further safety improvements on rail and road, continued digitalisation of transport agendas and public transport development.
Správa železnic will have CZK 62.7 billion available for the renewal of lines and stations in 2025. This is almost one billion more than in 2024. A record 39.3 billion will be spent on investments, thanks to which the modernisation of the important Česká Třebová node will start, among other things. Next year, the construction of the first parts of the 200 km/h high-speed line from Brno to Přerov will begin, and intensive preparation of high-speed lines will continue.
Already before the summer, the first passengers could take a ride on ČD's most modern ComfortJet long-distance train. České dráhy (Czech Railways) is counting on their first deployment in operation on selected connections Prague – Bohumín and Bohumín – Prague – Františkovy Lázně, in a temporary eight-car arrangement without the steering and restaurant car. Steps are currently being taken to hand over the first train produced by the consortium of Siemens Mobility and Škoda Group to ČD.
