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.
