Leo Express, the third railway carrier on the route between Prague and Ostrava, has published a timetable. From December 9, he should start driving on the line between Prague and Bohumín at approximately two-hour intervals. The first connection from Prague’s main railway station will depart on weekdays at 04:29 and arrive in Ostrava at 07:52. In the opposite direction, the first train will leave at 04:22.
On weekdays, Leo Express will make eight connections in both directions, and an additional one on Friday and Sunday.
According to an earlier statement, the carrier would like to start operation on the line before December, ideally during November. In this mode, according to spokesman Petr Kopáček, the carrier counts on half the number of connections. The decision whether the carrier actually operates in advance, but belongs to the Railway Authority, which approves the use of vehicles. Leo Express started testing on the track only a week ago after performing tests on the test circuit.
