RegioJet requires travel to Croatia via Austria, as shown in the draft timetable
Trains between Poland and Croatia have six stops in the Czech Republic, including Ostrava and Břeclav.
For the first time, RegioJet will probably use a faster route through Austria for its trains to Croatia. It should cover connections from Poland and will also be available to passengers from the eastern part of the Czech Republic.
Fill it out with the information you publish Office for Access to Transport Infrastructure in RegioJet’s announcement of a new planned route from Poland to Rijeka and Split, Croatia. This is to complete the connection from Prague to the Adriatic. RegioJet is so far more cautious in its plans with the new line and counts on only three connections a week, unlike the daily connection from Prague.
According to the draft timetable, the train could leave Krakow at 3.30 pm and 6 pm from Ostrava. On the Czech territory, stop in Hranice, Přerov, Otrokovice and Břeclav. From Břeclav, however, unlike the train from Prague, it will not go through Bratislava, but Vienna and Graz to Zábřeh and Ogulin. Here the train is divided into two parts: to Rijeka and Split. It will be in Rijeka at 8:36, in Split at 12:21. The train will return at 15:30 from Split and 18:35 from Rijeka, in Ostrava at 9:33. Trains are to run on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays to the Adriatic, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays back.
According to RegioJet spokesman Aleš Ondrůj, the second train will continue to travel through Bratislava. “It will also serve the Slovak clientele, which made up about a tenth of the passengers,” Ondrůj explained. The reason is also that for the section Prague – Bratislava it uses the assigned route of Bratislava connections.
Via Hungary outside Budapest
After evaluating last season, RegioJet has already confirmed that there will be a change in the route of trains through Hungary. RegioJet had to deal with some long-delayed connections during the season, such as accidents from other carriers, locomotive failures or track restrictions due to closures or natural disasters. Problems often occurred due to exclusions on the Czech side, the train often crossed the border with an hour’s delay.
Trains avoid Budapest, where travel times have become unnecessarily long. “In particular, due to closures on Hungarian territory and also lengthy border clearance at the Croatian-Hungarian border, there were delays with an impact on the treatment of trains at the Prague and Split turning stations,“Ondrůj added. Shaking is supposed to enable a larger time reserve in the timetable, especially during train turns in Split and Prague.
Trains on the route Prague – Split / Rijeka carried 98,145 passengers this year. This is an increase of 50% compared to last season.
