Travelling Will Change Completely
There are many advantages to High-Speed Lines. But the main thing is that as part of the Fast Connections (RS) scheme, HSL provides a new transport backbone that fundamentally changes the face of public transport. High-speed trains will connect to further transport, including ordinary trains, buses and municipal transport. The design of the HSL infrastructure also takes into account the fact that many users of high-speed railway will arrive at the HSL terminal by car or bicycle.

Everything Will be Much Closer
In many parts of Europe, HSL have been part of everyday life for decades. High-speed trains reach speeds of over 300 km/h, making them competitive with air travel over medium distances. The planned operating speed in the Czech Republic is 320 km/h. And within 10 years we will see the first complete section of high-speed railway.
