RS = FC / Fast Connections |
VRT = HSL / High-Speed Lines |
Fast Connections / RS are defined as the operational and infrastructural system of rapid railways within Czech territory. In addition to the new High-Speed Lines, they also include lines modified for speeds up to 200 km/h and other upgraded conventional lines with speeds up to 160 km/h.
High-Speed Lines / VRT are therefore an integral part of Fast Connections. They are currently expected to have a maximum operating speed of 320 km/h.
The proposed line service would allow high-speed trains to use not only the high-speed lines, but also, due to the system of interconnections and exits, modernised conventional infrastructure as well.
We are Preparing these Particular Sections of High-Speed Lines:
- RS 1 VRT Praha – Brno – Ostrava
- RS 2 VRT Brno – Břeclav
- RS 4 VRT Praha – Ústí nad Labem – Dresden
- RS 5 VRT Praha – Hradec Králové / Pardubice – Wroclaw
