The project also includes the construction of a fourth track from Běchovice to Libeň, which will ensure sufficient capacity of a line that is currently very busy with long-distance and suburban transport, and the implementation of the Jahodnická branch line, which will enable smooth passage for freight trains through Prague. A connection to the Praha-Zahradní Město station is planned, providing additional capacity and significantly increasing operational reliability. VRT Praha (HSL Prague) will thus strengthen the capacity of the Prague transport node not only for High-Speed Lines, but also for suburban trains and freight transport. This section will also include facilities for maintenance and depot of High-Speed Trains in Strašnice.
