This HSL will include a comprehensive solution for the regional capital Jihlava and its surroundings, including one station and a connection to the Jihlava interchange at Pávov. Long-distance trains will now stop at today's Jihlava město station, which will undergo reconstruction. In addition, the city of Jihlava is preparing a transport terminal in front of this station. Direct High-Speed trains will take about 50 minutes to Prague and 40 minutes to Brno.

 

VRT Will Include Several Connections to the Conventional Railway Network:

  • In the direction of Jihlava from Praha/Prague and Brno, for permanent operation of long-distance trains on Praha/Prague – Jihlava and Brno – Jihlava
  • In the direction of Světlá nad Sázavou (from Brno), for emergency use in case of unexpected occurrences and for line maintenance
