Czech Railways (ČD) and Slovak Rail (ZSSK) have accelerated the connection from the Czech capital to Košice and the Tatras. The historically fastest connection between Prague and eastern Slovakia – almost an hour faster than present connections – will be provided by Czech Pendolino high-speed trains. Both national carriers will jointly participate in its operation.
“We chose ČD’s Pendolino because we believe the quality and extent of its services have good potential at the start of direct competition with private rail carriers in Slovakia. We also believe that it will motivate a large current of passengers travelling to the Czech Republic to shift over from buses and automobiles to trains,” said Jozef Schmidt, director of sales at Slovak Rail.
