Czech Railway Infrastructure Administration (SZDC) completed safety equipment modernisation on the line Břeclav – Brno line.
Besides introducing remote control for safety equipment, the modernisation assured the installation of further technological equipment control on Czech Rail Transit Corridor I in the line section Lanžhot – Břeclav (outside) – Brno (outside).
