High-speed rail in the Czech Republic

High-speed rail in the Czech Republic is being planned with construction starting in 2026 and maximum speed between 200 and 320 km/h.

Just south to the D11 motorway in the town of Nehvizdy in the Prague-East District, the new Prague East Terminal (Terminál Praha východ) is being planned.

Another new station to the west of Velká Bíteš is planned on a branch line from the RS1 towards the regional railway between Havlíčkův Brod and Brno.

České dráhy aimed to make their fleet ready for speeds over 200km/h by issuing a tender of procuring new rolling stock.

With designed operating speed of 230 km/h (143 mph), the delivery is expected to start from 2024 to 2026 and the order is valued at around half a billion EUR.
