Perform only in advance. In Duchcov, trains will not fit to the platform after modernization

“In response, we immediately took internal security measures. Guides on long-distance trains that stop at Duchcov station are informed that in Duchcov it is possible to get off safely only from the first 4 cars of the set, “said Czech Railways spokeswoman Vanda Rajnochová.

Bikes and prams must be stored in the front cars of the set before climbing in Duchcov. “For most trains, this means less restrictions, for one pair of trains (R 604/605) it is necessary to notify passengers of up to 3 cars in this way,” she added.

It needs a platform 80 meters longer, say Czech Railways

Czech Railways has already pointed out the problem to the Ministry of Transport as the client and the Railway Administration. We find out their opinion. In reality, however, there may also be a situation where the stopping of express trains in Duchcov is canceled. “If the customer continues to insist on stopping the express trains in Duchcov, then we recommend extending the platforms to a length of 200 meters,” added Rajnochová.

In June, the railway administration boasted of modernizing the Facebook stop. In addition to the new platform, the underpass was reconstructed and the stairs were reduced.

The event is part of the construction of the modernization of the line between Oldřichov u Duchcova and Bílina for 1.9 billion crowns. During the construction, a complete reconstruction takes place, which will allow acceleration up to 140 km / h. It is due to end in 2021.

The author of the project is the company Sudop Prague. The entire project, including the 120-meter-long platform, was approved by the Central Commission of the Ministry of Transport. The Railway Administration and the Ministry of Transport were asked for an opinion, which we will add after sending it.
