Spur (upgraded siding) to a single-platform temporary station opened 04 July 2017 located in the former Praha-Bubny freight yard near to the Vltavska Metro station on Line C. This is due to closure of the line from Praha Bubny to Praha Masarykovo nadrazi (excluded) for major reconstruction of the 1850 vintage "Negrelli" viaduct over the Vltava River, in connection with the upgrade and electrification of the line as part of construction of the long overdue Praha airport link. The main line was re-opened on 1 June 2020 when the temporary station was  closed to regular services.
 
There are no trains in the 2020-2021 timetable.

It is assumed these services will reverse in the Praha-Liben station area; any reports would be appreciated by the compilers.
One pair of trains in the 2023-2024 timetable use this mainly freight-only route.

This branch runs from the SW apex of the triangle at Liberec-Rochlice in a northerly direction, paralleling the line to Liberec station, but on the opposite (east) side of the E442 motorway to the DPML tram depot, slightly beyond Aquapark Babylon. In previous years KŽC Doprava] have operated a Česká Kamenice - Liberec - Aquapark Babylon train pair on Summer Saturdays. This was not shown in the timetable except as a footnote to Train Sp1280 in table 086 saying "the train will come from the siding of the Aquapark Babylon and DPM Liberec". <b>Note %:</b> No timings are given in the CD timetable for Aquapark Babylon.  In 2019 the train arrived at Aquapark Babylon at 10:45, with 14:50 the booked departure time. Note that in 2016 it had been known to depart 15 minutes early.  
Services using this route reverse in the Praha-Libeň station area. There has been a late night pair of trains using this route for many years but none are shown in the 2023/24 timetable, possibly a temporary consequence of work connected with the reconstruction of Praha Masarykovo nádraží.

This line used to see regular steam excursions on summer weekends operated by the ČD Museum at Lužná, although these ceased at the start of the 2022 season due to withdrawal of subsidy from the Středočeský region. The line does however remain open and occasional excursions still operate.

This freight line and 3.3km freight branch has a passenger service, operated by KŽC Doprava, s.r.o., annually in connection with the Czech Republic International Championship of Pump Trolley Racing. This [http://www.pakove-dreziny.cz/eng/index.html event] is held on the Czech-Saxon Harbour Company (Česko-saské přístavy, s.r.o.) River Labe quay sidings at Děčín-Loubí and in 2020 was on 29 August. The competition is usually limited to 10 teams competing over a 1.67km length siding traversed three times.
===Most-Kopisty station avoiding line via Most nové nádraží odjezd - Most nové nádraží příjezd - Most nové n.st.7 [- Most-Minerva]===
[135] (ERA-E 92B3; ERA-R 190A3; not shown on either; ''07A'') CZ24/6


Click on the thumbnail for a full size map.
Most-Kopisty station lies on a single track route on the north east side of a locomotive depot and two Most - Moldava v Krušných horách train pairs operated by ČD, a.s. are shown with the symbol to take an alternative route avoiding this station. If they do they use a 1.6km alternative line to the west side of the locomotive depot and in the past has been scheduled to avoid trains going in the opposite direction calling at Most-Kopisty which could be ČD or Die Länderbahn CZ s.r.o services.
[[File:Decin pristav Loubí.jpg|50px|thumb|left]]<br style="clear: both" />


A search in mid-July did not find details of the 2020 connecting train timings which the KŽC Magazine confirmed as running so the 2019 timings [http://www.pakove-dreziny.cz/jizdni-rad-2019.pdf remain shown as a guide].
In 2022 the relevant services were SSuX and two attempts on a Thursday and Friday in early June 2022 failed as the 16:42, then 06:42 (as they then were) trains although clearly indicated in the timetable to take the alternative route waited for the southbound train to clear the normal route which they then took. It should also be noted that of the 2023 examples, Os26805 and Os26806 although clearly indicated in the timetable as diverting do not clash with a service in the opposite direction and a journey on 28605 on 23 April 2023 ran via Most-Kopisty. '''Further reports would be appreciated by the Compilers'''.

===Most-Kopisty===
[135] (ERA 190A3; not shown, ''07A'') CZ21/7
 
Most-Kopisty station lies on a single track route on the north east side of a locomotive depot. Two Most - Moldava v Krušných horách train pairs operated by ČD, a.s. are booked to not call at Most-Kopisty, to cross southbound and northbound Most - Osek město trains operated by Die Länderbahn CZ s.r.o., using a line on the opposite side of the locomotive depot which avoids Most Kopisty station. As the Most - Osek město trains are SSuX, this routing may only occur when both sets of trains are operating: confirmation is required.

===Čáslav voj. letiště Chotusice===

(ERA 191B1, not shown; ''38'') CZ21/8
[140] (ERA-E 92B1-92B2; ERA-R 189B2; ''16'') CZ24/7


A 4.7km long branch runs northwards from the Třemošnice branch platform at Čáslav to serve Chotusice air base, home of the ''21. základna taktického letectva'' (21st Tactical Air Force Base). There is a shuttle service when there is an air show at the base to a covered platform on the base perimeter adjacent to a 3km post, 3.3km from the Třemošnice branch platforms.
This line bypasses Chodov station on the south side and the following trains using it are recognisable in the timetable by the vertical wavy line marking against Chodov.  


A service ran on 20 May 2017, with departures from Čáslav at 09:15, 10:15, 11:15, 12:15, 13:15, 14:00, 15:00, 16:00 and 17:00. This is an event that takes place every two years and the last event was on 25 May 2019,so the next event is likely to be in May 2021.

=== Česká Třebová yard staff train===
E1: SSuO 8 June to 22 September 2024
[260, 270] (ERA 192A1; ''83A'') CZ21/9


An unadvertised service has been observed in recent years leaving at approximately 14:00 from a short concrete platform, one track further over from the last public platform at Česká Třebová station. It turns off the main line about 200 m south of the station and follows what are shown as lines 91 or 93 in the Malkus ''Atlas Drah'' - west of the locomotive depot, where there is a stop. It continues past the roundhouse and turntable and terminates at a platform opposite what is probably the hump control tower.
===(Pardubice -) Břevnice (odbočka Kubešův Mlýn) – Havlíčkův Brod (HB St. Tunel)===
This is clearly an “end of shift” service as it is lightly loaded leaving Česká Třebová but very busy on the return working. The service is not intended for public use, so access may be refused. '''The compilers would appreciate information on this or any other such services that may run at other shift change times.'''  
[238] (ERA-E 91A1,not shown, ERA-R 196B5; ''56'') CZ24/8
 
This route has also been used in recent years by special shuttle services that run to the yards when there is an open day at the depot.


A depot Open Day was held on 15 September 2018 when these shuttle services were scheduled to run. No reports for 2019 or 2020.
Havlíčkův Brod is a V-shaped station: platforms 1 - 4 serve the main (Praha -) Kolin - Brno line and platform 5, at an angle, is the shorter and usual route to/from odb. Kubešův Mlýn (- Pardubice).  The rare route to/from the Pardubice line (table 238) is a 400m connection between HB St. Tunel on the Pardubice - Havlíčkův Brod line and odbočka Kubešův Mlýn. Click on the thumbnail for a full size map.
[[File:Havlickuv Brod.jpg|50px|thumb|left]] <br style="clear: both" />


=== Česká Třebová goods lines===
It is not possible to tell from the timetable which route trains to/from the Pardubice line will use, but the usual is to/from platform 5 and drivers normally change ends after arrival at Havlíčkův Brod platform 5 so do not run via the Brno line as a "balloon loop".  Only table 238 services booked to use platforms 1 - 4 are certain to run via HB St. Tunel so '''the compilers would greatly appreciate information of any such services using 1 - 4 as they are not shown on the Platform departure sheets.'''
[260, 270] (ERA 192A1; ''83A'') CZ21/10


Steam specials originating at Česká Třebová sometimes run via the goods lines, although this is not always obvious from the advance information. Prospective patrons should enquire further.
This route was used between March and December 2021 by all trains on this line when the normal route via the northern curve was unavailable due to engineering works. Informed sources suggest none were scheduled in 2022/23.
Use of the following routes has been reported:


*(Ústí nad Orlicí -) odb. Parnik - line 100 - 180° curve - marshalling yard - Česká Třebová
===Brno Area===
*Česká Třebová - line 200 - odb. Les - odb. Zádulka (- Brno)
There are a number of obscure routes in the area around the city. There is also a large marshalling yard north of Brno, at Maloměřice, with non-passenger connections which see occasional use.
*Česká Třebová - line 200 - odb. Les - 180° curve - Třebovice v Čechách (- Olomouc)
*(Olomouc -) Třebovice v Čechách - ''Vjezdová kolej od Olomouce'' - marshalling yard - Česká Třebová

====(Brno hl.n. - ) Křenovice horní n. – Holubice====
[260, 300] (ERA-E 95B2; ERA-R 197B3-B4; ''75'') CZ24/9


===Bílovice nad Svitavou (odb. Hady) – Brno Maloměřice Yard – Brno-Židenice===
Most trains on the Brno - Přerov line use the connection between Blažovice (on the Brno - Veselí nad Moravou line) and Holubice. Some services run via the more southerly, single track route via Sokolnice-Telnice, on which there is a regular service between Brno hl.n. and Křenovice horní nádraží. Trains can be identified in Table 300 by a vertical wavy line against Blažovice. Route changes are sometimes made for pathing reasons to accommodate late running.
[260] (ERA 197B4 not shown, ''79A'') CZ21/11


Access to/egress from the north end of Maloměřice Yard from/to the Praha - Česká Třebová - Skalice nad Svitavou - Brno line is provided by two connections from odb. Hady, one on the north side of the main line and one on the south side. Several routes are possible through Maloměřice Yard. This route was used in the 2017-2018 Timetable period by Os4051 Blansko - 15:57 Bílovice nad Svitavou - Brno-Židenice which was allowed 8 min from Bílovice nad Svitavou  to  Brno-Židenice, as opposed to the 5 or 6 min allowed for all other trains, and was the only train to terminate at Brno-Židenice, so it seems probable that this was the booked route. However, there are no similar trains in the 2020-2021 timetable.
Note that both routes are shown in ERA-R as Line/Table 300 but stopping services on the Sokolnice route are in Table 260.
A connection from the Havlíčkův Brod - Tišnov - Brno line into Maloměřice Yard is available at odb. Brno-Obřany. Both routes have been used in the past (e.g. June - August 2015) when there has been an engineering blockade.


===Brno freight avoiding line: Brno-Horní Heršpice – Brno dolní nádraží – odb. Táborská – Brno-Židenice===
[250/251/260] (ERA 197B4, ''79A'') CZ21/12
Previously used by engineering diversions between 09 December 2018 and 14 December 2019 while Brno hl.n was closed as a through station and in use between Saturday July 4 and August 2 2020 due to work between Hl n and Brno-Židenice.
The 2019/20 timetable contained just two trains and these continue in the 2020-2021 timetable

===Křenovice horní n. – Holubice===
[300] (ERA 197B3-B4; ''75'') CZ21/13
Most trains on the Brno - Přerov line use the connection between Blažovice (on the Brno - Veselí nad Moravou line) and Holubice. Some services run via the more southerly, single track line 300, on which there is a regular service between Brno Chrlice and Křenovice horní nádraží. Trains can be identified in the timetable by a vertical wavy line against Blažovice. Route changes are sometimes made for pathing reasons to accommodate late running.

==== Česká Třebová yard staff train====
[260, 270] (ERA-E 94C2 not shown; ERA-R 192A1; ''83A'') CZ24/11
 
An unadvertised service has been observed in recent years leaving at approximately 14:00 from a short concrete platform, one track further over from the last public platform at Česká Třebová station. It turns off the main line about 200 m south of the station and follows what are shown as lines 91 or 93 in the Malkus ''Atlas Drah'' - west of the locomotive depot, where there is a stop. It continues past the roundhouse and turntable and terminates at a platform opposite what is probably the hump control tower.
This is clearly an “end of shift” service as it is lightly loaded leaving Česká Třebová but very busy on the return working. The service is not intended for public use, so access may be refused. '''The compilers would appreciate information on this or any other such services that may run at other shift change times.'''
 
This route has also been used in recent years by special shuttle services that run to the yards when there is an open day at the depot. An Open Day was held on 16 September 2023 when these shuttle services were scheduled to [https://www.ceska-trebova.cz/regionalni-den-zeleznice-2023/a-8972 run].
 
==== Česká Třebová goods lines====
[260, 270] (ERA-E 94C2 not shown; ERA-R 192A1; ''83A'') CZ24/12
 
Steam specials originating at Česká Třebová sometimes run via the goods lines, although this is not always obvious from the advance information. Prospective patrons should enquire further.
Use of the following routes has been reported:
 
*[A] (Ústí nad Orlicí -) odb. Parnik - line 100 - 180° curve - marshalling yard - Česká Třebová
*[B] Česká Třebová - line 200 - odb. Les - odb. Zádulka (- Brno)
*[C] Česká Třebová - line 200 - odb. Les - 180° curve - Třebovice v Čechách (- Olomouc)
*[D] (Olomouc -) Třebovice v Čechách - ''Vjezdová kolej od Olomouce'' - marshalling yard - Česká Třebová
 
The 2021 specials returned to Česká Třebová via the Metrans a.s. Container Terminal, off Line 200.
 
The route is also occasionally used for diversions when engineering work is taking place around the Česká Třebová station area.  There were several such advertised diversions between February and May 2023.

This line bypasses Chodov station on the south side and the following trains using it are recognisable in the timetable by the vertical wavy line marking against Chodov.


This is a 1.4km alternative route between Ostrava Vrbice and Bohumín via Bohumín Přednádraží. This line can only be used by trains arriving or departing from Bohumín platforms/track 3/3, 4/5 and 4/9, but note it is also possible to access these platforms to/from the main line. A train number search on a [https://kdypojedevlak.cz/Train?search=Bohumin Czech "Real Times Trains"] will find some services allowed additional running time [at least 3m 30s] between Bohumín-Vrbice and Bohumín so possibly could use this line if scheduled to/from the above platforms, [arrivals thought to be more likely], but this is far from guaranteed, for example a 12:43 departure from platform 4/5 on 31 May 2023 crossed to the main line.
<br/ > <br/ >
Additionally EC130 has been observed twice taking this route, with the sightings several months apart but as it is not booked to take over 3m 30s it is suspected, this and any other use is subject to train punctuality so '''the compilers would welcome further observations '''

This 5.1km branch runs to the Kozel brewery at Velké Popovice. A train runs on odd Festival dates plus Saturdays from June to September between Praha hl.n. and the brewery. The branch is very steeply graded and serves some factories but there is no rail traffic to the brewery. The train stops at a platform just before the site gate from where a brisk 10 minute walk down an earth path and road leads to the Brewery main entrance.


See the [https://www.kozel.cz/pivovar/kozel-expres Kozel website page]. Advance booking is recommended but any remaining places can be purchased at Hl n on the train.  The 2020 departure times from Praha hl.n. and the brewery are quoted on this link, the others are from 2019. The trains are expected to run in 2020-2021

The Kozel Brewery have an annual event called Slavnosti Kozla in June each year. On 11 June 2022 in addition to a Praha – Velke Popovice return rail trip, there were also 8 rail shuttle services from Strančice to Velke Popovice and back, costing 50 Czech crowns each way. Shuttles from Strančice ran hourly from 10:50 to 17:50. It was likely that the 2023 event also featured rail shuttles.  Information should be sought on the Közel website.

[171] (ERA-E 92A1-92A2; ERA-R 189B4-189B5; ''36A'') CZ24/36


===Kladno Dubi - důl Mayrau===
Freight line 521A, occasionally used as a diversionary route when the main line via Praha-Smíchov is affected by engineering works.
[ ] (ERA 189A5 (Not Shown); ''19B'') CZ21/28


Excursions over this freight line to the railway/coal mining museum at důl Mayrau are scheduled for 30 April and 05 December 2021. Operated by KDS Kladno. [https://www.event-zazitkovyvlak.cz/2020/10/23/akce-pro-verejnost-2021/  See] for details.
Because of single-line working between Praha-Smíchov and Praha-Radotín from 8 to 14 May 2023, ''S7'' services between Praha hl.n. and Beroun or Řevnice are diverted this way, outwards from Praha only until 10:00; inwards to Praha only for the rest of the day. This is in order to thin out the service. Diverted trains can be identified by their running non-stop between Praha-Radotín and Praha hl.n.


===Beroun - Čertovy schody ===
Note that even with a thinned-out service, the line is very congested and delays can be expected.
[ ] (ERA 190B1 (Not Shown); ''35'') CZ21/29


An excursion over this 7.3km freight line to Čertovy schody is scheduled for 25 September 2021. Operated by KDS Kladno. [https://www.event-zazitkovyvlak.cz/2020/10/23/akce-pro-verejnost-2021/ See] for details.
Previously, around a dozen trains per day were diverted this way between 13 December 2021 and 9 June 2022.


===Praha-Radotin - Praha Krč===
Note the substantial grade separated junction north of Praha-Velká Chuchle station.
[171] (ERA 189B4-B5; ''36'') CZ21/30
 
Beroun - Praha hlavní nádraži services (only in this direction) were diverted via freight line 521A and Praha Vršovice instead of via Praha-Smichov between 08:20 and 18:45 on 08,09,15,16,22, and 23 to 29 February, and 01 March 2020. There are no diversions in the 2020-2021 timetable.

A few Praha hlavní nádraži - Čerčany and Dobris services were diverted via Praha-Libeň and freight lines 525G and 521A between Praha-Malešice and Praha Krč, not calling at Praha Vršovice on 08,09,15,16,22, and 23 to 29 February, and 01 March 2020. There are no diversions in the 2020-2021 timetable.

===Brno freight avoiding line: Brno-Horní Heršpice – Brno dolní nádraží – odb. Táborská – Brno-Židenice===
[250/251/260] (ERA-E 95B2; ERA-R 198C2, ''79A'') CZ24/38
Previously used by engineering diversions between 09 December 2018 and 14 December 2019 while Brno hl.n was closed as a through station and in use between Saturday July 4 and August 2 2020 due to work between Hl n and Brno-Židenice. The 2019-2020 timetable contained just two trains and these continued in the 2020-2021 timetable.  No services in the 2022-2023 timetable.
===Bílovice nad Svitavou (odb. Hady) – Brno Maloměřice Yard – Brno-Židenice===
[260] (ERA-E 95B2 not shown; ERA-R 198C2 not shown; ''79A'') CZ24/39
Access to/egress from the north end of Maloměřice Yard from/to the Praha - Česká Třebová - Skalice nad Svitavou - Brno line is provided by two connections from odb. Hady, one on the north side of the main line and one on the south side. Several routes are possible through Maloměřice Yard. This route was used in the 2017-2018 Timetable period by Os4051 Blansko - 15:57 Bílovice nad Svitavou - Brno-Židenice which was allowed 8 min from Bílovice nad Svitavou  to  Brno-Židenice, as opposed to the 5 or 6 min allowed for all other trains, and was the only train to terminate at Brno-Židenice, so it seems probable that this was the booked route. However, there are no similar trains in the 2022-2023 timetable.
A connection from the Havlíčkův Brod - Tišnov - Brno line into Maloměřice Yard is available at odb. Brno-Obřany. Both routes have been used in the past (e.g. June - August 2015) when there has been an engineering blockade.
===Brno dolní nádraží – Brno-Horni Herspice obd. St. silnice===
[240/244] (ERA-E 95B2 not shown; ERA-R 198C2; ''79A'') CZ24/40
Normally a freight-only route crossing the Brno - Břeclav main line on a flyover. This was in regular passenger use between 9 January and 9 December 2023 following damage to the viaduct over the Svratka River south of Brno hl.n. which led to one of the four tracks in that area being taken out of use.
===Nučice - Lomy Mořina / Velke Amerika===
[ ] (ERA-E 92C4; ERA-R 190B1; ''35'') CZ24/41
Excursions over this 13.8km freight line to quarries at Lomy Mořina and Velke Amerika, now tourist attractions, are operated by the company formerly known as KDS Kladno. 10 dates are advertised for 2024, approximately monthly, at https://www.event-zazitkovyvlak.cz/akce-pro-verejnost/.
===Kladno Dubi - důl Mayrau===
[ ] (ERA-E 92C3; ERA-R 189A5 (not shown on either); ''19B'') CZ24/42
Occasional excursions over this freight line to the railway/coal mining museum at důl Mayrau have been operated in recent years by KDS Kladno.

Introduction

This list is based on the timetable dated from 10 December 2023 to 14 December 2024. Standard abbreviations are explained here.

Map references for each route entry are given in parentheses ( ). References prefixed "ERA-E" refer to the European Railway Atlas (All-Europe Edition) by M.G. Ball. References prefixed "ERA-R" refer to the European Railway Atlas (Regional Series: Book 3) by M.G. Ball. In addition, the map reference in the Malkus Atlas Drah České Republiky (2006/7 edition) is shown in italics.

IMPORTANT NOTE: in the Czech Railways timetable Jízdní Řád, the "crossed hammers" working days symbol means "Mondays to Fridays" not, as for most other railways, "Mondays to Saturdays".

Obscure services: Lines with regular use

Praha-Vršovice – Praha-Malešice – Praha-Běchovice

[011] (ERA-E 92A2-92C4; ERA-R 189C5; 36B) CZ24/1

One pair of trains in the 2023-2024 timetable use this mainly freight-only route.

SSuX Sp1521 06:40 Praha hl n - Kutná Hora hl. n.
SSuX Sp1528 16:51 Kutná Hora hl. n. - Praha hl n

Velký Osek – Sány (výhybna Kanín)

[020] (ERA-E 92C5; ERA-R 191A2; 23) CZ24/2

There are two single-track routes between Velký Osek and the line eastwards towards Chlumec nad Cidlinou: one (1.6 km long) direct to the north-east, and the other a 4.2 km loop line initially heading south-east and then curving round due north. The hourly Praha - Nymburk - Chlumec - Hradec Králové and v.v. expresses use the loop line to avoid reversal at Velký Osek station. The 2-hourly through trains between Kolín and Chlumec use the direct curve. Click on the thumbnail for a full size map.


Nymburk město – Veleliby

[061/060] (ERA-E 92C5; ERA-R 191A2; 22) CZ24/3

The direct line is used by trains between Křinec and Nymburk město which are not booked to call intermediately at Nymburk hl.n.

D1 SSuO Sp1532 Turnov - 18:07 Křinec - Praha hl. n.
D1 SSuO Sp1531 Praha hl. n. - 09:37 Nymburk Město - Turnov

D1: SSuO 23 March - 28 October 2024

Česká Lípa avoiding line: Vlčí Důl-Dobranov (výh. Žizníkov) – Srní u České Lípy

[080, 086] (ERA-E 92B4; ERA-R 190C4; 09) CZ24/4

This curve links the Česká Lípa - Liberec and Česká Lípa - Bakov nad Jizerou lines.

E1 SSuO TLX1298 (Dresden Hbf) - Liberec – 10:45 Zákupy-Božíkov - Doksy
E1 SSuO TLX1299 Doksy – 16:56 Staré Splavy - Liberec - (Dresden Hbf)

E1: Runs SSuO 29 June to 1 September 2024. Operated by Die Landerbahn CZ with through portion from /to Dresden Hbf.

Praha Masarykovo avoiding curve: Praha-Bubny - Praha Masarykovo nádraží-Hrabovka - Praha Masarykovo nádraží-Sluncová - Praha-Libeň - Praha hlavní nádraží

[090/120] (ERA-E 92A2; ERA-R 189B5; 36A) CZ24/5

Services using this route reverse in the Praha-Libeň station area. There has been a late night pair of trains using this route for many years but none are shown in the 2023/24 timetable, possibly a temporary consequence of work connected with the reconstruction of Praha Masarykovo nádraží.

(Lužná u Rakovníka –) Krupá – Kolešovice

[125] (ERA-E 92C3; ERA-R 190A2; 19) CZ24/5A

This line used to see regular steam excursions on summer weekends operated by the ČD Museum at Lužná, although these ceased at the start of the 2022 season due to withdrawal of subsidy from the Středočeský region. The line does however remain open and occasional excursions still operate.

The ČD Museum are advertising excursions on 16 April and 4 August 2024 – see their calendar of events at ČD Nostalgie. The Railway Touring Company are also advertising trips that include this line on 16 April and 7 October.

Most-Kopisty station avoiding line via Most nové nádraží odjezd - Most nové nádraží příjezd - Most nové n.st.7 [- Most-Minerva]

[135] (ERA-E 92B3; ERA-R 190A3; not shown on either; 07A) CZ24/6

Most-Kopisty station lies on a single track route on the north east side of a locomotive depot and two Most - Moldava v Krušných horách train pairs operated by ČD, a.s. are shown with the symbol to take an alternative route avoiding this station. If they do they use a 1.6km alternative line to the west side of the locomotive depot and in the past has been scheduled to avoid trains going in the opposite direction calling at Most-Kopisty which could be ČD or Die Länderbahn CZ s.r.o services.

In 2022 the relevant services were SSuX and two attempts on a Thursday and Friday in early June 2022 failed as the 16:42, then 06:42 (as they then were) trains although clearly indicated in the timetable to take the alternative route waited for the southbound train to clear the normal route which they then took. It should also be noted that of the 2023 examples, Os26805 and Os26806 although clearly indicated in the timetable as diverting do not clash with a service in the opposite direction and a journey on 28605 on 23 April 2023 ran via Most-Kopisty. Further reports would be appreciated by the Compilers.

D1 Os26800 06:40 Most - Moldava v Krusných horách
D1 Os26806 16:40 Most - Moldava v Krusných horách
D1 Os26805 Moldava v Krusných horách - 16:00 Litvínov město - Most
D1 Os26807 Moldava v Krusných horách - 19:00 Litvínov město - Most

D1: Runs SSuO to 28 January 2024, daily 2 February to 17 March, SSuO 23 March to 26 May, daily 1 June to 29 September, SSuO 5 October to 27 December, also 28 March, 29 to 30 October

Chodov avoiding line: Karlovy Vary-Dvory (Chodov zhlavi) – Nové Sedlo u Lokte

[140] (ERA-E 92B1-92B2; ERA-R 189B2; 16) CZ24/7

This line bypasses Chodov station on the south side and the following trains using it are recognisable in the timetable by the vertical wavy line marking against Chodov.

IC503 05:48 Karlovy Vary - Ostrava hl.n.
E1 Sp1678 10:10 Karlovy Vary – Cheb
SSuO Os20818 Karlovy Vary dolni n. - 12:11 Karlovy Vary – Zwickau [DB]
SSuO Os20828 Karlovy Vary dolni n. - 18:13 Karlovy Vary – Zwickau [DB]
E1 Sp1679 Cheb – 09:36 Sokolov – Karlovy Vary
SSuO Os20811 Zwickau [DB] - 11:27 Sokolov - Karlovy Vary dolni n.
SSuO Os20823 Zwickau [DB] - 17:27 Sokolov - Karlovy Vary dolni n.
IC504 Ostrava hl.n. - 21:54 Sokolov - Karlovy Vary

E1: SSuO 8 June to 22 September 2024

(Pardubice -) Břevnice (odbočka Kubešův Mlýn) – Havlíčkův Brod (HB St. Tunel)

[238] (ERA-E 91A1,not shown, ERA-R 196B5; 56) CZ24/8

Havlíčkův Brod is a V-shaped station: platforms 1 - 4 serve the main (Praha -) Kolin - Brno line and platform 5, at an angle, is the shorter and usual route to/from odb. Kubešův Mlýn (- Pardubice). The rare route to/from the Pardubice line (table 238) is a 400m connection between HB St. Tunel on the Pardubice - Havlíčkův Brod line and odbočka Kubešův Mlýn. Click on the thumbnail for a full size map.


It is not possible to tell from the timetable which route trains to/from the Pardubice line will use, but the usual is to/from platform 5 and drivers normally change ends after arrival at Havlíčkův Brod platform 5 so do not run via the Brno line as a "balloon loop". Only table 238 services booked to use platforms 1 - 4 are certain to run via HB St. Tunel so the compilers would greatly appreciate information of any such services using 1 - 4 as they are not shown on the Platform departure sheets.

This route was used between March and December 2021 by all trains on this line when the normal route via the northern curve was unavailable due to engineering works. Informed sources suggest none were scheduled in 2022/23.

Brno Area

There are a number of obscure routes in the area around the city. There is also a large marshalling yard north of Brno, at Maloměřice, with non-passenger connections which see occasional use.

Click on the thumbnail for a full size map.

Brno


(Brno hl.n. - ) Křenovice horní n. – Holubice

[260, 300] (ERA-E 95B2; ERA-R 197B3-B4; 75) CZ24/9

Most trains on the Brno - Přerov line use the connection between Blažovice (on the Brno - Veselí nad Moravou line) and Holubice. Some services run via the more southerly, single track route via Sokolnice-Telnice, on which there is a regular service between Brno hl.n. and Křenovice horní nádraží. Trains can be identified in Table 300 by a vertical wavy line against Blažovice. Route changes are sometimes made for pathing reasons to accommodate late running.

Note that both routes are shown in ERA-R as Line/Table 300 but stopping services on the Sokolnice route are in Table 260.

SSuX R916 Olomouc hl.n. - 07:12 Rousínov – Brno hl.n.
R902 Šumperk - 20:00 Vyškov na Moravě – Brno hl.n.
D1 FSuO R900 Šumperk - 22:00 Vyškov na Moravě – Brno hl.n.

D1: Also runs on 28 March, 30 April, 7 May, 4 July, 27 September, 16 November 2023. Does not run on 24, 25, 31 December 2023, 29 to 31 March 2024, 5 and 6 July, 28 September, 27 October

Brno-Židenice – Brno-Slatina (odbočka Slatinská)

[300, 340] (ERA-E 95B2; ERA-R 197B4; 79A) CZ24/10

Until 14 December 2019 all trains between Brno hl.n. and the Veselí nad Moravou line ran via this route, involving reversal at Brno-Židenice due to the temporary closure of the route via Brno-Černovice. In the current timetable, trains using this route are recognisable in Table 340 by timing against Brno-Židenice and a vertical wavy line against Brno-Černovice.

Česká Třebová Area

There is a large marshalling yard south of Česká Třebová station, with a number of non-passenger connections.

Click on the thumbnail for a full size map.


Česká Třebová yard staff train

[260, 270] (ERA-E 94C2 not shown; ERA-R 192A1; 83A) CZ24/11

An unadvertised service has been observed in recent years leaving at approximately 14:00 from a short concrete platform, one track further over from the last public platform at Česká Třebová station. It turns off the main line about 200 m south of the station and follows what are shown as lines 91 or 93 in the Malkus Atlas Drah - west of the locomotive depot, where there is a stop. It continues past the roundhouse and turntable and terminates at a platform opposite what is probably the hump control tower. This is clearly an “end of shift” service as it is lightly loaded leaving Česká Třebová but very busy on the return working. The service is not intended for public use, so access may be refused. The compilers would appreciate information on this or any other such services that may run at other shift change times.

This route has also been used in recent years by special shuttle services that run to the yards when there is an open day at the depot. An Open Day was held on 16 September 2023 when these shuttle services were scheduled to run.

Česká Třebová goods lines

[260, 270] (ERA-E 94C2 not shown; ERA-R 192A1; 83A) CZ24/12

Steam specials originating at Česká Třebová sometimes run via the goods lines, although this is not always obvious from the advance information. Prospective patrons should enquire further. Use of the following routes has been reported:

  • [A] (Ústí nad Orlicí -) odb. Parnik - line 100 - 180° curve - marshalling yard - Česká Třebová
  • [B] Česká Třebová - line 200 - odb. Les - odb. Zádulka (- Brno)
  • [C] Česká Třebová - line 200 - odb. Les - 180° curve - Třebovice v Čechách (- Olomouc)
  • [D] (Olomouc -) Třebovice v Čechách - Vjezdová kolej od Olomouce - marshalling yard - Česká Třebová

The 2021 specials returned to Česká Třebová via the Metrans a.s. Container Terminal, off Line 200.

The route is also occasionally used for diversions when engineering work is taking place around the Česká Třebová station area. There were several such advertised diversions between February and May 2023.

Přerov avoiding line: Rokytnice u Přerova (výhybna Dluhonice) – Prosenice

[270] (ERA-E 95A3; ERA-R 197C5; 61) CZ24/13

This west to north curve is used by all trains between Olomouc and Hranice na Moravě which are not scheduled to call at Přerov, indicated by a vertical wavy line marking against this station.

Bohumín Area

(ERA-E 94C5; ERA-R 193B2; 47B)

Click on the thumbnail for a full size map.


Bohumín avoiding line: [Ostrava– ] Bohumín-Vrbice – Chałupki (odb.Pudlov)

[001,271,272] (ERA-E 94C5; ERA-R 193B2; 46) CZ24/14

Use of this curve allows trains between Ostrava and Chałupki [- Rybnik] in Poland to avoid reversal at Bohumín.

IC111 Ostrava-Svinov - 06:04 Ostrava hl.n. - Warszawa Gdańska (Warszawa Wschodnia from 9 June)
IC110 Warszawa Wschodnia (Warszawa Gdańska 10 March to 8 June) - 21:43 Chałupki - Ostrava Svinov

Bohumín Přednádraží Goods lines

[271] (ERA-E 95A5 not shown; ERA-R 193B2 not shown; 46 as line 305A) CZ24/15

This is a 1.4km alternative route between Ostrava Vrbice and Bohumín via Bohumín Přednádraží. This line can only be used by trains arriving or departing from Bohumín platforms/track 3/3, 4/5 and 4/9, but note it is also possible to access these platforms to/from the main line. A train number search on a Czech "Real Times Trains" will find some services allowed additional running time [at least 3m 30s] between Bohumín-Vrbice and Bohumín so possibly could use this line if scheduled to/from the above platforms, [arrivals thought to be more likely], but this is far from guaranteed, for example a 12:43 departure from platform 4/5 on 31 May 2023 crossed to the main line.

Additionally EC130 has been observed twice taking this route, with the sightings several months apart but as it is not booked to take over 3m 30s it is suspected, this and any other use is subject to train punctuality so the compilers would welcome further observations

EC130 Budapest Nyugati- 14:05 Ostrava hlavní nádraží - Warszawa Wschodnia

Bludov avoiding line: Postřelmov (odbočka Sudkov) – Bludov lázně (odbočka Chromeč)

[291, 292] (ERA-E 94C3; ERA-R 192B1; 42) CZ24/16

This curve is used by trains between Zábřeh na Moravě and Hanušovice which are not scheduled to call at Bludov. These trains are recognisable in the timetable by the vertical wavy line marking against Bludov.

Strančice – Velke Popovice

(ERA-E 92C4; ERA-R 189C4; 36) CZ24/17

This 5.1km branch runs to the Kozel brewery at Velké Popovice. A train runs on odd Festival dates plus Saturdays from June to September between Praha hl.n. and the brewery. The branch is very steeply graded and serves some factories but there is no rail traffic to the brewery. The train stops at a platform just before the site gate from where a brisk 10 minute walk down an earth path and road leads to the Brewery main entrance.

See the Kozel website and the outbound normally leaves Hl.n. just after 10am. Advance booking is recommended but any remaining places can allegedly be purchased at Hl.n. on the train. As at December 2023 the regular timings for 2024 had not been announced. There were events with train connections advertised for 22 April and 13 May 2023 with a train departure time of 10:08 shown on the April e-ticket. The other times below are estimated from the 2019 times or reported by an April 2023 correspondent:

D1 SO Os11101 10:08 Praha hl n - 10:4x Strančice - 11:00 Velké Popovice
D1 & Note D2 SO Os11102 15:05 Velké Popovice - 15:25? Strančice - 15:52 Praha hl n

D1: Ran until 17 September 2022
D2: 22 April 2023 Departure advertised as 16:30

As at April 2023 a no. 461 bus departed from the nearby bus stop at 12:56, arriving in Strančice at 13:18, enabling an early escape if required.

The Kozel Brewery have an annual event called Slavnosti Kozla in June each year. On 11 June 2022 in addition to a Praha – Velke Popovice return rail trip, there were also 8 rail shuttle services from Strančice to Velke Popovice and back, costing 50 Czech crowns each way. Shuttles from Strančice ran hourly from 10:50 to 17:50. It was likely that the 2023 event also featured rail shuttles. Information should be sought on the Közel website.

Děčín-Prostřední Žleb - Děčín východ dolní nádraží – Děčín přístav Loubí

(ERA-E 92A4; ERA-R 190B4 (Quay Branch not shown on either); 8A) CZ24/18

This freight line and 3.3km freight branch has received a passenger service, operated by KŽC Doprava, s.r.o., annually in connection with the Czech Republic International Championship of Pump Trolley Racing. This event is held on the Czech-Saxon Harbour Company (Česko-saské přístavy, s.r.o.) River Labe quay sidings at Děčín-Loubí and in 2023 was on 26 August. The competition is usually limited to 10 teams competing over a 1.67km length siding traversed three times.

Čáslav – voj. letiště Chotusice

(ERA-E 92C5; ERA-R 191B1; 38) CZ24/19

A 4.7km long branch runs northwards from the Třemošnice branch platform at Čáslav to serve Chotusice air base, home of the 21. základna taktického letectva (21st Tactical Air Force Base). There is a shuttle service when there is an air show at the base to a covered platform on the base perimeter adjacent to a 3km post, 3.3km from the Třemošnice branch platforms.

A shuttle service ran to the 2023 Open Day on 20 May, with departures every 40 minutes or so. This event normally takes place every two years so the next open day can be expected in May 2025.

Postoloprty avoiding line: Březno u Postoloprt (odbočka Bažantnice) – Výškov v Čechách (odbočka Vrbka)

[114/123] (ERA-E 92B3; ERA-R 190A3; 19) CZ24/20

In September 2023, this east to north curve saw its first passenger use since 2007 with the addition of a Louny to Most service via this route calling at Louny střed and Louny město.

SSuX Sp1292 Louny - 06:40 Louny mĕsto - Most

Obscure services: Lines used on an occasional basis

Hodonín ČD - Holíč nad Moravou ŽSR

[Ex ČD 332/Ex ŽSR 115] (ERA-E 95C3; ERA-R 197C2; 88 ČD section only) CZ24/31

This electrified single track cross border line closed to passengers at the December 2004 timetable change but is used by freight services and as a diversionary passenger route, fairly regularly in recent years following major storm damage on the Czech main line. Suggested to be in use between 20-22/27-29 January, 24-26 February & 16-21 March 2024 after last use between 13th to 25th October 2023 with details on the ČD engineering work listings.

Liberec (odb. UPD) – Aquapark Babylon

[086] (ERA-E 92A5 not shown; ERA-R 191A4, not shown; 01) CZ24/32

This branch runs from the SW apex of the triangle at Liberec-Rochlice in a northerly direction, paralleling the line to Liberec station, but on the opposite (east) side of the E442 motorway to the DPML tram depot, slightly beyond Aquapark Babylon. In previous years KŽC Doprava have operated a Česká Kamenice - Liberec - Aquapark Babylon train pair (marketed as Lužický Motoráček) on Summer Saturdays. This was not shown in the timetable except as a footnote to Trains Sp1280/1281 in table 086 saying that the train continues to or comes from the siding of the Aquapark Babylon and DPM Liberec". The service was cancelled in 2020, initially due to Covid restrictions then withdrawal of financial support, but may restart in the future - refer to the KŽC Doprava website.

Rumburk – Ebersbach [DB]

[088] (ERA-E 92-A4; ERA-R 190C5, 02) CZ24/33

This cross-border line closed to regular passenger services at the end of 2010. In recent years occasional services have been operated by OSEF and LDC. Check websites for details.

Ústí nad Labem avoiding line: Ústí nad Labem Jih. – Ústí nad Labem západ

[090,130] (ERA-E 92B3; ERA-R 190B4 (not shown on either); 8A) CZ24/34

This curve connects the Praha and Most lines. The only train (SP1656 15:22 SSuX Lovosice - Ústí nad Labem západ) was withdrawn at the December 2019 timetable change and there have been no regular timetabled services since.

From June 1 to July 28 2021, due to engineering work between Ústí nad Labem hlavní nádraží and Ústí nad Labem západ, the 2-hourly "Krušnohor" trains (numbers R60?, R61?) were diverted via this curve, running non-stop between Praha and Ústí nad Labem západ.

Vojkovice nad Ohří – Kyselka

[140/142](ERA-E 92B2; ERA-R 189C2; 17) CZ24/35

This 9km branch had a summer Saturday train for several years until 2019, the "Mattoni Express", running between Karlovy Vary dolní nádraží and Kyselka with connection from Karlovy Vary. This is in connection with "the Mattoni mineral water bottling museum". In 2019 trains left Karlovy Vary at 09:30 and Kyselka at 13:00. The service has not run since 2020, possibly due to Covid restrictions.

The 2019 details were on the CD website at CD Mattoni expresem do Kyselky and may appear at a similar location in future.

Praha-Radotin - Praha Krč

[171] (ERA-E 92A1-92A2; ERA-R 189B4-189B5; 36A) CZ24/36

Freight line 521A, occasionally used as a diversionary route when the main line via Praha-Smíchov is affected by engineering works.

Because of single-line working between Praha-Smíchov and Praha-Radotín from 8 to 14 May 2023, S7 services between Praha hl.n. and Beroun or Řevnice are diverted this way, outwards from Praha only until 10:00; inwards to Praha only for the rest of the day. This is in order to thin out the service. Diverted trains can be identified by their running non-stop between Praha-Radotín and Praha hl.n.

Note that even with a thinned-out service, the line is very congested and delays can be expected.

Previously, around a dozen trains per day were diverted this way between 13 December 2021 and 9 June 2022.

Note the substantial grade separated junction north of Praha-Velká Chuchle station.

Praha-Malešice - Praha Krč

[210] (ERA-E 92A2; ERA-R 189C5-189B4; 36B) CZ24/37

A few Praha hlavní nádraži - Čerčany and Dobříš services were diverted via Praha-Libeň and freight lines 525G and 521A between Praha-Malešice and Praha Krč, not calling at Praha Vršovice in February and March 2020. There are no diversions in the 2022-2023 timetable.

Brno freight avoiding line: Brno-Horní Heršpice – Brno dolní nádraží – odb. Táborská – Brno-Židenice

[250/251/260] (ERA-E 95B2; ERA-R 198C2, 79A) CZ24/38

Previously used by engineering diversions between 09 December 2018 and 14 December 2019 while Brno hl.n was closed as a through station and in use between Saturday July 4 and August 2 2020 due to work between Hl n and Brno-Židenice. The 2019-2020 timetable contained just two trains and these continued in the 2020-2021 timetable. No services in the 2022-2023 timetable.

Bílovice nad Svitavou (odb. Hady) – Brno Maloměřice Yard – Brno-Židenice

[260] (ERA-E 95B2 not shown; ERA-R 198C2 not shown; 79A) CZ24/39

Access to/egress from the north end of Maloměřice Yard from/to the Praha - Česká Třebová - Skalice nad Svitavou - Brno line is provided by two connections from odb. Hady, one on the north side of the main line and one on the south side. Several routes are possible through Maloměřice Yard. This route was used in the 2017-2018 Timetable period by Os4051 Blansko - 15:57 Bílovice nad Svitavou - Brno-Židenice which was allowed 8 min from Bílovice nad Svitavou to Brno-Židenice, as opposed to the 5 or 6 min allowed for all other trains, and was the only train to terminate at Brno-Židenice, so it seems probable that this was the booked route. However, there are no similar trains in the 2022-2023 timetable. A connection from the Havlíčkův Brod - Tišnov - Brno line into Maloměřice Yard is available at odb. Brno-Obřany. Both routes have been used in the past (e.g. June - August 2015) when there has been an engineering blockade.

Brno dolní nádraží – Brno-Horni Herspice obd. St. silnice

[240/244] (ERA-E 95B2 not shown; ERA-R 198C2; 79A) CZ24/40

Normally a freight-only route crossing the Brno - Břeclav main line on a flyover. This was in regular passenger use between 9 January and 9 December 2023 following damage to the viaduct over the Svratka River south of Brno hl.n. which led to one of the four tracks in that area being taken out of use.

Nučice - Lomy Mořina / Velke Amerika

[ ] (ERA-E 92C4; ERA-R 190B1; 35) CZ24/41

[ ] (ERA-E 92C3; ERA-R 189A5 (not shown on either); 19B) CZ24/42

Occasional excursions over this freight line to the railway/coal mining museum at důl Mayrau have been operated in recent years by KDS Kladno. None are currently advertised for 2024, check the Kladno website for any changes to their programme.

Beroun - Čertovy schody

[ ] (ERA-E 92C3; ERA-R 190B1 (not shown on either); 35) CZ24/43
