Turnover exceeded one billion CZK, consolidated profit will be in the tens of millions and number of passengers increased by more than half a million. Leo Express is doing well, and the popularity of our comfortable train services is growing. This year we will focus on train and feeder bus services. We plan to transport over 3 million people and increase the turnover to 1.3 billion Czech crowns (€51.5m). Among other things, this will be aided by our new Sirius train units, that we plan to put into operation this year
In addition to the deployment of the new Sirius units, which are currently being tested at the Velim railway test circuit, Leo Express keeps investing into FlLIRT trains. Train sections C are currently being rebuilt and new Economy Plus class will be offered to passengers. The new class will feature more comfort, more space and seats that passengers already know from the Business class. Passengers will also be able to enjoy a wider range of refreshments. Business and Premium classes will also undergo minor modifications.
Our goal is to offer even more comfortable travel. Therefore, at the request of our passengers, we add another class to FLIRT trains, which will feature more space. For Sirius trains, which are entirely based on the needs of our customers, passengers can look forward to a whole new level of travel and on-board services
Last year, Leo Express successfully launched PSO services in the Pardubice Region and Lower Silesian Voivodeship and plans to expand on other PSO and open-access lines.
