"We have started selling tickets for a popular direct train connection between Prague and Poland that will set off again on the 30th of November. People can enjoy the Christmas markets and from mid-year they can go to Krakow and other cities and back every day. Without restrictions on the Polish tracks and extending the driving time, we would operate every day already now," says Emil Sedlařík, Leo Express spokesperson.
Leo Express launched the connection with Polish Krakow already in 2014 by feeder buses to train connections from Bohumín. Leo Express set off on Polish tracks as the first Czech company and the only private railway passenger carrier on the 20thof July 2018. Due to the extensive repairs on the Polish tracks and the extension of the driving time train operations had to temporarily interrupt the connection from the 9th of October to the 30th of November 2018. In this the time the train is replaced by more bus connections. The temporary interruption and replacement by bus will also occur for the same reason from the 7th of January to the 22th of March 2019. In the spring, the weekend operation of the train will be renewed.
Leo Express train will go to Polish Krakow daily from the 20th of July 2019. „The important infrastructure repairs will be done in summer and our trains will have an appropriate transport route secured. We will be able to offer a regular daily connection to our passengers,“ explains Emil Sedlařík.
Leo Express offers a high travel comfort to Poland that customers already enjoy on the bus route to Krakow, also operated by the company, or on the connection from Warsaw to Vienna and the minibus connection to Katowice Airport. On board passengers can enjoy Wi-Fi connection, refreshments and helpful on-board staff or online purchase of tickets that you do not need to print. Ticket between Prague and Krakow can be bought already from 109 Czech crowns.
