posted on 19th Apr 2026 19:13
Leo Express is to start operating the Praha - Ostrava - Žilina - Prešov services and the new Praha - Pardubice - Olomouc - Otrokovice - Staré Město u Uherského Hradiště - Bratislava services from 30 April 2026.
Therefore, training runs for LE drivers on the Vectron on the Bohumín - Přerov - Břeclav route are carried out between 18 and 22 April. The locomotive used is 7193 226, which is leased from RAILPOOL and is fitted with the operator's vinyls. Three Talgo sets with Vectrons are planned for the aforementioned Czech-Slovak services, but for now, the Type IC1 cars from Deutsche Bahn are being used for these runs. In Ostrava, there are about 10 more ex-DB cars waiting in the station.
