Eurosprinter locos to operate Prague-Vienna Railjet trains

摘要

Czech Railways (Ceske drahy/CD) has announced that EuroCity trains between Prague and Vienna will be operated using Siemens-built Railjet push-pull 230km/h trains from December 2014. The trains will be operated jointly by CD and Austrian Railways (OBB) every two hours, starting in the south-eastern Austrian city of Graz via Vienna and onto the Czech city of Brno to Prague. Initially, OBB will provide the trains, although later on CD will introduce seven Railjet sets, with these being used for most services once they are in service.
