Czech railway operator LEO Express has unveiled its new modern train unit built by Stadler Rail.

The train will start carrying passengers between Prague and Ostrava later this year.

At the Velim test circuit, guests had a unique opportunity to have a look inside the train.

After successful test runs on the circuit, the 90m long LEO Express train – the most modern one in the Czech Republic – will be in service in December.

In the next few weeks, the first of five LEO Express trains will ‘pass the necessary tests at the Velim test circuit’.

The rail operator said the route Prague-Pardubice-Olomouc-Ostrava-Bohumin is ‘just the first step’ in the wider roll-out of new trains for the country.
