But did you know that Czech HSR (High-Speed Rail) plans have been in the making since the 1970s? In this in-depth video, Railways Explained uncovers the long journey toward building a fast and modern rail network across the Czech Republic. From the early conceptual studies to the revolutionary "Fast Connections" (Rychlá spojení) approach, we explore how Czech planners are redefining high-speed rail to fit the country’s unique geography and transportation needs. With speeds ranging between 200 and 320 km/h, the new system will combine both newly built high-speed lines and upgraded conventional routes. We break down all five major high-speed corridors—RS 1 to RS 5—including Prague–Brno–Ostrava, Brno–Břeclav, Prague–Dresden, and the planned connections to Wrocław and Munich. Discover the technical specifications, station infrastructure, rolling stock plans, and construction timelines of each segment such as VRT Vysočina, VRT Haná, VRT Moravská brána, and more. We also discuss project delays, financing through PPP and EU support, and the potential economic and environmental impact of this €16 billion+ mega-project. If you're passionate about rail infrastructure, urban mobility, or simply curious about the future of transportation in Central Europe, this video is for you.
