Marianske Lazne, Picture 2 Edited Version |
| Description: |
Heres a much better view of Nadrazi Marianske Lazne, with its 19th-Century Austrian architecture. The station may have always been bigger than it needed to be, and today its absolutely immense, not that thats a bad thing for the future, when oil prices will skyrocket. |

Nadrazi Marianske Lazne, Edited Version |
| Description: |
My next trip was a natural follow-up to my Karlovy Vary trip. Both Karlovy Vary, or Carlsbad, and Marianske Lazne, or Marienbad, became popular tourist destinations in the 19th Century due to their mineral water springs, which were thought to have curative effects. If youre just interested in a city trip to see interesting buildings, Marianske Lazne may be the more interesting of the two cities, as its hotels and restaurants, most of which are of late 19th-and-early-20th-Century vintage represent some of the most attractive buildings of that period. This is the train station, of course, but here we only see the canopy (admittedly steam-era), and the train that I came on. |

Trutnov Hlavni Nadrazi |
| Description: |
This is Trutnov Hlavni Nadrazi in Trutnov, where I had gone in an attempt to attend the Trutnov Open Air Music Festival. The Trutnov festival is an annual mainstream rock festival with hippie roots that was one of the first to start up after the Velvet Revolution. I ended up skipping it in the end in spite of having bought the train ticket, as it was overcrowded, secured like a prison (meaning that if there wasnt any place to camp, I would be stuck there with no place to sleep), and the security looked intrusive and hostile. By managing it like Woodstock 99, they lost the large ticket price that I could have paid them, and I ended up spending the day photographing the city of Trutnov. Trutnov isnt a bad place to sightsee, after all, as it dates to the 12th Century, and features many preserved buildings from the Baroque period and earlier. |

Nadrazi Hostivice |
| Description: |
Hostivice is a suburb of Prague, and is one of the stations on the way to Kladno, where there is a small airport. The line is unelectrified, so most of the services are either Class 854 DMUs, like the one I rode, or Class 810 railbuses, seen here. |

CD 371004-3 and 371015-9 in Praha Hlavni Nadrazi |
| Description: |
This was after our arrival on the CityNightLine service in Praha Hlavni Nadrazi. Our sleeper was a first class one, operated by JLV, making it actually the only Czech sleeper on the train, as the rest were DB (and possibly SBB, I dont remember). The train was heavy enough to be double headed, although as usual it ran under 160Km/h (99 m.p.h.) on Ceske Drahy. The trailing unit was #371015-9. I noted that both units were named. #371004-3 was named "Otik," and #371015-9 had a common Czech womans name, although Ive forgotten it. Does anybody know it? |

Masarykovo Nadrazi |
| Description: |
One of the many Prague buildings undergoing restoration recently has been Masarykovo Nadrazi. This is the oldest surviving railway station in the city, built in 1845 (the original Dejvice would rival it, having been built even earlier for a horsedrawn tramway). I took this cameraphone shot right after they pulled the scaffolding off of the restored, repainted trainshed, which extends forward to the street. |

Regiojet Train in Praha-Smichov |
| Description: |
In 2011, some intercity services were outsourced to Regiojet, a TOC owned and operated by the Student Agency, who had for a number of years run a bus service from Brno to London via Prague. Im waiting to see what I really think of this, but I find it irritating that, supposedly, they dont take regular CD tickets, thus tying up train paths while offering a service (with their tickets) only a few times a day. Its the worst of both worlds in that regard. One of my colleagues praised this arrangement for encouraging competition, but this is a bit like praising competition between your doctor and your dentist in the same office, not in that their roles are the same, but in that if you see one you cant see the other, and if you need one you dont need the other. Competition in that case only makes it more difficult to get an appointment. Actually, the train is worse because you need it far more often. |
