Overview

Its construction started in 1947 and the line became operational on 1 January 1955. Its gauge is 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) metre gauge, while most of other tramway lines built in Czechoslovakia at this time had 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) standard gauge. The line is single track with some places upgraded to double track. Over the time the line was also upgraded for higher safety.

Future plans intend to replace this line with Tram-train.[1]

The other similar intercity tramway lines in the Czech Republic are Most-Litvínov, Ostrava-Kyjovice and Brno-Modřice.

gollark: This would be bad for technology, slow and/or wildly unethical, and not very helpful except under negative utilitarianism.
gollark: Subsistence farming is actually boring and unpleasant though. It is good that we stopped doing it. Although "monke" would be hunter-gathering, strictly. Which is no longer possible at scale due to loss of habitats and population growth.
gollark: That would be silly. I just do things at the correct time.
gollark: Because of rampant nonconsecutive version numbers in phones, 2060 through 2078 actually happen after 2093.
