We would like to inform you about the consequences of the extraordinary event, the head-on collision of trains, which occurred on 05/06/2024 at night on the main railway corridor in Pardubice.
The investigation of the accident and the repair of the railway infrastructure will require suspension of operations for several days. Detour routes outside Pardubice are not available at the moment. According to information from the Railway Administration, they are working on an alternative operational solution.
