The Bzenec – Moravský Písek railway is a railway connection in the Czech Republic that was originally built and operated as part of the Bisenz – Gaya local railway .

history

The Bisenz – Gaya local railway was built by the Graz civil engineer Oscar Baron Lazarini and put into operation on July 20, 1884. On July 1, 1884, before the opening, it was bought by the Austrian-Hungarian state railway company (StEG) and incorporated into the newly built Wlarabahn from Brno to the Wlarapass until 1887.

The remaining, independent section of the Bisenz – Gaya local line between Bisenz (now Bisenz-Pisek) and Bisenz Stadt was now operated by the StEG as a short connecting line to the northern line. After the nationalization of the StEG on October 15, 1909, the Bisenz-Pisek-Bisenz Stadt line belonged to the network of the kk Staatsbahnen (kkStB). In the 1912 timetable there were eight mixed pairs of 2nd and 3rd class trains, each of which took eleven minutes in both directions.

On May 13, 1938, in connection with the double-track expansion of the Wlarabahn, a separate track for the Bzenec – Moravský Písek line between Bzenec and rail kilometer 80,229 was put into operation and the branch there closed. The route began in Bzenec ever since.

During the Second World War , the route lay entirely in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia . The operators were now the Protectorate Railways Bohemia and Moravia (ČMD-BMB). On May 9, 1945, the entire line came back to the ČSD.

On January 1, 1993, the line was transferred to the newly founded České dráhy (ČD) in the course of the dissolution of Czechoslovakia . Since 2003 it has been part of the network of the state infrastructure operator Správa železniční dopravní cesty (SŽDC).

In the 2019 timetable, the route is served by passenger trains every half hour . 25 pairs of passenger trains run daily on weekdays and 22 on weekends.

By 2025, the Bzenec – Moravský Písek line, together with the Brno – Veselí nad Moravou section of the Wlara line, is to be modernized and electrified.
