The Chrudim – Chrudim město railway is a regional railway connection in the Czech Republic that was originally built and operated by the Chrudim – Holitz local railway as a state-guaranteed local railway . The short connecting line connects the Heřmanův Městec – Borohrádek line with the Havlíčkův Brod – Pardubice line .
According to a decree of the Czech government, the line has been classified as a regional railway ("regionální dráha") since December 20, 1995.
history
The concession for the " local railway from Heřman-Městec to Borohradek with a branch from Hrochow Teinitz to Chrast " was granted on May 26, 1897. The concessionaires were obliged to start construction of the lines immediately and to finish them within two years. The duration of the concession was set at 90 years. The Chrudim – Chrudim Stadt line was opened for goods traffic only on September 26, 1899, together with the main Heřmanměstec – Borohrádek line. The operation was carried out by the kk Staatsbahnen (kkStB) on behalf of the owners.
After the collapse of Austria-Hungary in October 1918, management was transferred to the newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD). On January 1, 1925, the Chrudim – Holitz local railway was nationalized. From then on, the infrastructure was also part of the ČSD network.
The commissioning of modern motor trains by the ČSD enabled the introduction of tourist traffic at the end of the 1920s. The winter timetable from 1928/29 lists four pairs of motorized passenger trains, some of which were connected to and from Heřmanův Městec . A train ran via Moravany to Pardubice .
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). Due to the war, there was now a reduction in train journeys. In the 1944 timetable there were two pairs of passenger trains, only one of which operated as a motor train. 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 2013 annual timetable, the route will be served by passenger trains on the Chrudim – Moravany route every two hours on weekdays . Only individual trains run on the weekends.
