The Tábor – Písek railway is a regional railway connection in the Czech Republic that was originally built and operated by the Austrian state as part of the Bohemian-Moravian Transversal Railway. It runs from Tábor to Písek .
history
The line was opened on November 21, 1889.
In 1912 the timetable indicated four 2nd and 3rd class passenger trains a day , most of which were connected to and from Ražic. They needed about two hours for the 60-kilometer route.
After the First World War lost for Austria-Hungary , the line came to the newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD).
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). On February 17, 2012, the route to the branch line ("regionální dráha") was downgraded.
In the 2012 timetable, the route is operated every two hours by passenger trains that are connected to and from Ražice. Other trains condense this timetable on weekdays, sometimes at hourly intervals. On Sundays an express train runs between Horní Cerekev and Protivín .
