Esko v Moravskoslezském kraji

S2 train at Ostrava-Svinov (2009)

Esko v Moravskoslezském kraji (also Esko Moravskoslezské , German literally: Esko in the Moravian-Silesian region ) is a system of urban and regional rail passenger transport in Moravskoslezský kraj in the Czech Republic . Conceptually, it corresponds to the S-Bahn systems widespread in German-speaking countries .

history

The Esko network was opened with the timetable change on December 14, 2008 with five lines. Two more lines with the code letter "R" (for Rychlik - express train) complete this. On March 7, 2010, line S6 from Ostrava hl.n. opened to Frenštátu pod Radhoštěm.

The operator České dráhy originally wanted to introduce a line marking analogous to the lines in Ústecký kraj (there: code letter "U"). Because of the danger of confusing the “M” with the lines of the Prague Metro , the “S” already used in Prague was introduced.
