Czech Railways hoping to sell 100,000 tickets through Lidl supermarkets

Czech Railways hopes to sell at least 100,000 tickets through the Lidl chain of supermarkets this year, a representative of the former told reporters on Wednesday. The system was first introduced last year, with sales during trials in October and in the Christmas period amounting to 28,000. Prague and Brno branches of Lidl are selling train tickets between the two cities at a reduced price. Czech Railways says they are planning to also sell cheaper tickets on other routes through the Lidl chain.
