Czech Railways launch student competition for passenger shelters

Czech Railways have launched a student design competition for a new type of wooden shelters for passengers located in protected landscape areas. The shelters should not stand out or disrupt the natural character of the area. The winning designs will be constructed.

Students of the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology of Czech University have put forward numerous designs. The competition entries can be viewed by the public until the end of April at the Railway Administration's information centre at Prague's main railway station.
