Snow problems continue for Prague commuter trains

Transportation problems continue on the outskirts of Prague for thousands of railway commuters, days after a heavy snowstorm blanketed low-lying regions of the Czech Republic. A number of connections, primarily on two of the main commuter lines between Prague and the towns of Kolín and Beroun, have been cancelled while others are seriously delayed or have limited capacities. Ropid, the company responsible for public transit planning in and around Prague, says that while other modes of municipal transportation are now running satisfactorily, the railway system is still suffering from a number of snow-bound switches and inoperable vehicles.
