Flooding halts train services between Olomouc and Ostrava in east of Czechia

Flooding has disrupted train traffic on the main rail corridor between Olomouc and Ostrava, with operations suspended between Studénka and Jistebník due to anticipated flooding and severe weather. Trains from Prague are terminating in Olomouc, and trains from Poland in Bohumín, according to Czech Railways spokesperson Filip Medelský. Czech Railways is attempting to arrange replacement bus services but urges passengers to postpone their travel if possible. Additional train disruptions have occurred on about 20 routes, including between Bohumín and Dětmarovice. Railway firefighters have responded to numerous incidents, including removing fallen trees and evacuating passengers.
