Around 40 railway lines closed in Czechia

Around 40 railway lines in Czechia have been closed due to severe weather, with many of the closures in the Jesenicko region. The main issue is in Studénka, where flooding has halted the major Prague-Ostrava rail corridor, according to Martin Kavka, spokesperson for Railway Administration firefighters. Some lines have been closed as a precaution, while others are affected by flooding or fallen trees. Workers in Jesenicko are inspecting the closed lines to restore service. Kavka advised against unnecessary travel as disruptions continue.
