Historic building in fast train station will get modern premises within a year

The more than 150-year-old station building in the Central Bohemian town of Čáslav is awaiting a complete reconstruction. Správa železnic has selected the contractor for the work, which is the company STRABAG Rail. It submitted the lowest bid of CZK 39,974,721. The historic building with typical elements of railway architecture will get modern check-in areas, to which public toilets will also be moved. Passengers will appreciate the barrier-free access as well as the bike boxes and covered bike stands. The work will last until next spring.

The station building in Čáslav is located near the town centre. It is widely used not only by passengers from fast trains and regional trains on the line from Prague to Havlíčkův Brod, but also from the local line to Žleby and Třemošnice. It dates back to 1867 and has preserved the typical style of railway architecture to this day.

The façade and the roof of the building will be renovated. A modern check-in hall with a ticket office and new public toilets will be built on the ground floor. The entire building will also be renovated to include commercial space, a traffic office, dormitories and technology rooms. 

The adjacent areas will also be modified. The wooden shelter on the street side of the building will be removed and the entrance will be newly barrier-free. Bike boxes and covered stands for a total of 12 bikes will be installed. A facility for sorted waste will be connected to these areas as well.

The station itself is also preparing for a complete reconstruction of the track facility including new platforms and an underpass. This work should start in three years.
