Changes from 1 June 2022

From 1 June 2022 to 26 August 2022, this closure will be extended to include the closure of both line tracks Březová nad Svitavou - Svitavy and the power supply closure in the section Blansko - Svitavy. This will have a major impact on traffic in the whole section Brno - Blansko - Svitavy.

Trains of line S2 run in the section Blansko - Letovice by motor trains, due to the impossibility of supplying this section with electricity. In the morning and afternoon rush hours on weekdays, these trains in the section Blansko - Skalice nad Svitavou - (Letovice) are supplemented by alternative transport (NAD) trains, which will be run as a continuation of the line xS2B Brno - Blansko.

Trains of line R19 are replaced in the section Brno - Svitavy by buses of alternative transport (NAD) running as line xR19 according to the lockout timetable.

Trains of line S21 are replaced in the section Skalice nad Svitavou - Boskovice - (Velké Opatovice) by NAD buses running as line xS21 according to the closure timetable.

Trains of line S22 are replaced in the section Letovice - Březová nad Svitavou NAD buses running as line xS22 according to the lockout timetable. In connection with the closure, the timetables of the connecting bus lines of IDS JMK will be adjusted to trains or buses of alternative transport, especially at the junctions Skalice nad Svitavou and Letovice, consisting in minute shifts of selected connections of the given lines.

In addition, from 1 to 7 June 2022, there will be a closure in the section Blansko - Rájec-Jestřebí. This closure will probably also be repeated in August (1 week)

Fast trains R19 and express trains S2 (Svitavy) - Březová nad Svitavou - Brno

  • Straight line xR19A Svitavy - Březová nad Svitavou - Letovice - Brno and back at the times of fast trains and express trains in Svitavy. Bicycle transport will be provided by van on all daily connections.
  • Straight line xR19B Svitavy - Březová nad Svitavou - Letovice - Skalice nad Svitavou - Boskovice - Blansko and back again at the times of fast trains and express trains in Svitavy. Transportation of bicycles will be provided by van on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays on daily connections.
  • Straight line xR19S Skalice nad Svitavou - Brno and back at the times of the replaced trains in Skalice nad Svitavou so as to ensure connection links in Skalice nad Svitavou between the replacement transport line and connecting lines of IDS JMK.

All replacement buses will be marked with xR19 and the destination station or direction of travel.

Line S2 Brno - Blansko - Letovice

  • In the section Brno - Blansko, replacement bus transport will continue to be provided by line xS2B ve stávajícím rozsahu a v úseku Brno-Královo Pole – Blansko linkou xS2K a 233 with a partial restriction of connections to and from fast trains in Blansko.
  • In the section Blansko - Skalice nad Svitavou - Letovice, train transport in motor traction will be provided in connection with the replacement transport Brno - Blansko at an all-day interval of 60 minutes.
  • In the morning and afternoon rush hours on weekdays, in the section Blansko - Skalice nad Svitavou selected connections of the alternative transport line xS2B Brno - Blansko will be extended via Rájec-Jestřebí to Skalice nad Svitavou so as to half the 60-minute interval of passenger trains in the above mentioned section to 30 minutes and to ensure connection links in Skalice nad Svitavou to IDS JMK lines twice an hour, once from the train and the second time from the NAD bus. The same applies in the opposite direction Skalice nad Svitavou - Blansko - (Brno).

Line S21 Skalice nad Svitavou - Boskovice - (Velké Opatovice)

  • In order to ensure that connections between lines S2 and S21 in Skalice nad Svitavou are maintained during the period of engine operation on line S2, when trains from Blansko will arrive later in Skalice nad Svitavou and depart earlier in the direction of Blansko, trains on line S21 will be replaced by replacement buses xS21 at 60-minute intervals, the train could not provide these tight connections in both directions.
  • The scope of transport between Boskovice and Velke Opatovice will be maintained according to the currently valid timetable, only with a certain modification of the time positions of the replacement buses.

Line S22 Svitavy - Březová nad Svitavou - Letovice

Passenger trains in the above section will always be replaced by a pair of alternative services xS22 so that one connection is always linked to the train connections in Svitavy and the other connection is linked to the train connections in Letovice.

Changes on bus lines replacing trains between Brno, Bílovice nad Svitavou and Adamov from 1.6.2022

In the summer months of June, July and August the timetables of lines xS2A and xS2D and some other lines will be modified due to lower passenger frequency .

Timetables from 1 June 2022


Line xS2D Brno, main railway station - Adamov

To ensure comfortable transport between Adamov and Brno, the line xS2D has been established, which runs from the stop Adamov, žel. st. and stops at the stop Adamov, žel. zast. It then runs non-stop via Křtiny and Ochoz u Brna to the stop Brno, Dělnický dům with the possibility of changing direction Slatina and terminates at the Main Railway Station (at the Křenová viaduct) .

Line xS2D runs on working days during peak hours, morning, evening and weekends. Arrival to Brno before 5 o'clock and departure from Brno after 11 p.m. is maintained.

On line xS2D a ticket for 3 zones / 90 minutes for CZK 27 will be sufficient to travel from Adamov to Brno zone 100. To get to Brno zone 101 you will need a ticket for 4 zones / 90 minutes for CZK 34. The same tickets as before. Existing subscription tickets remain valid. Although the route of line xS2D is longer than that of line x S2A with a transfer to tram line 4, the travel time for passengers from Adamov to the centre of Brno to the main railway station is comparable to the current situation.

Reduction of traffic on the existing xS2A line

Most connections of the existing line xS2A are shortened to Bílovice nad Svitavou and stop at all stops after Bílovice.
