CZECHIA: State operator České dráhy will object to the transport ministry’s award of the Prague–Hradec Králové–Trutnov express trains to RegioJet on 15 September, arguing that the winning price is abnormally low. RegioJet bid CZK 70.40 per train-km, 28% of what the state pays České dráhy on the line today.
