They are the only electric trains equipped with tilting technology in the České dráhy fleet. Czech Pendolino trains are used for their ‘premium’ express train service called SuperCity, similar to the Express Intercity Premium in Poland. To verify whether the tilting system would be suitable for the Czech Republic, a number of tests were carried out, first with an Italian ETR 401 prototype and then with an ETR 470 prototype.<br /> After a few years, České dráhy launched a tender, which was won by the Czech company ČKD, which was supposed to produce 10 tilting trains. The company went bankrupt shortly after winning the contract, and the production was taken over by Fiat Ferroviaria, which, due to the high costs for the Czech railways, had to produce only seven trains. So in 2003, the first unit entered service. Over the years, it became clear that the tilting trains were a constant loss for České dráhy and were not profitable. The main reason was that the routes they travelled were already existing and very short. Over the following years, the Czech railways tried to extend the connections across the border, reaching Vienna and Bratislava until 2012. There were also plans for a Vienna-Berlin train via Prague, which never entered service.<br /> Today, the Pendolino trains of Czech Railways (České dráhy) mainly serve the Ostrava-Prague route, as shown in the photo, where the train 680 number 005 takes the curve facing the Zábřeh lake, offering a postcard-like image thanks to the reflection on the water and the colours of the sunset. From September 2025, the Pendolino trains will also run between Prague and České Budějovice, and from December, trains should resume between Prague and Žilina/Košice, which were suspended in order to equip the trains with ETCS.<br /> <br /> Information ℹ️:<br /> Date 📅: 14.08.2025, 18:33<br /> Place 📍: Zábřeh, Czech Republic<br /> Train 🚄: 680 005<br /> Train Company 🏢: České dráhy<br /> Line 🔢: SC 500<br /> Start 🚩: Ostrava hl.n.<br /> Destination 🏁: Praha hl.n<br /> <br /> <br /> ©️The photo was taken and edited by Nathan Urriani.
