AWT discontinued providing public passenger railway transport to Vrbno pod Pradědem

3.3.2010

After twelve years, the company Advanced World Transport a. s. (former OKD, Doprava, a. s.) discontinued providing public passenger railway transport on railway 313 Milotice nad Opavou – Vrbno pod Pradědem. The company Viamont a.s., which specializes in the passenger railway transport segment in the long term, has become a new provider of this service. AWT will remain the rail system operator on this railway.

AWT provided for local public passenger railway transport since 1998 when it repaired the railway 313 at its own expense after devastating floods in the summer of 1997. The regional railway was completely ruined then and there was a danger that it would not be recovered. This danger was averted only when the railway was rented to AWT, which put the railway back in order by its own means to be able to operate it.

Most of the employees securing operations of the passenger railway transport were also transferred to the company Viamont a.s., the remaining employees were offered different job positions within AWT.
