Path allocator

Our company is an independent capacity allocator within the meaning of Act No. 266/1994 Coll., on railways, as amended, i.e. it independently takes care of the performance of the main activities for the railway operator, who also operates rail transport on the railway, which does not serve exclusively to ensure the operation of the railway. The main activities are activities related to the negotiation and calculation of the price and collection of payment for the use of the railway, the allocation of railway capacity and, in the case of a national or regional railway, preparation of the network statement. Allocation of track capacity shall mean the action enabling the use of that part of the total track capacity which is required for the requested train path. Track capacity means the usable capacity of a railway to enable the required train paths to be scheduled on a particular section of the railway during a particular period.

As of 12 December 2021, we are allocating capacity on the regional railway operated by KŽC Doprava, s.r.o., Šenovka branch. On the so-called glassworks branch line from Česká Kamenice to Kamenický Šenov there is a regular operation of weekend historical trains in the summer season and trains on order.

As of 10 December 2023, we have been the independent allocation body on the national railway operated by České dráhy, a. s. This railway consists of the part of the national railway within the inner yard of the Děčín hl. n. station; the former sections in Bohumín (as of 1 April 2024) and in Prague (as of 1 November 2024) were converted into sidings with public use.

As of 8 August 2024, we became the path allocation body on the regional railway operated by Gepard Infra, s.r.o., which includes the narrow gauge regional railway Jindřichův Hradec – Nová Bystřice and Jindřichův Hradec – Obrataň.
