Rail company Arriva, a subsidiary of the German giant Deutsche Bahn, wants to operate a route between Prague and Trenčin when the timetables change again in December. The new route will be operated by diesel trains at weekends and is aimed at students. The journey from Prague to Trenčin should last less than five hours, which is less than most buses take between the cities.
