Benešov u Prahy

Clear, you can wait warm and buy snacks. There is a very nicely painted underpass. This is the only way to the next platforms. There are also elevators if you don't want to step up and down about 20 steps. I missed the toilet, but maybe it's just hidden somewhere ...

Benesov is a nice town near Konopiste Castle. There are several interesting places to visit with interesting history.

Nice and fairly well equipped railway station was reconstructed between 2007-2011. It is equipped with a mobile lifting platform for loading and unloading passengers in and out of the truck. Access to the station building is wheelchair accessible, including a marked ticket counter, as well as to all platforms. In addition, the station is equipped for the visually impaired (guide lines). The station is situated on lines 220 (Benesov u Prahy - Ceske Budejovice) and 222 (Benesov u Prahy - Trhovy Stepanov - Dolni Kralovice). It was put into operation in December 1871. In 1895, regular rail transport was connected between Benešov and Vlašim. In 1896-1897 a second building in the same architectural style was attached to its north side. Both buildings are connected by the Imperial Lounge - a luxurious waiting room for personal use of the Austro-Hungarian successor to the throne of Franz Ferdinand d'Este. The station underwent its first extensive reconstruction in the 1970s, when it was electrified. In 1997 the station building was declared a National Cultural Monument.

Unfortunately, I visit this station on a regular basis and unfortunately I also meet regularly non-functional elevators ... which always annoy me a lot ... because always, I have luggage with me, which one really doesn't want to pull up the stairs ... I can't imagine how it must be, unpleasant for mothers with a pram, or a man about sticks. ..etc. not to mention a man in a wheelchair ... he probably doesn't get a chance to get anywhere by train from such a situation in Benešov. If the elevators work, they are always dirty and smell ... which doesn't add much to the first positive impression. the station is undergoing some modifications, so the elevators are not working and the stairs are narrowed by scaffolding. The work takes place right next to you, when you climb, up the stairs to the platform. You do not know if you have to pull one would assume that such adjustments will take place either not at such busy times, or, at least the elevator will work ... Anyway, before the holidays it will be very uncomfortable for a lot of passengers experience ... people will meet in a confined space, on the stairs while walking in both directions, each with their own luggage, or. stroller. Otherwise, the staff at the box office should also work on their professional level ... because it is also a long way to a pleasant deal ... I think it is possible to work on everything, so hopefully everything will be as it should be soon.
