Vlašim

Total nice station and no trains without delay

The nicely renovated train station is located south of the old town, a 10-minute walk from the castle. It is located on the single-track regional railway line Benešov u Prahy - Trhový Štěpánov with connections to lines 220 (Prague / Benešov u Prahy - České Budějovice) and 221 (general transport Prague - Benešov u Prahy). The line is marked with the number 222 in the timetable for passengers. The section from Benešov to Vlašim was put into operation in 1895. Regular passenger transport is operated by Czech Railways and exclusively by motor cars. Due to poor use by passengers, most stops are only by sign or request and a specific way of passenger handling is introduced on the line (unmanned train). The set consists of only one car, which sometimes significantly complicates and makes traffic uncomfortable. On Sunday afternoon, a group of about 30 children left Vlašim for Benešov, there was no movement in the car. One local complained that this happens regularly every weekend. The passenger areas at the Vlašim station are open daily from 04:00 until 23:30. In the immediate vicinity there is a stop for intercity buses (from the east and west), which offers an alternative transport option if you do not want to squeeze in the train. One connection to Prague left about 15 minutes after the train's departure time.

They are clean and there are no rollers. But the pluses are over. One small bench on the peron, at least a few tables are missing in the waiting room. For refreshments on Sundays only a vending machine. There is a pub in front of the railway station, but according to the interior it is so one, not to eat there. Wi-fi? Forget it. And when a motorbike arrives in Prague on Sunday afternoon, then goes to the finish, crowded with a roof, goodbye CD. In the comparable Lysá it was much better and it is not a district town.
