(ANSA) - PRAGUE - The Czech government has approved a plan to
build a rail network for high-speed trains.
According to local media, Transport Minister Dan Tok said that the network will be designed for trains travelling at a speed of over 300 kph (185 mph) like in some other European countries, such as France. It should cost around 650 billion koruna ($27.6 billion).
The network would link the country with similar networks in neighboring countries, especially Germany. The first railway is scheduled to connect the Czech and German capitals, Prague and Berlin. But it wasn't immediately clear when construction might begin. (ANSA).
