The first day of my September 2010 Czech trip. After flying from Heathrow to Praha, I drove to the Sumperk - Jesenik line, arriving in the early afternoon. In common with many Czech diesel lines the Jesenik line has lost a significant number of loco hauled passenger services this year but the weekends are still fairly good. The other big change over the past year has been the arrival of class 754s at Olomouc, displacing many of the class 749s that previously dominated workings in the area. I was pleased to find two of the most photogenic 749s still at work but both the 754s in use were disappointingly carrying the drab grey/green livery. The old railcars of classes 831 and 851 are still around and it was a pleasant surprise to see an 851 and trailer covering one of the Jesenik - Zabreh semi-fast turns I’d assumed would have been an 843. The Saturday afternoon freights ran as expected with class 751s. If it hadn’t been dull and wet it would have been a good afternoon.
