But the story doesn't end. This weekend happened the global timetable changes and also this line changed. Although the line still belongs to local municipalities and until now it was serviced by Arriva, the money for operating the local public transport service is provided by the regional government and the regional government is also the one that chooses the operator. And the regional government chose for the next period the largest national operator the Czech Railways (ČD) company to service the line. The advantage is that they already have some modern EMUs to be operated on this line, but still. They are like 4 times larger and longer than the small rail buses that used to be operated there before. Also the ČD have also some old classical locomotive+coaches units which now run on this line as well.
So this is the story how a small irrelevant local line that was destined to be closed is now operated by large classical trains that are not even that common on the much larger and busier lines in the rest of the country.
