Czech Railways (ČD) will invest CZK 246m in modernising nine
WLABmee sleeping cars and the same number of Bcmz couchette
cars. ČD general director Michal Krapinec said his company also
created a new brand, ČD Night. It has thus joined the European
effort to expand the operation of night trains, perceived as an ecofriendly
alternative to air transportation. ČD has six modernised
WLARmee cars, and the rest will be adapted at ŠKODA PARS in
Šumperk in winter. For instance, they are deployed on connections
to Košice, Poprad and Budapest.
