Detailed desciption

The goal of metro line A extension to the station Depo Hostivař is the creation of a new terminal for city bus transportation and suburban transportation from the eastern part of the city. Simultaneously, the industrial and administrative complex in the direct walking distance of the station will be served by the station.
Line A will be extended by approximately 1 kilometer.
The new section will be double-track, with a level connection of the depot head. Trains will arrive on the one or the other track in turns using the double connection in front of the portal at the entrance, or single connection in front of the station hall. Speed on the section between Skalka and Depo Hostivař is 40 km per hour, allowed arrival speed in the station Depo Hostivař is 20 km per hour.
The station Depo Hostivař is a surface station situated in a separate part of the existing depot area in the hall that previously served as wash box for trains.

Maximum line speed	40 km per hour
arch in front of the hall	30 km per hour
for arrival to the station in the hall	20 km per hour
The minimum sequential operation interval is influenced by technological duration of train turning.
alternating train turning with rolling crew	100 s
alternating train turning without rolling crew	140 s
train turning on single track No. 1 with rolling crew	135 s
train turning on single track No. 1 without rolling crew	225 s
Number of carriages in a train set	5 carriages
Seating capacity at 4 persons standing on 1 m2	845 passengers per carriage

Aspects of Interest

Apart from depot head reconstruction, not a single meter of new rails was needed.
For the first time ever, metro trains will go in the open air at a distance of approximately 435 m.
The station platform is levelled with the surrounding terrain.

Estimated investment costs:

Reconstruction of track head	480 mio CZK
New washbox and station construction	516 mio Kč
Surfaces	460 mio Kč

Implementation

Before station construction, the track head in front of the depot was reconstructed to enable trains with passengers to pass on the transport route in future. The reconstruction was performed during summer months of the year 2004 while the depot was shut down.
The station was placed in the area of an old wash box for trains. A new wash box was built in the spring of 2005 in the neighbouring area in the hall.
The estimated date of operation opening is April 2006.

Tram Line Hlubočepy - Barrandov

The purpose of the construction was to improve the quality and to enlarge the capacity of mass transportation to Barrandov housing estate and neighbouring area and to replace unsuitable bus transportation. The solution of high-capacity transportation will contribute to the development of the Barrandov area which is now limited by the mass transportation situation. The area is extremely suitable for urban development. Certain finance has already been invested to provide engineering lines in the area. The area includes Barrandov, Barrandov housing estate, Lochkov, Slivenec, Holyně and Klukovice. Transportation needs can be satisfied only with a high-capacity rail track with sufficient overkill. The use of a tramways is also beneficial with regard to the environment. Also, the dependence of mass transportation on the capacity of the main access road (K Barrandovu Street) is removed. The road is overloaded with motor-vehicle traffic which is constantly growing. A potential preference of mass transportation buses is also hardly feasible due to the location having insufficient width. The traffic can only be eased after the external road ring is put into operation. More...
