Radegast express to run across moravia

10.12.2008 Radegast

The R732 Radegast express departs for the first time from Bohumín to Brno on Sunday at 8:17. Another train with the same name designated R733 is going to set out in the opposite direction at 7:02 from Brno main station. Radegast express trains will run in the same manner every day.

Radegast beer will thus join the list of important symbols or personalities with their own trains. Trains named Hradčany, Emil Zátopek or Odra already run on Czech corridors. Selecting a route for the Radegast express wasn't difficult at all, according to the brand manager of the Nošovice brand Pavel Kmínek: “Radegast is a powerful Moravian symbol. The route for trains bearing its name thus logically goes through Moravian region.”

Passengers of the fist Sunday Radegast train from Ostrava to Brno are going to receive a free can of Radegast beer as a welcome drink.
