Hostivice is a suburb of Prague, and is one of the stations on the way to Kladno, where there is a small airport. The line is unelectrified, so most of the services are either Class 854 DMU's, like the one I rode, or Class 810 railbuses, seen here.

This was the yard, with a Class 814 and an 810 waiting to work local services. Telc doesn't have a direct connection to Prague, in spite of its status, but it can be reached fairly easily via either Tabor and Kostelec u Jihlavy or Havlickuv Brod and Kostelec u Jihlavy. At some times of day, Kostelec can also be accessed more quickly via Ceske Budejovice.

This is the station at Telc, a popular tourist destination and UNESCO world heritage site. I visited at the time when there were very few tourists there, partly because it was right after New Year's, but also because the weather was quite cold and most of the businesses were closed.

Here's the second shot of the 810 and its coach on the crossing.

Finally, the train came, turning out to be a Class 810 railbus, trailed by an 010 Class 4-wheel coach.

And, finally, to conclude the sequence, here are the gates raising.

The renovation of Nadrazi Cercany continued apace throughout 2009, and by the end of August the platforms were complete and Nastupiste (Platform) 2 was already operational, as seen here. The passenger subway wasn't open yet (notice the pedestrian crossing in the right background of this picture), as the concrete was still being poured and dried, and the canopy on the Nastupiste 1 still wasn't up. The track construction was looking quite good, though.

With the old coal bunkers and other structures to the north of the station knocked down, the Class 810 railbuses running services to Sazava and other outlying towns now sit in the open as they wait, and are easier to photography from the street.

This was, I think, an unintentionally blurred shot, although I could be wrong. The fact was the film was only 100 ISO, so it made it easier to get in that sense.

This was the most successful of my attempts to shoot a picture out of the windows of #810472-1, which would be the only railbus, and only car, on my train that day.

Here's the best of my interior shots, with the best exposure, basically.

This was one of the Class 810 railbuses used on the Sedlcany services, awaiting its next assignment at Olbramovice.
