Its reconstruction was classified among the first in our investment plan after the transfer of passenger stations from České dráhy. Therefore I am pleased that its premises will be used by the Czech Police and the social security administration“, said Mr. Jiří Svoboda, director General of Správa železnic. As he added, the track part of the station was already modernized in the past as well as the connecting bus terminal.

Investments dealt with complete reconstruction of the passenger building which was also thoroughly heated.

The main building facade was basically changed and acquired its almost original historical shape from 1889. In front of the two-store part of the building, a glassed-in corridor was built for transfer of passengers from the bus terminal to the vestibule. Roofing was also exchanged as well as all windows and doors.
