''Slovenská strela'' (Slovak for "Slovak Arrow") is the name of an express train, first operated by ČSD in Czechoslovakia on the line between Bratislava and Prague. Introduced in 1936, Slovenská strela served as a ČSD flagship between the metropolises of Slovakia and Bohemia. It originally ran with unique motor units named also Slovenská strela, later with various motor, steam and electric locomotives. The train has been in service ever since, except for war years 1939-1945. However, in 1965-1967, the train was renamed to ''Ostravan-Bratislavan expres''.〔(History of Slovenská strela (in Czech) )〕 From December 2006 to 12 December 2009, as well as in 2011, the high-speed Pendolino ETR 680, manufactured in Italy and owned by Czech Railways as ČD Class 680 was introduced to this express.〔(Czech Railways Press Release from November 22, 2010 ) (in Czech)〕 In the 2010-timetable and from 2012 onwards, the train was operating on route Bratislava - Břeclav as EC 277/278 with through coaches from Bratislava to Prague and Ostseebad Binz, and from Prague detaching from EC 177 to Vienna. In the 2013 timetable, a through train between Bratislava and Stralsund via Prague and Berlin is named Slovenská strela. == See also == * Rail transport in Slovakia * Rail transport in the Czech Republic * ČSD Class M 290.0 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Slovenská strela」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
