A first full schedule train has left the Chinese city of Xi\u2019an to the Czech rail hub \u010cesk\u00e1 T\u0159ebov\u00e1. The METRANS service is supported by Xi\u2019an International Port Group and Beijing Trans Eurasia.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>The transit time is the key advantage of the service – it takes only 11 days to cross Eurasia. The \u010cesk\u00e1 T\u0159ebov\u00e1 hub is well-connected to other facilities, such as METRANS\u2019 Prague and Dunajsk\u00e1 Streda terminals. Those are reachable within the same day of arrival.<\/p>\n

The train is one of few that has a fixed transit time. Duisburg has been the main European destination. The addition of \u010cesk\u00e1 T\u0159ebov\u00e1 and the future addition of Budapest as destinations are, in that sense, a bit unique.<\/p>\n
