Every train lines in Czech Republic are chartered by Czech Railways (Ceske Drahy). In Prague, there are 2 main train stations for International travels: be careful about which station when you are booking your ticket.

Moreover, I have noted that there is more space for your legs, that make me happy because I’m not little. 🙂
