Railway infrastructure development in Cheb

Overview

Railway infrastructure in Cheb, Czech Republic, is undergoing significant development through new maintenance facilities and station restoration.

In September 2026, České dráhy opened a new 830 million CZK train maintenance hall. The facility, constructed over 28 months, features three tracks designed to service entire train sets without decoupling. The center incorporates sustainable technologies such as a photovoltaic power plant and rainwater harvesting, and is expected to service Railjet units starting in 2028.

Following this, plans were announced for a 428 million CZK architectural restoration of the Cheb railway station. The project aims to preserve the 1962 mid-century modern design by Josef Danda, restoring original materials, stained glass, and mosaics. The renovation will also modernize energy efficiency and transform the station’s seventh-floor tower into a multifunctional public space, with completion projected for 2028.
