Easy to get wrong
Three genuinely separate companies (ČD, RegioJet, Leo Express) run trains on this exact corridor - a traveller checking only one operator's app or site will miss cheaper or better-timed departures on the other two.

ČD's quoted 217 CZK second-class fare requires the IN 25 discount card; earlier advance purchase generally brings the walk-up price down further regardless of operator.
