R18 Slovácký expres · Praha – Staré Město – Luhačovice

Simutrans design for the workday R18 Praha – Kolín – Pardubice – Olomouc – Přerov – Staré Město u Uherského Hradiště – Luhačovice, as two coupled lines. Times are real JR2026 times from the national CIS JŘ timetable, for trains that run on all five days Mon–Fri 5–9 October 2026; compositions from vagonweb.cz.

Notation: L = odd hours, S = even hours. Every 120, odd hours come first: offset 47 means every 2 h at L:47, and even hours add 60 (offset 107 means S:47). Highlighted rows are timed stops. "Leave up to" is 30 min on every entry. "Couple with" is set on the joining line's entry (schedule dialog row "Couple with"; rail only, needs the calendar).

Vehicles

Vehicles = round trip ÷ interval. A train waits at the terminus for its line's next slot, so the round trip is a whole number of intervals.

R18 Slovácký expres

• The real R18 is one train Praha – Luhačovice: a RAILL 193 (Vectron) as far as Staré Město u Uherského Hradiště, a ČD 750.7 diesel from there, five coaches through to Luhačovice and one Bmz only to Staré Město (vagonweb 2026, the same on every workday R18).
• The game uses the fork's coupling, as for R12a / R12b Brno – Zábřeh – Šumperk / Jeseník: R18 (the 193 with the Staré Město coach) and R18 Luhačovice (the 750.7 with the through coaches) keep their own schedules. R18 Luhačovice says "Couple with R18" at Praha odstavné nádraží and at Staré Město towards Praha. Coupled, they run as one train: the 193 in front pulls, the 750.7 is idle under the wire.
• Going out the pair leaves the depot at S:34 and Praha-Vršovice at S:47, and parts at Staré Město (in S:18). R18 Luhačovice goes on at S:33 to Luhačovice (L:20). Coming back R18 Luhačovice leaves Luhačovice at S:31, reaches Staré Město at L:20, couples with the R18 that has waited there since S:18, and the pair leaves at L:36 for Praha (Vršovice L:15, depot L:25).
• Every real slot is used: the game runs the 2-hourly R18 all day, as the real trains run from 6:58 / 8:47 to 14:47 from Praha and 8:31 to 16:31 from Luhačovice.

Timetable entries

Round trip (10 h, so 5 vehicles at every 120)

• R18 "Slovácký expres", every 2 h as in reality: Praha-Vršovice S:47 (Praha hl. n. :58), Staré Město u Uherského Hradiště S:18; back from Staré Město L:36, Praha hl. n. :11, Praha-Vršovice L:15. Every real workday R18 runs through to Luhačovice; this line is its Praha – Staré Město part.
• In the game this line is the RAILL 193 (Vectron) with the Staré Město coach (a Bmz), the front of the real train. It is the primary train: R18 Luhačovice couples behind it.
• At Staré Město it ends (stop type terminal): the coupled train parts there, R18 Luhačovice goes on at S:33, and this train waits 1 h 18 min (in S:18, out L:36) for the next R18 Luhačovice coming back. The real 193 and the Staré Město coach do the same (Bmz 366 runs Praha – Staré Město on R 889 and back on R 884).
• Praha end, on the real empty runs to and from the depot Praha Jih (Praha odstavné nádraží, as for R9 and R19): depot S:34, Praha-Vršovice in :38, out S:47; back in Praha-Vršovice L:15, out to the depot L:21, at the depot L:25. The train waits 1 h 09 min at the depot, not at a platform. Five vehicles.
• Timed: the termini, Praha hl. n. both ways (7 min going out), Pardubice hl. n. and Olomouc hl. n. both ways (important stations), and Přerov towards Praha (5 min).

Round trip (12 h, so 6 vehicles at every 120)

• The five through coaches (Ampz, Bbdgmee, Bmz, Bdpee, Bmz) with the ČD 750.7 diesel. Between Praha and Staré Město it runs coupled behind R18; from Staré Město to Luhačovice and back it runs alone, as the real 750.7 hauls the coaches.
• Coupling (fork, rail): its Praha odstavné nádraží entry and its Staré Město entry towards Praha say "Couple with R18, wait up to 10 min". Only this line carries the setting; R18 is the primary. The pair stays together through the Praha end (both schedules go on to the same stops) and parts at Staré Město going out, where R18 ends. Both lines have the same slots on the coupled part.
• Staré Město: in S:18 (coupled), out S:33 to Luhačovice, 15 min as in reality (the real loco change). Coming back: in L:20, coupled with the R18 that waits there, out L:36.
• Luhačovice: in L:20, out S:31, 1 h 11 min as in reality. On the way back it waits 8 min at Uherský Brod (:49 – :57), where it crosses the train to Luhačovice. Going out it waits 4 min at Újezdec u Luhačovic (:03 – :07).
• Not like reality: the 750.7 runs to Praha and back with the coaches, idle behind the 193 under the wire (the fork's mixed traction pulls with the electric engine there and adds no running cost for the idle diesel). In reality it stays on the branch and the coaches change engine at Staré Město; Simutrans cannot move coaches from one train to another. Six vehicles.
• The real Thursday, Friday and Sunday extra coaches to Staré Město are not modelled (workday base composition).
