Nové Spojení 2, also known as Metro S[2] is a planned series of underground rail tunnels through the city centre of Prague, Czech Republic.[3] Projected in 2019 to cost 40 billion CZK, construction could begin by 2030.[2]

Background[edit]

Construction on the first phase of Nové Spojení began in 2004, involving tunnels and underpasses but no new stations. A plan for a second set of tunnels with new underground stations was developed between 2006 and 2009, but did not progress further.[4]

After the first phase's opening, rail commuting became increasingly popular and capacity to provide further services is not available on the rail network in its current form. Building a second phase of Nové Spojení would allow cross city services from the Karlín area to Praha-Smíchov railway station via Karlovo náměstí (Charles Square); diverting regional services through the Nové Spojení 2 tunnels would allow extra capacity on existing lines for ongoing plans for high-speed rail in the Czech Republic.[5]

Stations[edit]

As part of the project, new stations are planned including underground transfer stations at Florenc, Wenceslas Square (provisionally named Opera), Karlovo náměstí and Náměstí Bratří Synků.
