Správa železnic to cut 121 jobs in administration and management

The Czech rail infrastructure manager Správa železnic is cutting 121 jobs, mainly in administration and management, as part of a restructuring under its new director general Tomáš Tóth; staff working in operations are not affected. The management structure is being simplified from April, spending on marketing, IT and legal services falls by 20 %, and annual savings are to total CZK 335.6 million (approx. EUR 14 million). The 21 operating districts are being placed under the central control centres in Prague and Přerov, the preparation of public contracts is being centralised and opened up to smaller and foreign bidders, and the money freed up is to go mainly into preparing investment projects. The date is the date of the report; the article does not give the date of the announcement (LOK Report, 2 Mar 2026).
