IMPORTANT NOTE: in the Czech Railways timetable Jízdní Řád, the "crossed hammers" working days symbol means "Mondays to Fridays" not, as for most other railways, "Mondays to Saturdays".
Praha-Běchovice – Praha-Malešice – Praha-Vršovice [010, 011] (35B2, 36B) CZ09/1
Owing to engineering operations between Praha-Libeň and Praha-Běchovice, most express trains to and from the Kolín direction continue to use this mainly freight-only route. These services can be identified in the timetable by the wavy line marking against stations Praha- Libeň to Praha-Běchovice inclusive, and (usually) an advertised call at Praha-Vršovice.
Velký Osek – Sány (výhybna Kanín) via direct curve [020] (36A1, 23) CZ09/2
There are two single-track routes between Velký Osek and the line eastwards towards Chlumec nad Cidlinou: one (1.6 km long) direct to the north-east, and the other a 4.2 km loop line initially heading south-east.
The roughly hourly through "fast" trains between Nymburk and Chlumec use the loop line to avoid reversal at Velký Osek station. The approximately 2-hourly through trains between Kolín and Chlumec (introduced in 2009) are expected on the basis of their timings to use the direct curve.
Stopping passenger trains, starting / terminating at Velký Osek to/from the Chlumec line, are allowed either 5-7 minutes, or 11-12 minutes, between Velký Osek and Sány. Despite appearances, these should not be assumed to correspond to use of the direct curve and the loop line respectively. Observations in 2005 suggest that the loop line is normally used when arriving at Velký Osek, and the direct curve when departing. However, as either route can be reached from every platform, this may not apply to all services.
Nymburk město – Veleliby [061, 071] (35B3, 22) CZ09/3
The direct line is used by trains between Nymburk město and Veleliby or Křinec which are not booked to call intermediately at Nymburk hl.n.
| SO | Sp 1657 | Praha-Smíchov - 09:35 Nymburk město - Doksy | |
| SuO | Sp 1950 | Turnov - 18:13 Křinec - Praha-Vršovice | |
| SO | Sp 1656 | Doksy - 18:35 Mladá Boleslav hl.n. - Praha-Smíchov |
Dolní Zálezly (výhybna Ústí nad Labem jih) – Ústí nad Labem západ [090, 130] (35B1, 08A) CZ09/4
Timetabled Praha - Cheb services via this curve were withdrawn on 8 December 2007 but use by various services continued during the 2007/08 timetable as rebuilding work at Ústí nad Labem hl. n. significantly reduced capacity there and at times blocked through working between the main line and Ústí nad Labem západ. Use of this curve had ceased by 1 September 2008, when the work was completed. Through services between Praha and Cheb once again reverse at Ústí nad Labem hl. n.
Praha-Holešovice – Praha-Libeň [010, ML] (35A2, 36A-B) CZ09/5
A frequent local service listed as table ML [Městská Linka] (located between tables 091 and 092) runs via this route on Mondays to Fridays in addition to the EC/IC services that use this route to avoid calling at Praha hl. n.
Žatec avoiding line: Žatec západ – Žiželice (odbočka Velichov) [124, 160] (35B1, 18) CZ09/6
This curve is used by trains between Blatno u Jesenice and Chomutov not calling at Žatec. This is a reinstatement of a service withdrawn on 9 December 2006.
| SX | Sp1990 | Plzeň hl.n. - 19:57 Žatec západ - Most | |
| SuX | Sp1991 | Most - 05:25 Chomutov - Plzeň hl.n. |
Praha-Vršovice – Praha- Vyšehrad [171, 210, 221] (35A2, 36A) CZ09/7
This east to west curve is used by special excursion trains of historic stock.
| D1 | Sp1655 | 08:34 Praha-Smíchov - Kácov | |
| D1 | Sp1654 | Kácov - 17s17 Praha-Vršovice - Praha-Smíchov | |
| D2 | Sp1790 | 09:15 Praha-Braník - Lužná u Rakovníka | |
| D2 | Sp1791 | Lužná u Rakovníka - 17:17 Praha-Smíchov - Praha-Braník |
D1: 4 April, 1 May, 5 July and 24 October 2009. Operated by Posázavský Pacifik - doprava s.r.o.
D2: 11 - 13 April, 8 August, 17 & 18 October and 12 December 2009. Operated by KŽC Doprava s.r.o.
Praha-Vysočany – Praha-Libeň [231] (35A2, 36B) CZ09/8
The Nové spojení project included construction of a new line providing direct access between Praha Masarykovo and Praha-Vysočany. Praha Masarykovo - Lysá nad Labem - Kolín services now run by the new line and use of this curve (which involved a reversal west of Praha-Libeň) has now ceased.
Břevnice (odbočka Kubešův Mlýn) – Havlíčkův Brod [238] (41A3 not correctly shown, 56) CZ09/9
There are two routes between (Pardubice -) Břevnice and Havlíčkův Brod, one joining the line from Brno (table 250) and running into Havlíčkův Brod from the south and the other running directly into Havlíčkův Brod from the north. The latter route serves separate platforms on the eastern side of Havlíčkův Brod station which are also accessible from the south. It is not possible to tell from the timetable which route trains will use. However, through trains to/from Jihlava (table 225) are likely to use the eastern side platforms and the northern route to avoid reversal at Havlíčkův Brod.
| R 1183 | Pardubice hl.n. - 08:36 Chotěboř - Jihlava | ||
| R 1181 | Pardubice hl.n. - 16:31 Chotěboř - Jihlava | ||
| R 1180 | Jihlava - 09:15 Havlíčkův Brod - Pardubice hl.n. | ||
| R 1182 | Jihlava - 17:15 Havlíčkův Brod - Pardubice hl.n. |
In addition the northern route was observed in 2008 being used by
| Os 5382 | 08:09 Havlíčkův Brod - Chotěboř * |
Přerov avoiding line: Rokytnice u Přerova (výhybna Dluhonice) – Prosenice [270] (42A3, 61) CZ09/10
This west to north curve is used by all trains between Olomouc and Hranice na Moravě which are not scheduled to call at Přerov, indicated by a vertical wavy line marking against this station.
Polanka nad Odrou – Ostrava-Vítkovice (odbočka Odra) [270, 321] (42A3, 47B) CZ09/11
This curve is used by trains between Český Těšín and Studénka routed via Havířov but not Ostrava hl.n.
| FO | R 1541 | Praha hl.n. - 17:03 Studénka - Český Těšín | |
| SuO | R 1540 | Český Těšín - 16:47 Ostrava-Vítkovice - Praha hl.n. |
Bludov avoiding line: Postřelmov – Bludov lázně [291, 292] (41B3, 42) CZ09/12
This curve is used by trains between Zábřeh na Moravě and Hanušovice which are not scheduled to call at Bludov. These trains are recognisable in the timetable by the vertical wavy line marking against Bludov.
Křenovice horní n. – Holubice [300] (41B2, 75) CZ09/13
Most trains on the Brno - Přerov line use the connection between Blažovice (on the Brno - Veselí nad Moravou line) and Holubice. The minority of trains running via Křenovice horní n. can be identified in the timetable by a vertical wavy line against Blažovice. Route changes are sometimes made for pathing reasons to accommodate late running.
Brno-Židenice – Brno-Slatina (odbočka Slatinská) [340] (41B2, 79A) CZ09/14
This is an alternative route between Brno hl.n. and the Veselí nad Moravou line, involving reversal at Brno-Židenice instead of running via Brno-Černovice. Trains using this route are recognisable in the timetable by the vertical wavy line against Brno-Černovice.

(Neusalza-Spremberg –) frontier – frontier (– Taubenheim (Spree)) [DB table 235] CZ09/15
