On 9 September 2018, a complete train with PepsiCo products was sent to its last journey this year from Prague to Budapest. This connection was launched at the end of June, and approximately 20,000 tonnes of goods were transported.
The new link significantly relieved the reconstructed D1 motorway, as the ČD Cargo trains replaced some 800 trucks (1,600 in both directions). With regard to seasonal character of the transports, next trains should appear on the tracks again in the spring of next year.
