IconStaff no English
The train journey from Prague to Český Krumlov with train number 12345 was disappointing. The journey time was about 3 hours, but the train was extremely unpunctual, which made the journey frustrating. On the plus side, the ticket price was cheap, but that was about the best of it. The staff didn't speak English, which made communication difficult, and the train was very dirty, which detracted from the whole experience. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this journey.
