Divadlo pod Palmovkou

Palmovka (Czech pronunciation: [ˈpalmofka]) is a Prague Metro station on Line B and also a neighborhood and a street in Libeň (Prague 8). The first metro entrance connects the station with the tram lines, the other one connects the station to a bus terminal. The station was opened on 22 November 1990 as part of the extension from Florenc to Českomoravská. The station was dug by a cut-and-cover method. The station is 203 m long with a 10 m wide platform without columns and has two entrances that are connected to the platform by escalators. The name of the station and adjacent neighbourhood derives from the Palm's homestead, from the family name of the 18th-century owners of the homestead, which have already disappeared under the new development.

The Nové spojení (Czech for "New Connection", full name Nové spojení Praha hl.n., Masarykovo n. – Libeň, Vysočany, Holešovice) is a series of tunnels and bridges forming an important part of the railway network in Prague, Czech Republic. The network was constructed between 2004 and 2008 and opened in 2010. It links the two central stations, Praha hlavní and Praha Masarykovo, to Libeň, Vysočany and Holešovice stations and the start of their respective mainline corridors towards Česká Třebová, Hradec Králové and Ústí nad Labem. The construction has increased the capacity of the trunk lines serving Praha hlavní nádraží, allowing more trains to terminate there. Prior to its completion, many international trains terminated at Holešovice station, due to lack of access to the centre from the northern and eastern routes. Trains are now also able to travel at speeds of up to 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) on the tunnel sections. The construction is also part of a larger plan to improve the sections of pan-European corridors on Czech territory.After leaving both central stations, the electrified tracks lead through a 1.3 km-long tunnel under Vítkov hill in Žižkov, then over a series of bridges skirting the Žižkov-Libeň border leading to a large junction at Balabenka. From here, trains continue east to Vysočany and Libeň, and turn north to Holešovice station, making use of the previously existing tracks which lead to Holešovice from Libeň. The construction of Nové spojení also led to numerous improvements in road infrastructure, including a heated overbridge at Krejcárek, which replaced a level crossing.

On 27 May 1942 in Prague, Reinhard Heydrich – the commander of the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA), acting governor of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, and a principal architect of the Holocaust – was attacked and wounded in an assassination attempt by Czechoslovak resistance operatives Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš. Heydrich died of his wounds on 4 June 1942. He was one of the most powerful men in Nazi Germany and an important figure in the rise of Adolf Hitler. The assassination, codenamed Operation Anthropoid, was carried out by soldiers of the Czechoslovak Army after preparation and training by the British Special Operations Executive and with the approval of the Czechoslovak government-in-exile, led by Edvard Beneš. The Czechoslovaks undertook the operation to help confer legitimacy on the government-in-exile, and to exact retribution for Heydrich's brutal rule. The operation was the only government-sponsored assassination of a senior Nazi leader during the Second World War. Heydrich's death led to a wave of reprisals by SS troops, including the destruction of villages and mass killings of civilians.

Žižkov tram depot (Czech: Vozovna Žižkov) is a tram depot in Žižkov that has been part of the Prague tram network since 1912. The depot celebrated its centenary in 2012. There are seven tram depots in Prague (eight if you count the museum in old depot in Střešovice, nine if you count workshop depot in Hostivař), Žižkov is second oldest of those seven. Žižkov depot is currently (September 2014) home to 77 Tatra T3SUCS trams, 6 T3R.PV trams and 41 T6A5 trams which are operated in pairs mostly on tram lines 1, 9, 11, 12, 14, 24 and 25. All T3SUCS in Prague are supposed to be replaced with a new type of tram - Škoda 15T within the next few years. More than a hundred 15T's were delivered (to Pankrác and Vokovice depot), and many of T3SUCS were already put out of service, stored at yard of workshop-depot in Hostivař, and offered to purchase. However, due to technical issues of Škoda 14T trams which had to be withdrawn from service, some of the old T3SUCS are now temporally back. It is not certain yet if Žižkov will operate 15T tram instead of T3SUCS, or some other depot will get new 15T trams and Žižkov will get some older trams from other depots, such as T6A5 from Strašnice tram depot or T3R.PV from Vokovice tram depot. The T6A5 model is also old and not much prospective; those cars located in Žižkov depot were built in 1996 and 1997. Elimination of this model is expected since the last of 250 15T's will be delivered in 2018.
