The Czech Pendolino left the test facility for the first time on 19 January 2004, but it still wasn't by its own power (still not certified). It was dragged by 751 017 to Nymburk depot, where an underwheel lathe is situated. It was neccessary to adjust diameter of all its wheels to 882 mm before four measuring axles, offered by DB System Technik (former Forschungs- und Technologie Zentrum) Minden, will be mounted on the unit in February 2004. Here, the trainset just enters Velim station. Here the connection siding from the test circuit meets the public network. From this reason, the circuit is often named as located to Velim. In fact, it is closer to Cerhenice, thus it is also called as located in the latter village. Photo and scan: Petr Kaderavek (kade@email.cz)
