This was the yard, with a Class 814 and an 810 waiting to work local services. Telc doesn't have a direct connection to Prague, in spite of its status, but it can be reached fairly easily via either Tabor and Kostelec u Jihlavy or Havlickuv Brod and Kostelec u Jihlavy. At some times of day, Kostelec can also be accessed more quickly via Ceske Budejovice.

This is the station at Telc, a popular tourist destination and UNESCO world heritage site. I visited at the time when there were very few tourists there, partly because it was right after New Year's, but also because the weather was quite cold and most of the businesses were closed.

Due to the immense disruption caused by the Tunnel Blanka construction, Nadrazi Dejvice has often been closed, with Gymnasijni serving as an alternate station. Gymnasijni is a very new station, and has a temporary appearance, so whether it will be shut down once Tunnel Blanka is built I don't know.

About a week after I went to Neratovice, I went to Hostivice, a smaller town also close to Prague. The trains there are often even smaller, appropriately enough for the town, often consisting of mere railbuses.

Increasingly, local services on Ceske Drahy are being taken over by these Class 814 railbuses, in place of the older Class 810's. My understanding is that these are rebuilds of 810's.

Here's another shot showing the other 814 that was waiting in Kladno at that moment, as they appeared to be doing a meet while making their station stops simultaneously.

This crossing at one end of the Nadrazi Veleslavin yard (out of site to the left) is interesting to photograph, though, as it allows one to combine a train, a crossing, and an interlocking tower in the same shot. Here a Class 814 railbus heads into the station.
