Nádraží Veleslavín is a station on Line A of the Prague Metro.^[1] In early March 2015 it was put into trial operation and opened on 6 April 2015,^[2] together with Bořislavka, Petřiny and Nemocnice Motol stations.

The station is adjacent to the Praha-Veleslavín railway station and a bus terminal which became the new end of the 119 bus line from Václav Havel Airport and regional buses, e.g. Kladno. The station is 20m below ground level. From 2000-2006 three ministers of the Czech republic government promised that the "High Speed Line Prague-Airport-Kladno" (Czech term "rychlodráha") would be finished before or by the time of the metro extension. The name "High Speed Line" is not accurate, however, because according to the plans, at the Prague part of the railway, maximum speed is going to be 80 km (50 mi) per hour.^[3] Today, there's a non-electrified railway (only Prague-Kladno, not including the airport) of one track with a maximum speed of about 60 km/h (37 mph).
