At the time of my January 2006 visit CD had gone Pendolino crazy. There were posters and stickers everywhere advertising the things including two huge banners defacing the end of the overall roof at Praha hl.n. All that was missing was the pendolinos themselves. Most of their duties were being covered by short loco hauled rakes while the new trains sat failed at the depot with software problems. 680.005 was one of the few that was actually moving and appeared to be on a test run when it passed me going east near Pardubice-Opocinek on 23 January 2006.
