LEO Express, formerly Rapid Express, is an open-access train operator set up in 2010. It launched inter-city services in November 2012 on the Prague–Ostrava route (in the Czech Republic), on which Czech Railways (state owned train operator) and RegioJet (open-access train operator) were already running trains. In 2013 LEO Express became the first private railway operator introducing direct connection between Prague and South Moravian Region (Staré Město u Uherského Hradiště).
