True high speed train lines will soon be built in Poland. The first set will be a service from Warsaw to Wroclaw and Poznan in a Y shape. The trains will travel at 350 km/h
I took the same route but with the regular ic train in first class which was 30min longer but quarter of the price which for me was not worth the fare difference at all
Nie ma za co! W Niemczech jeszcze gorzej , tam to dopiero opóźnienia pociągów, albo całe linie wyłączone , połączeń nie ma , albo 100 przesiadek z A nach B . Tam to dopiero masz radochę jak wsiadasz do pociągu, ale najpierw musi ten pociąg przyjechać, żebyś wsiadł, i odjechać , a najważniejsze dojechać do celu. Tam gorzej niż na dzikim Zachodzie, bo tam miałeś jeszcze konia do wyboru, albo bryczkę.
I do not believe that LK9 between Warsaw and Gdańsk is planed for upgrade to 250kmph. Upgrade to from 200 to 250kmph started this year on LK4 between Warsaw and Kraków/Katowice. If anything there are plans to build brand new high speed line to Gdańsk (LK3) capable of speeds up to 350kmph
There is indeed planned upgrade of Warsaw-Gdansk in form of CMK North which will be in big part new route following current one in the northern section. It is initially planned for 250km/h but with possibility to further increase to 300. There were also talks about improving geometry on some sections of existing route but I don't know how this ended.
Having 683 km^2 of area Gdańsk is not the 6th, but 5th largest city: and not in Poland (where is 1st) but in the whole Eurocommune (after Rome, Zargoza, Berlin and Hamburg).
This is why there is a selection of different types of services: subsidized TLK/IC and commercial EIC/EIP. The first two provide public service and address transport exclusion, while the latter two cater to those seeking higher comfort and faster journeys. EIC and EIP trains not only offer greater comfort but also feature a restaurant carriage (WARS) with decent service. Additionally, there's a lower chance of encountering passengers who disregard basic travel etiquette, such as keeping shoes ON, avoiding placing feet on seats, playing music loudly, and using inappropriate (wk....ów/ku$%^, wku%#%^ ;) ) language. These factors make it really worth paying a little more to enjoy better service, comfort, journey time and smaller chance for spending several hours with unpleasant people.
@@garfield-yk5xt Some people are still buying things, they cannot afford. Eastern mentality. To show their "status". So don't count on not meeting "kurwa" people :P
@@stant3040 I know, I'm just saying that in the Netherlands there are more expensive train tickets than in Poland, for example. At least that's how I felt it while living there.
Both Warsaw and Gdansk are terms commonly used in modern English, so are understandable for most of the people. Me, personally, almost never came across the original term Gyddanyzc, or the later German term Danzig.
Podstawowa zasada translatoryki: tylko dwa polskie miasta (Warszawa i Kraków) mają angielskie nazwy. Pozostałe miejscowości nie posiadają angielskich odpowiedników.
