Meanwhile on Rynek Kolejowy: Koleje Śląskie (Silesian Railways) are remaking former coal mine land in Gliwice into a depot to take advantage of the existing rail connection, which PKP PLK has agreed to upgrade a bit (current speed limit 40 km/h): https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/plk-wyremontuja-linie-do-nowej-bazy-kolei-slaskich-w-gliwicach--136496.html

Osoba która projektowała obecny interfejs w biletomatach PKP powinna dostać antynagrodę 😑Jest całe podmenu ze zniżkami ale zniżki za karty dużej rodziny tam bo nie. Jest jako osobne pole w menu głównym. Dlaczego?!

Pokonało to ludzi w wieku moich rodziców, mi też moment zajęło

Curious thing I happened upon while checking out the article @jon shared: Effective 1 May, the Správa Železnic, Czechia's infrastructure manager, will stop including the delay reason in station announcements of delayed trains. They justify the decision by saying that, since only one reason could be included (and even that had to be picked from catalog of just 14 options), the announcement cannot be "completely objective" (and, well, also the fact that few countries do it). The zdopravy journalist adds that a particular issue was that, for the purposes of the announcements, delays caused by the train finishing its previous run delayed (the German "Verspätung aus vorheriger Fahrt") were announced as "operational train operating company reasons" even when said delay was actually caused by the infrastructure manager. This must have no doubt caused a serious issue with compensation claims at some point.

After less than half a year and a troubled launch, #RegioJet suddenly announced an end of their domestic routes in Poland effective 3 May, claiming PKP Group companies are engaging in anticompetitive conduct that threatens the viability of the company. The Przemyśl-Prague and Warsaw-Prague international routes are staying.

This comes only a couple days after RegioJet's CEO said the company "has to" stay in Poland in an interview (this last bit via @jeder)

Meanwhile, Kuyavia-Pomerania is bragging about having reached an agreement with Greater Poland to have 8 pairs of trains from Poznań extended to Kcynia, 6 of them onwards to Nakło nad Notecią in "2027". Could be 2027/8, but who knows, revitalized railway lines have been opening at various times of the year:

Co się dzieje kiedy pociąg dalekobieżny jest w rozkładzie szybszy niż regioekspres w ruchu aglomeracyjnym, choć w rzeczywistości niekoniecznie: dyżurny ruchu upiera się, że krótszy czas w rozkładzie (całe 12 minut!) to wyższy priorytet i puszcza 6 pociągów przed RE, potem jeszcze dwa po tym jak RE zaczynia się zatrzymywać na wszystkich stacjach, RE dojeżdża opóźniony 34 minuty mimo, że maszynista potrafi na tej trasie w sprzyjających warunkach zrzucić dzięki lepszemu przyspieszeniu i hamowaniu Desiro HC nawet 15 minut.
