Not That Slow!
Forget the time
when taking a
train in Poland
meant a long,
uncomfortable
journey that all
dreaded. A few
years back, the
Polish State Railroad (PKP) introduced faster
trains that are not only comfortable but quite
often get there before a car would (and they
didn't pay us to say that!).
The two lines are
InterCity (a
country-wide
connector), and
EuroCity which
takes you to
neighboring
western and
southern countries.
