@sintzoff No need to apologize for the hashtag, Jon Worth also uses it this way! I personally distinguish the two with #CrossRegionRail but it doesn't seem to have been picked up more widely

@redjives I use #CrossRegionRail for this sort of thing, but in this case, I'll admit a bunch of people would probably find it offensive!

Okay, here's maybe less news and more an example of terrible coverage of #CrossBorderRail - trains between Berlin and Kostrzyn have returned on Saturday 11 July, Rynek Kolejowy publishes a piece announcing it three weeks later, and cites Polregio (responsible operator on the Polish side) as saying they're running to Ostkreuz whereas they're STILL terminating in Lichtenberg, according to German info.
On which point, it's been OVER HALF A FRIGGING YEAR and the Germans apparently still haven't told their Polish counterparts that the extension to Ostkreuz isn't happening yet. What the hell?: https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/wrocily-bezposrednie-pociagi-kostrzyn--berlin---153873.html -

Koleje Małopolskie (Lesser Poland Railways) are expanding their area of responsibility for the first time in years - the voivodeship is going to have them take over Polregio's cross-voivodeship routes from Kraków to Katowice and Czechowice-Dziedzice. All this within the scope of the existing contract.

I wrote the other day about Warmia-Masuria's tender woes, and one of the things they're trying to do is start running bi-hourly trains between Ełk and Olecko. Well, it turns out that's not the full extent of reactivation plans there… Two weeks ago, vice-minister for railways Malepszak apparently promised a Suwałki-Olecko-Ełk-Pisz-Olsztyn-Tricity-Szczecin IC pair for #RailwayNewYear.
One pair is not going to reshape Poland's railway map or anything, of course, but this is, to an extent, a breakthrough for what's supposed to become Lithuania's main connection to the rest of Europe: https://dwutygodniksuwalski.pl/nowe-polaczenie-kolejowe-suwalki-szczecin-juz-od-grudnia-pojedzie-przez-gdansk/ -

So, a little Rynek Kolejowy drop: Koleje Dolnośląskie (Lower Silesian Railways) will take over the remaining Głogów-Zielona Góra trains from Polregio, having previously been given all trains running through from Wrocław. The Zielona Góra-Żary-Węgliniec-Görlitz route will remain with Polregio for the time being despite speculation and the voivodeship's continued disappointment with the company's performance. The Lubusz Voivodeship also confirmed their Lower Silesian counterparts' earlier announcement that they will be running Legnica-Cottbus trains (as seen at https://mastodon.com.pl/@HaTetsu/116438917153980057): https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/koleje-dolnoslaskie-zastapia-polregio-na-trasie-glogow--zielona-gora--152732.html

RE: https://zug.network/@deluisa/116438556141684471
For the international audience: Koleje Dolnośląskie (the Lower Silesian Railways) are expected to rent 6 Poland-approved DMUs from DB that currently ply the Forst-Tuplice-Żary route and use them to expand cross-border traffic to a Legnica-Cottbus through connection with 7 pairs a day (and also improve their diesel rolling stock numbers overall) from the 2026/7 timetable. Funding is supposed to be secured through at least 2030.
Bit of a shame they couldn't get this figured out sooner what with all the Berlin-Frankfurt (Oder) chaos but this should make Forst significantly better as an alternative, more affordable and reservation-free, route between Germany and Poland

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:

#PKPIC planning to double Kraków-Bielsko-Biała ICs to 8 pairs in 2 hour Takt from 2026/7 timetable, travel time down to 1h10m, 3 pairs running through to Żywiec. This route probably looks weird to German (why is this not an RE?) and French (What is this weird not-TGV not-TER thing?) eyes, but it makes a lot of sense in our weird organization of passenger rail!

CW: Fahrtle spoilers
@bovine3dom Okay, I have to admit I didn't figure out how to reach the Telangana Express in time until I looked at the top ghost xd (Which, by the way, looks kinda wonky - predates fixes or out-of-session ghosts still need improvements?)
Interesting to note India also has a #CrossRegionRail problem, though.

And last and most: The Ministry of Infrastructure has announced trains are going to reach the west Podlachian town of Łomża, deprived of passenger rail since 1993, this June! …However, the initial offer will not include the promised direct connections to Warsaw. The first #PKPIC route to connect Łomża will run Białystok-Łapy-Łomża (direction change)-Ostrołęka-Szczytno-Olsztyn, instead. There will be 2 pairs a day of those, and also 4 pairs of Polregio trains to Białystok. All these trains will use a new curve in the direction of Białystok being constructed at Śniadowo. The exact timetables are still being constructed and will be announced, well, when PKP PLK announces timetable changes.
The cited reason for the lack of direct connections to Warsaw is twofold: One, PKP IC is still short on Diesel rolling stock, pending the delivery of Newag Impuls EDMUs - the Białystok-Łomża-Olsztyn trains are to be run with ex-Dutch DM90 units rented from SKPL Cargo (which are to be painted in the livery used on PKP IC's Flirt and Dart EMUs as a sign of commitment to long-term usage). Second, capacity is reduced between Ostrołęka and Tłuszcz, a major junction north-east of Warsaw, due to engineering works. The national carrier expects to start running Warsaw-Łomża from the March 2027 timetable change: https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/pociagi-dalekobiezne-z-lomzy-do-olsztyna-a-nie-do-warszawy--126559.html5/5

There will be 2 pairs a day of those, and also 4 pairs of Polregio trains to Białystok. All these trains will use a new curve in the direction of Białystok being constructed at Śniadowo. The exact timetables are still being constructed and will be announced, well, when PKP PLK announces timetable changes.
The cited reason for the lack of direct connections to Warsaw is twofold: One, PKP IC is still short on Diesel rolling stock, pending the delivery of Newag Impuls EDMUs - the Białystok-Łomża-Olsztyn trains are to be run with ex-Dutch DM90 units rented from SKPL Cargo (which are to be painted in the livery used on PKP IC's Flirt and Dart EMUs as a sign of commitment to long-term usage). Second, capacity is reduced between Ostrołęka and Tłuszcz, a major junction north-east of Warsaw, due to engineering works. The national carrier expects to start running Warsaw-Łomża from the March 2027 timetable change: https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/pociagi-dalekobiezne-z-lomzy-do-olsztyna-a-nie-do-warszawy--126559.html5/5

And last and most: The Ministry of Infrastructure has announced trains are going to reach the west Podlachian town of Łomża, deprived of passenger rail since 1993, this June! …However, the initial offer will not include the promised direct connections to Warsaw. The first #PKPIC route to connect Łomża will run Białystok-Łapy-Łomża (direction change)-Ostrołęka-Szczytno-Olsztyn, instead. There will be 2 pairs a day of those, and also 4 pairs of Polregio trains to Białystok. All these trains will use a new curve in the direction of Białystok being constructed at Śniadowo.

#PKPIC will cut stops in Kuźnia Raciborska (a small town of 4600 between Kędzierzyn-Koźle and Racibórz) for some trains. Although the official reason are safety concerns due to the short (~100 m) platforms, and a request to move stop location indicators ~20 m beyond the end of platforms was filed with PKP PLK, the company's press office noted demand is "tiny". Kuźnia sits at a voivodeship border and regional services are provided by the Opole Voivodeship. However, out of existing IC connections, only one pair provides access to the Upper Silesian Metropolis around Katowice, so I have to admit, I'm not sure what to think about this: https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/pkp-intercity-ograniczy-liczbe-postojow-w-kuzni-raciborskiej--126422.html
