PKP PLK is threatening to sue the leader of the Locomotive Drivers' Trade Union who refused to retract comments in which he stated multiple recent derailments occurred due to PLK not reacting to findings from regular track inspections properly and having trains run at full speed where conditions call for a restriction: https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/zzm-mietek-nie-przeprosi-za-oskarzenia-wobec-plk-153874.html

Newsdrop, "Jon Worth just crossed half of Poland by regional rail" edition:

PKP Intercity has moved up the extension of IC Gryf (currently Szczecin-Olsztyn) to Białystok via Pisz from December to September this year. This will mark the return of IC trains to the southern Masuria-crossing line after a brief absence due to the primary northern route through Korsze and Giżycko reopening: https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/pkp-intercity-z-calorocznym-pociagiem-do-pisza-od-wrzesnia-153884.html

Dziś odpowiem na trudne pytanie, które czasem słyszę: "czy panu się to opłaca?"

Otóż, opłaca mi się. Dziękuję za uwagę.

A tak poważnie, to pozwolę sobie zastosować prostą arytmetykę.

Jeżdżę zwykle 5 dni w tygodniu. To daje jakieś 260 dni w roku. W rzeczywistości będzie tego więcej, bo czasem wpadnie jakiś wyjazd do lekarza, weta, urzędu.

Karta kosztuje 12100 zł na rok. Przy powyższym uproszczeniu, to daje jakieś 46,50 zł na jeden wyjazd.

Moi drodzy, za 46,50 zł to ja nawet do Ponieca nie pojadę (licząc powrót). Owszem, zdarzają mi się krótsze (tańsze) wyjazdy, ale z reguły jeżdżę "drożej". A że mieszkam na wiosce, to z reguły wchodzi Os + IC.

Pogoda w #Świnoujście dopisała, a więc kontynuowałem dziś eksplorację #bunkry baterii ciężkiej artylerii nadbrzeżnej Goeben w lasach między S3 a #Przytór

Umocnienia te nadal robią na mnie wrażenie w zestawieniu z innymi, późniejszymi konstrukcjami w okolicach

Tym razem bunkier elektrowni i wiata maskująca dla kolejki wąskotorowej

If this news does make you wonder if there might not be something interesting to catch on a short trip into Poland, the two prototype FPS Plus hybrid multiple units used by Lubusz Voivodeship are back from repairs. Try to catch them while they're hot, I guess? https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/obie-lubuskie-hybrydy-wrocily-do-ruchu--153852.html

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

On to Lower Silesia… After the central government struck revitalization of the line to Bogatynia from the Kolej Plus program, the voivodeship has been considering taking over the line and doing it on its own. Unlike other lines the Lower Silesian Rail and Road Service has brought back before, this one has an extra complication - it has traffic, traffic that cannot be suspended because it serves the all-important Turów lignite mine and power plant complex (ugh, yes, the very one we picked a dumb fight with Czechs over as if the environmental problems weren't terrible on their own): https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/remont-linii-do-bogatyni-bez-wstrzymania-ruchu-towarowego-153869.html

ŁKA, the Łódź Voivodeship's own train operator, was meaning to officially launch its new Pesa Elf III EMUs on the 3rd of August… and then they made a surprise "railfan alert" announcement that one was going to run a midday shift earlier.

Now, today's big news for travelers to and around the Upper Silesia-Zagłębie metropolitan area (that's the huge blob of mining and industrial cities around Katowice) - starting today, PKP Intercity tickets between a station in the GZM area and one outside of it include 120 minutes before departure or after arrival (in case of delay, have the conductor endorse your ticket) of tram/bus/trolleybus rides on all ZTM lines at no extra charge!

Additionally, holders of ZTM season tickets are now entitled to travel on all PKPIC trains, including the commercial EIC and EIP categories, within their ticket's validity area, without having to get a seat reservation, even on trains that otherwise require one.
A free reservation still has to be obtained before the journey to take a bike, otherwise a 20 PLN fee is charged on board. As conductors are not equipped with local smart card readers, people using one are required to carry a paper confirmation of ticket purchase. (This part is unlikely to be relevant to most people reading this, but do use this as proof such integration can be done after all!)

Eh, it's been a while, a bunch of things feels shitty, I should get some writing exercise, how about a newsdump for a distraction? Let's start with something a bit older…

Remember how the fees for keeping trains stopped on PLK tracks were going to skyrocket? (as mentioned in the Warmia-Masuria tender thread here: https://mastodon.com.pl/@HaTetsu/116726697403977789)
Well, PKP PLK walked that back after protests from train operators (who, among others, argued that they don't always even have control over which track their train gets told to stay on, so why should they have to pay for PLK staff decisions). It's apparently considered maybe reasonable to have higher fees for taking up main tracks, but not so much higher: https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/oplaty-za-postoj-pociagow-mialy-wzrosnac-o-1800-nie-wzrosna-153542.html

@DoomHammerNG Przy czym z uwagi na to, że konduktorzy nie mają czytników kart, posiadacze biletów na karcie muszą wozić ze sobą papierowe potwierdzenie zakupu.

Przewóz rowerów też jest możliwy, ale już wymaga rezerwacji miejsca, bezpłatnie przed wejściem do pociągu, lub 20 zł po wejściu.

W drugą zaś stronę każdy bilet jednorazowy PKP IC między stacją na terenie GZM-u a stacją poza nim zawiera możliwość jazdy wszystkimi liniami ZTM przez 2 godziny przed odjazdem lub po przyjeździe - podobnie do integracji wcześniej wprowadzonych w Warszawie, Trójmieście (na kolej miejską) i… Suwałkach

So, after a bit of microblogging properly, more Polentakt hype (in spite of all the more-or-less existential awfulness in the world). In the north, we've already mentioned the U08 change (see previous post) and a bit on the U30 (see post no. 9). Regarding the latter, the P07, the slower Tricity-Bydgoszcz-Poznań-Wrocław connection was previously routed via Gdańsk Port Lotniczy, Kartuzy, Kościerzyna and Czersk, bringing long-distance traffic with actual calling stations to the Pomeranian part of the Coal Trunk Line for the first time in many years. It is now being replaced by the now U30 on that segment, and directed again along the present route via Tczew and Laskowice. Running bihourly trains through the exapnse of forest has probably always been a pipe dream, and as I wrote before, even 4x4h may not happen in 9 years. The added stops in Olpuch and Karsin raise some hope of the new connection doing something to bring new holiday-makers to the locally-renowned Wdzydze area. The Kościerzyna-Czersk section is planned to have no regional service outside of a couple of peak trains, so this would be their lifeline.
Also interesting in Pomerania is the proposed service concept for the to-be-restored Kościerzyna/Lipusz-Bytów-Korzybie line - bihourly trains Kościerzyna-Korzybie-Słupsk, along with 2 pairs Chojnice-Bytów-Korzybie-Słupsk and… a 4h express line Malbork-Tczew-Gdańsk Gł.-Gdańsk Wrzeszcz-Gdańsk Strzyża-Gdańsk Port Lotniczy-Żukowo-Kościerzyna (direct bypassing Kartuzy)-Łubiana and then all-stops to Miastko - an east-west rally probably unknown before… and, sadly, unlikely to be competitive with buses for connecting Miastko and Bytów - it's a long detour compared to the road.

Wczoraj jechałem pociagiem. Przyjechał punktualnie, ale musiał “przełożyć kierownicę” do drugiej kabiny. Wystąpiły po drodze drobne problemy. Zanim ruszyliśmy, konduktorka poinformowała jeszcze, że okna w ruch, bo klima się zepsuła. Na część pasażerów padł blady strach. Po drodze zacięły się drzwi. Na całej długości pociągu. Nie dało się wysiąść. Później wyczułem po obsłudze pociągu, że coś jeszcze się zepsuło. Ale nie wiem, co. Wysiadłem na swojej stacji.

Dzień wcześniej na każdej stacji maszynista wysiadał z kabiny, szedł do skrzynki i coś tam przestawiał. Dopiero po tym ruszaliśmy.

Dzisiaj uczucie jakby pociąg “zgasł” zaraz po ruszeniu. Zobaczymy, co będzie dalej.

Polska kolej się modernizuje - świetnie. Ale chyba ktoś zawalił z wymianą taboru na czas, bo niektóre regionalne składy już od dawna proszą o kurs na cmentarzysko pociągów. A nadal muszą jeździć, bo nowych i sprawnych brak. Pociągu nie kupi się, jak roweru - wchodzisz do sklepu i wyjeżdzasz nowym. Więc chyba trochę jesteśmy w kropce.

In the north-west, news is primarily in the interior. One to watch is that the Choszczno-Kalisz Pomorski-Złocieniec route is now marked for reactivation. This is a somewhat lesser-known area full of forests, lakes and military bases, all of which have probably done something to keep this line from being dismantled. (Incidentally, Hinterpommern around here was the part of Germany with the worst timetables in 1939 out of those that would be given to Poland after WW2)

In long-distance traffic, we've already sort of known that Gdynia-Chojnice-Szczecinek-Szczecin is set to be one of the routes that PKPIC will expand onto with the power of ESD162. Splitting it with the Gdynia-Kostrzyn route to get a 2h Takt from Chojnice to Gdynia sounds like it would make a nice express offer as well, given that regional monthly passes are now accepted by PKPIC within the Pomeranian Voivodeship.

Also interesting is the rerouting of the P08, now U08, Szczecin-Wałcz-Piła-Bydgoszcz-Olsztyn route - dropped from 2h to 4h, it was redrawn to run via Laskowice Pomorskie and Grudziądz instead of Toruń. None of the lines running out from Grudziądz is electrified, and the industrial city of 85 thousand on the Vistula is Poland's second biggest in this position (behind worst-connected voivodeship capital Gorzów Wielkopolski). Serving it in the current reality involves a mix of services from Toruń, services connecting to intercity trains in Laskowice Pomorskie (hence the seemingly random calling point in the middle of nowhere) and direct services from Bydgoszcz running diesel under wire for about 50 km. An east-west axis connecting it and Wałcz to three voivodeship capitals and two other major junctions sounds like a major win for the new hybrid multiple units, one of the best showcases of their abilities out of the U lines, even.

In the north-west, news is primarily in the interior. One to watch is that the Choszczno-Kalisz Pomorski-Złocieniec route is now marked for reactivation. This is a somewhat lesser-known area full of forests, lakes and military bases, all of which have probably done something to keep this line from being dismantled. (Incidentally, Hinterpommern around here was the part of Germany with the worst timetables in 1939 out of those that would be given to Poland after WW2)

In long-distance traffic, we've already sort of known that Gdynia-Chojnice-Szczecinek-Szczecin is set to be one of the routes that PKPIC will expand onto with the power of ESD162. Splitting it with the Gdynia-Kostrzyn route to get a 2h Takt from Chojnice to Gdynia sounds like it would make a nice express offer as well, given that regional monthly passes are now accepted by PKPIC within the Pomeranian Voivodeship.

Jeszcze jedna fotka z wczorajszej jazdy, tym razem nie rozryty szuter, a wiadukt – część linii kolejowej 281 (Oleśnica – Chojnice), na przywracanym właśnie do życia odcinku Kcynia – Nakło nad Notecią. Może w przyszłym roku uda mi się tu złapać na zdjęciu pociąg, a może nawet się przejechać do Kcyni?

In Greater Poland, changes not yet mentioned are concentrated in the southern parts of the voivodeship. The Warsaw-Łódź-Wrocław slower P line gets a branch to Zielona Góra via Krotoszyn, Leszno and Głogów splitting off of every other train in Kalisz. The highly-contested town (you wouldn't believe how many fights have been fought over the proposed HSL routing through Kalisz) is getting HSR trains calling every hour, up from every other hour. Two alternating RE lines have been proposed for the Poznań arm of the high-speed Y - RE19 Poznań-Jarocin-Pleszew-Kalisz and RE20 Poznań-Pleszew-Ostrów Wielkopolski (found on the regional map as RE2 and RE1 respectively, totally not confusing). Indeed, all long-distance traffic is pulled from Środa Wielkopolska and ran over the HSL, including Szczecin-Poznań-Ostrów-Katowice-Kraków trains (now upgraded from P to Ex) and the P5 (Szczecin-)Poznań-Lublin, now rerouted via Jarocin, Sieradz, Łódź and Radom, among others. All this leaves a greater mix of speeds and stopping patterns between Poznań and Pleszew - hopefully worth it.

I also note the extension of the planned reactivation of the Leszno-Gostyń line one station further, to Piaski Wielkopolskie. I can't see any obvious reason for that, but perhaps a small agglomeration effect can be induced with this?

Z ciekawszych rzeczy w lipcowym wydaniu Z Biegiem Szyn:
- Kolej plus Łomża - kronika przywrócenia kolei do Łomży, która pokazuje, że nie jest takie znowu jasne, która strona sporu politycznego doprowadziła do tego
- Porozumienie na styku - niezły opis tego, co osiągnięto na granicy mazowieckiego i łódzkiego w czerwcowej korekcie
- Uciekające autobusy - o chorej sytuacji z nowo tworzonymi przez województwo mazowieckie regionalnymi liniami autobusowymi (na przykład jak nie rozpisali przetargu na czas i wygasła umowa, to tryb awaryjny zastosowali… tylko w dwóch z trzech regionów - region Przysuchy i Szydłowca zostawili z niczym)
- Lokomotywy, wagony i mąż swojej żony - wykorzystanie wagonów wyremontowanych z KPO na trasach komercyjnych i zagranicznych niezgodnie z założeniami projektu? No problem, dyrektorką od projektów kolejowych w CUPT jest żona dyrektora PKPIC ds. strategii, który odpowiada za wykonywanie projektów unijnych!
- Objazdowy problem z taborem spalinowym - zerwanie sieci za Opalenicą pokazało jak w soczewce nasze problemy z taborem spalinowym, gdzie pociągi do Berlina jeździły z objazdem przez Szczecin Dąbie (i tak, potem z powrotem na południe do Rzepina)
- Jeden z ostatnich takich dworców - PKP SA na razie nie będzie mogło wyburzyć dworca w Mikołowie, ponoć jednego z ostatnich jeszcze niezamienionych na nowe budynków z lat 90., bo wszczęto postępowanie o wpisanie na listę zabytków - miesiąc po tym, jak zaczęli się zabierać za zastąpienie i tego

In the Lubusz Voivodeship, aside from the aforementioned U17, the connection to Legnica via Przemków and the already announced move of the primary long-distance connection to Poznań onto the to-be-rebuilt-and-heavily-upgraded line via Międzychód, the new iteration brings another U line to serve as an early implementation of part of the proposed "Western Trunk" service - the 4h U33 Gorzów Wielkopolski-Zbąszynek-Zielona Góra-Wołów-Wrocław. The P24 Gdynia-Tczew-Piła-Gorzów-Kostrzyn service following the route of the Ostbahn-running Bory Tucholskie gets downgraded to a U line and 4h Takt, which is fair enough. Instead, regional services between Gorzów and Krzyż would be boosted to hourly.

The new plan includes also two reactivations not present in the 2024 version - the Gorzów-Myślibórz line would be rebuilt one station to "Gorzów Wielkopolski Strefa Ekonomiczna", which I assume corresponds to the old halt in the western suburb of Chróścik, and would provide a no doubt welcome, traffic jam-free alternative route to the many workers in the industrial and warehouse park. Perhaps an extension one stop further, to Baczyna, would make even more sense, but I guess land issues and likely poor prospects for partnership with the neighboring rural Lubiszyn Commune where that station would then be located might play a role in that decision also.

The other, bigger one is Rzepin-Sulęcin-Międzyrzecz. Sulęcin was previously marked as a "bus service county town", but is now supposed to get trains back after all. This line is extant, and operational between Międzyrzecz and Trzemeszno Lubuskie for the supply of the garrison in Wędrzyn. The new axis thus created is unlikely to account for much in the big picture at first - but maybe in a battery-powered future it could be a good route to bypass problems around Zbąszyń to some extent?

Additionally, two more lines were added to the list of what Lower Silesia intends to reactivate - Chocianów-Przemków-Niegosławice I already knew about, though the proposal that the Lubusz Voivodeship take over running it came as a surprise. Then there's Lwówek Śląski-Zebrzydowa. Which is currently mostly running as a freight line serving a mineral mine, so that makes sense.
What is interesting about this corner is that the authors explicitly cited the newly-conceived line U17 Jelenia Góra-Węgliniec-Zebrzydowa-Żagań-Żary-Zielona Góra-Kostrzyn-Szczecin (4h) as an example of optimizations made by using the Passenger Transport Model, which led to the route being drawn via Gryfów, Lubań and Węgliniec instead of the to-be-restored direct route via Lwówek. Which also added two direction changes but with multiple units that's not a problem at all (stares at Polish layover times with a direction change involved with a dubious expression).

A north-south line that doesn't turn east with the Oder is not a bad idea, I just wonder about the execution with this route.

In the south-west, a new 2h long-distance route P18 Wrocław-Kluczbork-Częstochowa(-Kielce-Radom-Lublin with every other train) will bring back qualified trains to Namysłów, and together with hourly KD regionals, provide a strong service between Wrocław and the town of 20k. These trains, and also the existing trains towards Łódź and Warsaw via Ostrów Wielkopolski and Kalisz have been rerouted via the new HSL, a very necessary measure to make room in the Wrocław node for local traffic (one of the greatest issues with Wrocław Główny today is that trains in the north-eastern direction have to first go west and make a run around town, sharing significant trackage with trains towards Poznań, Zielona Góra, Szczecin, Berlin, Węgliniec, Zgorzelec and Jelenia Góra).
Farther out, the Kłodzko line is seeing state-supported trains replaced with voivodeship ones with the Baltic Express rerouting (but as we've already noted, this is now significantly less likely to actually happen), while every other Warsaw-Opole train gets extended to Kłodzko via Nysa.

Wczorajszy wypad rowerowy przebiegał pod liniami kolejowymi.

Pierwsza fotka to przywracana częściowo do życia linia kolejowa 281 Oleśnica – Chojnice, AFAIK złapany na zdjęciu fragment tuż przed Więcborkiem na razie nie będzie uruchamiany.

Pozostałe trzy zdjęcia to elementy nieistniejącej już linii 240 Świecie nad Wisłą – Złotów:
- pierwsze z nich to wiadukt nad polną drogą z Wituni w stronę Nowego Dworu
- na drugim jest kolejowy most nad szosą Więcbork – Nowy Dwór, ale po przebudowie szosa idzie obok, w miejscu wyciętym w dawnym nasypie, a pod niepotrzebnym mostem stoi stół z ławkami otoczony potłuczonymi butelkami
- trzecie zrobiłem na polnej drodze między jeziorami Modla i Ostrowo, tuż za miejscowością Dwanaście Apostołów

Indeed, I think Łódź Voivodeship was one of the parts most affected by the changes to the project. In other things, connections north from Łódź were increased with a second 2h line P31 Kraków-Bydgoszcz joining and creating a pair with the previously proposed P11 Bielsko-Biała-Gdynia, and a formalized Flisak route U47 Łódź-Płock-Rypin-Grudziądz-Malbork-Gdynia with a 4h takt. Combined with hourly regionals to Kutno (increasing to half-hourly in peak), I think the single-track line should be able to handle it with the planned extra double-track sections.
The other remaining big change is the creation of "capacity reservations for possible connections of a regional character" on the high-speed line, running from Kalisz to Sieradz on the old line, then onto the HSL, through Łódź, and splitting off after Brzeziny and alternating between Skierniewice and Łowicz, two major towns on the border with the Mazovian voivodeship. Interestingly enough, the new map shows a new HSL station just for these "tentative" trains in Wodzierady (a village which, despite the impression created by the schematic map, is actually closer to Szadek than Zduńska Wola).

I'm sure the government thinks this is a good opportunity to win over some PiS voters, but they're not going to get the credit for putting it on a map… They ought to be praying they're in power by the time it's time for the ribbon-cutting.
