A member of the #PKPIC board of directors revealed that as many as 8 companies have submitted requests to participate in the HSR train tender proceedings launched in December. Additionally, the deadline for request submissions has been moved forward by a month, so it will take a while longer until we learn who they are and what the offers will be: https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/pkp-intercity-osmiu-chetnych-na-dostawe-taboru-kdp-152

In a response to a Diet/Sejm member's formal question, the Ministry of Infrastructure has revealed they are planning to extend the Stańczyk IC train from Gdynia-Olsztyn to Szczecin-Pisz in the 2026/7 timetable. This will bring back a long-distance connection to Pisz in the lake-filled Mazuria region after a one year absence (due to formerly diverted trains returning to running via Giżycko): https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/warminskomazurskie-kolej-dalekobiezna-powroci-do-pisza--144390.html

Poland's ED250 Pendolino units are making 250 km/h trial runs on the Central Trunk Line during nighttime possessions ahead of the deployment of GSM-R (the symbolic last lousy mast is coming up: https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/final-budowy-systemu-gsmr-na-centralnej-magistrali-kolejowej-142276.html) and ETCS L2 that will finally allow them to attain that speed in regular service: https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/pendolino-znow-jezdzi-250-kmh-na-razie-tylko-na-nocnych-testach-147795.html

Another drop of Rynek Kolejowy news, coming right up…
First, the ex-DB first class IC cars snapped up by SKPL and rented from them by PKP IC are supposedly running now, starting with the Kyiv Express (uncoupled in Dorohusk) and the Marszałek Piłsudski to Kraków. They can be distinguished by their unique white-gray livery with a prominent owner logo and dour upholstery inside: https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/pkp-intercity-wagony-1-klasy-od-skpl-juz-w-ruchu-zdjecia-152540.html

Unsurprisingly, given the response the prototype drew at last year's Trako fair, the start of deliveries of brand-new carriages for #PKPIC is being delayed - FPS "would like it to be" Q2 2027. FPS's CEO then proceeds to blame the previous leadership for showing off a 2nd class carriage, rather than a 1st class one, which is a laughable excuse, especially considering the negligible differences (pretty much legroom and wireless charging pads) between the two in their existing compartment output (not to mention, most people travel second, so that was indeed what we were interested in more): https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/nowe-wagony-z-fps-h-cegielski-nie-trafia-do-pkp-intercity-w-tym-roku-126721.html

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

#PKPIC carriage kisses #KD Elf II in Wrocław Główny while shunting:
https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/wroclaw-glowny-wagon-intercity-pocalowal-elfa-kolei-dolnoslaskich-126109.htmlMerry Christmas and may love bloom on the rails, I guess!

All this talk of connection times at @jon's feed has reminded me of a bullshit thing in #PKPIC's domestic conditions of carriage. Namely, they contain a blanket provision stripping you of passenger rights across any connection shorter than 10 mins scheduled. Which would be less crazy if not for the fact that PKP PLK considers a connection requested by a carrier (you can see those when browsing Portal Pasażera, the "receiving" train will have a clickable S in a square by the station in question) satisfied at a minimum of 5 minutes. So after any timetable change (and remember, 5 of those a year here) you may suddenly find yourself unable to buy a through ticket for a particular set of trains for no apparent reason.
Yes, this is the sort of bullshit that makes people here rather less receptive to arguments that maximizing one-seat rides is not a good thing

So, as I imagine is becoming a regular #RailwayNewYear activity for me, I am Takt hunting. Which is to say, I'm trawling #PLK timetables to see how well #PKPIC's boasts of the increasing number of Takt relations are reflected in the actual timings (having realized that expanding to something similar to https://mastodon.com.pl/@HaTetsu/115142221091238924 would be rather too time-consuming right now). The south is currently rather disrupted by the twin worksites at Katowice station and Kraków-Kozłów, but getting into the 200s, we have our first result!
The (Białystok-)Warsaw-Łódź-Wrocław relation, also known as line P15 in the 2035 network draft, is now almost fully 2h Takt until Ostrów Wielkopolski! (EDIT: In the other direction, there's equal spacing from Wrocław until the 3pm train, at which point things get somewhat messed up and only get evened out around Sieradz) Getting equal spacing on the Ostrów-Wrocław leg has proven beyond PLK's ability at this time, which is understandable - a single-track section, further encumbered due to an ongoing closure on its twin running via Międzybórz Sycowski and, of course, the Gordian knot of the three-track western approach to Wrocław Główny where traffic from seven directions has to fit all work against the planners.1/x
