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

DB has now confirmed that they've deployed ETCS (balises, I guess) for automatic national system transition at the Frankfurt (Oder)-Rzepin border: https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/szybciej-pociagiem-przez-granice-we-frankfurcie-nad-odra-126089.html

The old Biebrza (a Warsaw-Gdynia via Czeremcha, Białystok, Ełk direct train, now split into two in Białystok) may be gone, but you can still find direct long way around ICs in Poland :P - here you can see the Lubomirski, 1044 km in just over 11 hrs from Kraków to Szczecin via Zawiercie (this detour due to engineering works), the Central Trunk Line, Warsaw and the Tricity

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

#WhatsMissing : :kb_kurswagen: a through carriage in :nightjet: 40469 - :pkpic: EC 59 #Galicja - :uz: Ш 52.
(Paris Est 19:12, Strasbourg 23:42 - Frankfurt(Main) Süd 03:14-03:19 - 08:26) Berlin Hbf 08:52, Frankfurt(Oder) 09:47-09:50, Rzepin 10:09-10:12, Krakow Glovni 16:02-16:19, Rzeszow 17:41-17:47 - Przemyśl 18:48 (- 20:32 Львів 01:21-01:43 - Київ Пас 8:44)
UZ has rolling stock eligible for this route and the timetable is actually perfect for this through carriage, there's a dining car at day time for food, enough time for the Schengen border checks in Przemyśl. Would be an amazing winner but I fear times for re-establishing through carriages on any line are over for a long time.
