Not every line is sacred. If you do not have both passengers and goods to transport, the route must be eliminated – says the chairman of PKP SA.
Three companies of PKP Group – Power Station, TK Telekom and PKP – were to be privatized by the end of the year. At the end of September is still not no buyer.
– Sale of a very complicated process and requires some internal decisions within the group, before any final privatization. Slowly prepare for the PKP Energetyka and TK Telekom – says in Money.pl James Karnowski, CEO of PKP SA. – If there is a good offer, it does not do anything by force. Privatization occurs if we think it’s good for the company and the whole railway system in Poland.

The number one goal – as stated Karnowski – is at the moment the privatization of PKP Intercity. President hopes that the situation in this regard could gain momentum when, in December Pendolino enters the track.
– Pendolino is a shorthand symbol changes in the Polish railways. The largest investments are happening this year and they are there to this modern and fast trains had nowhere to ride . Trains drifting on the track it will be upgraded icing on the cake – says in Money.pl James Karnowski.
– For the new trains arrive well as other things, such as dynamic ticketing system, which will be similar to that for what we are accustomed to in the aviation market. If you will purchase a ticket 30 days in advance, the price will be significantly lower.

Head of PKP SA is also responsible for the allegations that are Pendolino too modern, like the ability to Polish traction. – These trains are for 30 years. And if you are even slightly for modern in relation to infrastructure, we assume that everything will become better and better, especially when we have a huge investment in – explains Karnowski.
– Germany did likewise in the 70 – buy rolling stock which was too good for their infrastructure. From time to one another przystawało.
Karnowski points out that this year will be a record when it comes to spending on Polish railways. And thus, the worst for passengers. – We spend more than 7 billion on it to modernize infrastructure neglected for years – says in Money.pl.
– However, when renovating the railway line, the trains have to travel slower route, or – as the route of Warsaw to Bialystok – do not drive at all. Only then can go in there and work the workers. On the other hand, you can easily make a detour, as it is on the highways.
President of PKP also announced in the near future a number of moves to improve the financial situation of the company, although it may be unpopular. Not only for passengers.
– Not every line is sacred. If you do not have both passengers and goods to transport, the route must be eliminated. Not everyone has the economic sense – says Karnowski in Money.pl.
