Ticket offices at the Central Station in Warsaw. At the ticket offices at railway stations started 16 bm. presale tickets for journeys by train Express InterCity Premium (Pendolino) that venturing into the route in mid-December. The online sales system did not work. , photo
– This is a fun bricks that all the time do not match – says the expert.
– System Failure sale Internet is another setback, and indicates that the project is long overdue, says the expert. The company is trying to make up so much of late elements that risks so much that it becomes reasonable to question whether the Pendolino leave on tracks 14 December – says Jakub Majewski.
Great design, great delay
It points out that it is a very large project that will consume, for the purchase of rolling stock and infrastructure maintenance and adjustment of almost 3 billion zł. Th type of investment requires the same tests several months, during which you should very well check if everything is buttoned up the last button – he said.
Pendolino: crumbled to the whole system. You can no longer buy tickets for any train
It is better to move the start of a few months, rather than risk
He added that if already on board will take passengers, it is no longer possible to experiment. Hence, points out that sometimes it is better to move the start of the month or half a year and then ask to buy tickets when we are sure that everything is ready.
Trains Pendolino had to ride between the cities every hour. They will go once a day
He says the expert, the time it takes a race against time, and although we already know that it will travel to Wroclaw Pendolino train one day, to Katowice two. – It is not this offer, which we have heard. It was said that it will be trains modern, fast and shuttles every hour between major cities. The train runs once a day, it is not an offer that will convince anyone to use rail instead of car – says the expert.
Tickets for the Pendolino only at the box office. “We implement new tools for legacy systems.”

As mentions, the new railways and new quality, is a rip so many elements – and dynamic ticketing system, good information and promotional campaign is done only when the check technique.
Polish Pendolino is not competitive with the car or plane
The expert points out that usually in the case of high-speed trains built separate tracks, because only them are able to to show their capabilities and achieve such speeds, thanks to the turn begins to compete with cars.
– If this is a 250-280 km per hour, the travel time is so radically shorter than the car that convinces people to leave the car front of the station. As in aviation – says the expert.
Poland is a country where the distance between the metropolises of about 300-400 km, approx. 2 hours drive fast train, and that means a competitive offer not only to the car but the plane counting travel time from and to the airport.
For Pendolino had created a special railway line “Y”
The expert emphasizes that the success of high-speed rail prejudge a separate infrastructure. – This allows you to securely, seamlessly, to achieve high speeds. I had the idea that it’s all in Poland rip in time. Thus, parallel to the imported 20 Pendolino trains had to be built high-speed lines, the so-called line “Y” between Warsaw, Poznan and Wroclaw, which constitute the skeleton had high-speed rail.
– It ended up that we rebuild classic railways, which should drive the classic compositions, they would be much cheaper, it would be many more – says the expert. Pendolino trains bought at the same time that a long time will not show its capabilities on our tracks – highlights Jakub Majewski.
Start at the worst time – in winter
In addition, the PKP Intercity introduces these trains when not everything is ready and is in addition to winter. As noted by the expert, the cold has not once shown that he can win the railwaymen.
Expert asked whether it will be safe when the same track will be raced Pendolino trains and normal replies that it should not be a problem. – Safety is a priority in Polish railways – he said.
Secure it means much slower
However, notes, security means to adjust the speed to the conditions. And gives an example: Pendolino not be driven 200 km per hour by agglomeration, since the same tracks run slower regional trains. – Stuffing movement of different trains on the same track is done to the detriment of the fastest trains – he said.
Pendolino train pushes aside regional
Another problem is pushing aside the traditional traffic between the cities. Pendolino is a priority. – This is the dilemma of whether Pendolino with 400 passengers should take precedence over the train, which travels 1.5 thousand. people to work. – Therefore, prepare timetable must be very precise and accurate – says the expert.
– It can not be that we are one month before the Pendolino do not know if go 9, 13 or 17 stores. Because you may find that many freight trains and passenger will have to wait for your turn and wasting time, losing its competitiveness – emphasizes the expert.
The expert also points out that Poland is doomed to the development of railways, the normal as and high-speed, because, contrary to popular belief, rail passengers he takes so much how and goods that it can not be replaced by cars and highways.
-Unia it already knows, because developing railways in Poland dominates opinion, it is enough to buy an old car from Germany, and can no longer commute to work. That will not work, because we all stand in a big traffic jam, as in the third world – says the expert.
Tripling the pool of free tickets – another error
Expert adds that it is a mistake to triple the pool of promotional tickets at 49 zloty, which has to be compensation to passengers for the inconvenience. This offer will weaken even more system – because the more people will want to buy these tickets – says the expert.
Recall, new ticket reservation system PKP Intercity, which introduced the sale of tickets for trains Pendolino, stayed a few hours after the start . I did not work so far.
In addition to the evening by PKP Intercity website you can no longer buy tickets for any train. The page is suspended.
