Reasons to be happy there are also Mazovia Railways passengers. Despite earlier announcements, passing the so-called line Skierniewice still be just as difficult as before. He says Dariusz Grajda of the board, for the time being will not increase the frequency of trains on this route. Modernization ended up on the tracks long-distance, but local lines are working all the time. This means that the apparent improvement will have to wait at least until mid-February.
With the new timetable also shows that the reduced frequency of local trains in some regions of the country. Fewer trains will be rode, for example, between the Steel Will and Rzeszów. Less will they be in Silesia between Gliwice and Katowice, and on the route from Katowice to Bielsko-Biala.

According to Jacek Kosinski, the driver, who drove Pendolino a few thousand miles, running much different from the traditional train, except for a few important details. At speeds above 200 km / h security system turns on a moving train, and he takes control of the machine. Jacek Kosinski adds that the driver does not feel the high speed. The cabin is soundproofed so that they do not come outside noise or the sound of the engine. Moreover, the driver sits very high, which means that the speed is also not “see”. Critics complain Pendolino that the train is tight in the middle, and the luggage space is limited. Gregory Malczewski, the conductor, who trained at Pendolino argues that such fears are unfounded and comfort will be higher than in the traditional connections. Points out that passengers usually go to the toilet or the bar car. In the case of Pendolino is a very short distance, so you can not talk about the danger of congestion. Moreover, it is also poss ible to recall the service to bring meals pleasant drink. According to the conductor, it will significantly increase comfort. PKP Intercity trains bought 20 Pendolino high-speed train. But tomorrow will go nine warehouses tracks that have already been tested. The cheapest ticket for the journey costs 49 dollars.

Criticism Pendolino
Modern, fast, but also tight and political. Pendolino train, which will take tomorrow first passengers, has long been under fire.
experts dealing with the railways allege that the purchase of warehouses was unjustified. According to Adrian Furgalskiego of Economic Advisers Panel TOR, Pendolino is too fast, for Polish railways. The expert notes that in 2016, when he completed all the modernization work on the main railway lines, high-speed trains will travel at a maximum speed of barely 40 percent of them, or at less than 400 kilometers.
means that the Pendolino has become a plaything in the hands of politicians at the expense of public money. A few weeks ago, the European Commission received the Polish part of the grant for high-speed train, agrumentując that national rail infrastructure is not adapted to the needs of high-speed train.
critic Pendolino project is also a journalist who specializes in rail, Charles Trammer. In his opinion, the speed of 20 0 km / h can also reach traditional stores, run by modern locomotives, which today has PKP Intercity. In his opinion, one can not speak of a revolution in comfort journey. I did not feel good at working air conditioning, comfortable seats, or light for the seat. Charles Trammer notes that similar solutions can be found even on the routes operated by TLK. What’s more, according to the expert, the train is much more narrow than similar machines plying in France or Germany.
