Travel / wloszczowa station [4]
There are a few videos on Youtube about wloszczowa station, but I cannot work out why. Here is one:
Why does it say Krakow Business Park on this one, and why in English?
When I watched this one below, I could just about make out that she was saying it was a very expensive station, but nobody was using it, is that that what she says and is that why it is famous?
Googling found this:
"Recently Wloszczowa has been the lucky recipient of a new train station. This station acts as the only stop in the Krakow-Warsaw express, the most popular train route in Poland. Of all towns in Poland, it was the tiny insignificant ‘shlepper’ town of Wloszczowa to be endowed with such a useless stop. No one leaves the train on this stop, and the express ride itself is too expensive for any Wloszczowians to use. To tell a Pole you are from Wloszczowa is now the punchline of a joke."

Hello to szkotja and to UK Polska.
What a pity so few people visited this thread after I spent hours uploading those videos then pasting all the links on here one by one (I don't know any shortcuts.)
I might indeed go to Lublin to visit a lady friend there. But if you want to "catch up" you can always email me.
