Is it safe to take a train in Poland?

I'm an American grandmother and I rode trains in Poland this past summer by myself, day trains only, and 2nd class only -- and never encountered anything but thoughtful, courteous, and helpful Polish people.

And about the above comment where Polish train toilet flush, it's the same place as the rest of the world!

I rode a wonderful train from Warsaw to Wloszczowa last May. Fast, clean, great beverage service (expensive, ouch) and employing cute, humorous conductors. What does also anybody need?

Lori I am glad to read your message. I hope people will help me get my case on and off the trains, which I find difficult at times.

UK trains flush turds onto the track, too. I left one near London Victoria on Friday night. LOL.

I came to Poland last summer as a volunteer to teach in English summer camps. I had a lot of teaching materials with me, so I had two 21 inch bags. I was concerned when I got to my first train about how I would manage with the 1 minute stopping time in that station. I got to the track (peron) quite early and sat on a bench with a woman. Another woman came along and asked to join us. I said, Proźe. When it came close to the time for the train to arrive I moved over near the track with my two bags so I would be as ready as possible. I was amazed with the first woman came over to help me board. I'm convinced it was because I was polite to the woman who asked to join. When I got to my destination, I was getting off with two bags, and a young man came quickly to help me.

During the time I traveled for pleasure I had only one bag. When I got to Torun a man got totally off the train in order to help me with my bag and then reboarded to continue his trip with his family. When I returned to Warsaw Centralna I still had only one bag, but was faced with a long up escalator not running. A maintenance man quickly came to help me. All the kindness was greatly appreciated and each came yet, too, as a great surprise.
