Travel / Polish trains often get frozen and are overcrowded? :-) [35]
There is one thing about Polish railways: They do not go on strike.
In 2005, we flew to Liverpool, and the hotel was in Southport because all Liverpool hotels had been already full due to horse races held in the city. My plan was to take a train from a location close to John Lennon Airport directly to Southport. Unluckily, "industrial action" was in force, meaning a lot of trouble to us getting to the hotel.
In all fairness, trains in Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands and in Scandinavia are perfect, and in Poland they are not that good...
I've found that trains in Poland are ALWAYS late. Never to be seen in any other European country. Why is that?
