(Sleeping cars) wagony sypialne on overnight trains in Poland

Cześć wszystkim,

proste pytanie (po angielsku bo jestem zmęczony jak koń po westernie)

is there any option to travel on an overnight train in a cabin with your partner (of the opposite sex) - everything seems to be indicating a big fat 'NIE'.

Anyone out there found a way, or flouted one? what's the big deal anyway?

dzięki

It's not a problem if you have sole occupancy of the cabin, or if you travel by couchette. Done it many times, and it's not a problem at all. You just have to make sure that you don't (for instance) book two places in a 3-bed cabin. If you're buying online, you can just say that it's two men travelling - no-one will care if you have the aforementioned sole occupancy of the cabin.

Because of curiosity I've checked myself and I think it's possible: intercity.pl/en/

- Check "sleeper"
- find and choose connection
- Type of seat "sleeper"
- Compartment: double
Only problem is option "The male/female sex:" - it's impossible to choose "whole comp." and male or female must be selected. I don't think it's any problem.

It is possible on different days - it was probably just the train had no empty compartments left. I've just checked now and the "whole compartment" option is offered.

Best to go to the station and buy the tickets there in a situation like this.
