I have just started viewing this series - it really gives a great feel for the journey with really interesting and straight talking commentary. Thanks - absolutely love it.
Your are not right - the construction project of Konin part in Poland is not 5 year long. It is actually 2 years. The trains wil not accelarate 2 minutes only but on the whole distance between Poznan and Warsaw they will reach to 30 min saving and target after the completion of the whole works will be 50 min. the project consists, among others, re-building of 15 bridges, 10 viaducts and 366 km of railway tracks etc. There is no corruption and "crime". Poland is not Russia. The whole project wil be finished in a about a year. The whole project is about 2bn PLN (465 mn EUR)
Zakres tej modernizacji jest zbyt duży i tym samym zbyt inwazyjny i destabilizujący ruch. Ta linia nie potrzebowała takich prac. Pchnięto tą modernizację żeby przepalić unijny szmal.
Another triumphant video! How the minutes fly past when watching your posts is amazing, but that is because your videos are so beautifully produced and I can't wait for part two. No doubt we are in for another instalment of your Winter Journey soon and that too is a joy to watch.. Thank you very much indeed.
Corruption at many public investitions was in the past decades, especially in the 90s and in the 2000s, in fact a big problem in Poland. But the number of such cases decreased in the past few years. And in the case of the modernisation of the Warsaw-Poznań main line the main problem was rather the catastrophal planning process than corruption. There was no clear strategy for the development of the rail system in contrast to the development of expressways. This line was modernised in the 90s, however many things were not touched. After the access to the EU there was the possibility of fundings and there the idea of the further modernisation was birth. But such projects has a clear time window and because of the slow planning process, very typical for PKP PLK, there was the risk that funds could be lost and should be returned, which seemed to be very embarrassing. Hence the time pressure there were many mistakes taken, which delayed the construction process. And to spend the remaining funds they changed sections that were in a pretty good condition. Meanwhile was an idea to build a HSR line from Warsaw to Poznań and Wrocław via Łódź and this project will finally start in the next decade. There were planned bankruptcies of some sub-suppliers, but this influence was pretty small than this whole planning mess.
@@doc7austin anyway communism and soviet Union had a destructive impact on people... uffff, but its gone already and fresh generations are going to rebuild evertyhing whats has been lost in during 49 years of russian military occupation
Thanks for making a playlist on this series. History lessons have come a full circle. The transib series is one half of history, this is the other half .
You seem to be quite mean towards Poles, what crime and corruption are you talking about? The train line modernisation project is still going on, but after 2 years the trains between Poznań and Warsaw are running through Konin as usual. The town's name is Kostrzyn, not Kosztryn.
I think that some corruption could take place in the construction of the railway in Poland, but that is not a serious problem. Bigger one is that PKP is totally ineffective and archaic structure with terrbile management. Assuming that every delay in construction is due to the "corruption and crime" is oversimplifying. You use some stereotypical cliche. Polish insfrastructural investments have more problems with bureauocracy than corruption. Which is weird when you compare it to the public transport in Polish cities that usually works preety well.
Stick Steves Actually our rail system is one of these things we did not menage to do well after 1989. One of the biggest declines in our country. There is nothing to be offended.
Unfortunately, that delay is about normal for international trains.. the trains from Bern or elsewhere in Switzerland are notoriously late, at least by my counting.

Me as a professional musician (harpist) love this music so much. Would you please be si kind and tell us, who is the composer of this wonderful dreamlike piece? Thank you so much!
I happened to travel with some delayed trains in Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway but even much more were on schedule . So i think the remark at 3:07 is unnecessary (see also 12:50) . By the way, the most severe delay was handled great by danisch railways DSB, they called me a taxi to the third from last station before my final destination and paid for the 60km taxi ride, so that i could reach my ferry on time.
A very interesting and well presented vid ; there is a lot of information about the route and the trains that are encountered . The train itself is very sleek , modern and well maintained . From what I saw it is capable of doing a good sprint .But unfortunately if what you say is right it is given stepmotherly treatment by the respective handling operators in the countries through which it travels .Wonder how long these sleeper trains can hold their own against the thrift airlines .Maybe I'll pack my own meal .

Hello A very interesting journey told. On the Polish railway tracks, repairs and renovations. The route of your train is also different. During the renovation of the E20 Poznań-Konin-Warsaw route, the entire railway route was closed. From June 9, along with the entry into force of the new timetable, trains from Poznań to Warsaw will again drive along the old route, instead of detours through Gniezno and Inowrocław. Thank you for a great trip around Europe. I am waiting for the next episodes. Greetings
While in Germany, does the train pass the "Fairytale" Castle-that castle that was an inspiration for Walt Disney's Cinderella Animated Movie.Or is the castle off route because of being located in another part of Germany?
"Crime and corruption always delay public projects in Poland" - you made me smile. Modernization which started in 2017 main goal was to increase capacity (cargo trains, local and fast use E20 line) not to increase the speed, the final goal is to set 200 km/h on the line between Poznan and Warsaw. Why there was a detour on that time? Because both tracks in both directions had to be closed because there was a necessity to improve hub stations on the line like Kutno and Lowicz + 200 road crossing had to he replaced. Moreover it's one of the busiesit railways in Poland and main route for cargo shipments from Belarus to Germany and further.
The USA had very good railway network until 1960s. But In 1950s it was decided to popularize automobiles. But about a month ago I saw a video on RUclips that high speed railway was started to build. Perhaps in future the US railways will be better.
I think that the reason why the interconnecting gangway doors are so heavy and hard to open is probably down to fire safety regulations to restrict the spread of fire. Best wishes and take care. Kind regards, Peter Skuce. St Albans. Hertfordshire.
Hello - quick questions: - how much time it takes to travel from Warsaw to Almaty - one way? - it is same train with same conditions : if no, where you need to change ? - how much the ticket(s) cost from Warsaw to Almaty - one way? - what are the expenses necessary for 2 people while in train (food, drinks, showers (if they have)) ? one way Thank you ! Very beautiful trip !

Very informative! You seem to be so well informed about trains and tracks. Are you in the railways or is this just a hobby? All the same, please keep up the good work!
come on man he's not informed et al besides the rail lines opening which can be found in the internet, he dont know anything about rail movements in Germany (he is surprised about nigh trains delays (ICE and local have priority in Germany), next corruption in Poland about Poznan-Warsaw line which is tottaly a lie (it's a big modernization project on E20 line), he complain about increasing delays (ppl which work in the industry know that delayed train have less priority that fast trains and can't simply be fast-forwarded), next Warsaw East is not second after Central Station, the biggest is Warsaw West, then East and Central is the last of big three.. anything else? It's just a travel freak, but without good knowledge and irrational complains:)
I love train journeys. The most popular journey here in South Africa is from Johannesburg to Cape Town, which is suppose to take 26 hours, but is almost always late. In Apr 2018 when I did this, it arrived 2 hrs late in Cape Town. Nonetheless, I still enjoy it. March 2020 I will be doing it again, but will take my car with me on the train, then i don't need to rent a car. There are some videos on RUclips on this journey.

@Thomas Samoht Show me your country corruption rate. To be honest 28 points between Poland and Denmark is not a big distance though.
Yeah, the problem with Polish Railways is more about incompetence and stagnation, the crime/corruption.

I think that the reason why the interconnecting gangway doors are so heavy and hard to open is probably down to fire safety regulations to restrict the spread of fire.
