1: 38 You can move from this railway station (Warszawa Centralna) to the suburban zone using underpasses only, but if you want to use the subway you should go there by tram, bus or on your foot, but remember that there's no underground connection between railway station and subway so you must go outside for a moment. Construction plans (for the underground connection between subway and railway stations) were available over 50 years ago, but something went wrong and Warsaw still hasn't got that, but it would be probably built in next 2/4 years during the big Warsaw railway renovation.

Ok so for polish railroad enthusiasts people: The First class coach downgraded to second class is a Z1 type coach. I thought all of these first class car types were taken out of service for different reasons, rusting or awaiting refurbishment? in Warsaw. But I see this video from 2019 and I see it is not true. Are those cars still widely in service or was this a lonely surviving car or a supplement brought to this train?

First class was not that used so there is oversupply of 1st class stock in running condition and no point in reaping 2nd class stock. Please ride in overcrouded TLK (Tanie linie kolejowe - cheap railway lines) this is IC brand. You will hop on late 70-ties, mid 80-ties stock only slightly refurbished and repainted with standing place because it was sooo overcrowded.

The occasionally rude staff is a typical remnant of old communist time era and applies to all Eastern European countries. I remeber how it was back then 10 years ago- most conductors were quite rude and didn-t speak any English nowadays it is more like up to 30% or even less, cso I can see the genuine progress in Poland as a Pole myslef.

Not surprised the train guard wasn-t friendly. I love Poland, it-s a great country and the trains are good too but the people who work in customer facing jobs (just some not all, but more then other countries) can be a bit off. Same with hungary too. Both great countries don-t get me wrong.

Great video. I find it puzzling why Poles are not proud of their trains. They are inexpensive, clean and comfortable, and they could give many rail companies outside the country a run for their money. I am surprised that PKP Intercity is not having a go at some of the franchises elsewhere.

Warszawa Centralna is awesome. I never used it to go anywhere by train since I come to city by plane and bus from chopin, but I always use it to cut crossing streets and dodge bad weather upstairs lol. walk from one end of a platform to another and you crossed half of the central town XD

Here, in Poland, we downgrade our 1st class cars very often. That's simply because we've too many of it and people here really prefer to travel as cheap as possible. So you see - your train had only 1 1st class which still had a few empty seats and about 8 crowded 2nd ones.

1st-class cars running as 2nd class are quite common. Simply put, they don't have enough 2nd-class cars, so sometimes they replace them with 1st-class cars with a sticker like you can see here. These are usually older 1st-class cars, but here you got a modern one.

The trains with the old manual opening doors offered more culture. I can understand the automatic button, as there were times the manual opener was difficult, especially for elderly.
I still say go back to manual door opening, lol. Much more class.

6: 11 I don't think a train conductor could said anything what could be unkind. She could only be slightly annoyed by the fact that you are not using the service you paid for and allowing some -illegal sitting-. LOL

A pity that this train had no restaurant car, so you couldn't have tried it. Hope you did on other rides in Poland, as the Polish WARS restaurant cars are literally the best in Europe and probably wider.

The train conductor couldn't care less why you're not at your sit unless you complain. And this is good. Don't look for problems. Look for solutions.

6: 45 I have done a little bit of research, and this train always has two first class carriages which run as second class. I do not know why!

the downgrade was because this is an old refurbished coach with no air condition. I prefer them most, one is able to open the window.
