A train from Poland to Croatia will go faster. “We are addicted to renovations”
Minister of Infrastructure Dariusz Klimczak on RMF24 shared the details about next year’s connection to Croatia. The train to Rijeka will be in the schedule again.
Trains from Warsaw towards Rijeka have already finished traveling for this year. The ministry, however, is certain that the holiday connection will also return the next summer. Dariusz Klimczak on RMF24 admitted that a direct connection to Croatia turned out to be a great success. Now the key goal is to shorten the duration of the journey, which is currently as much as nineteen hours. However, there may be renovations in the road, including those carried out behind the Polish border.
Rijeka trains will not go in autumn and winter
There is a longer break in rail connections from Warsaw to Rijeka. Direct trains, which from the end of June transported passengers on the route between Poland and Croatia, have already finished operations on this route. As Dariusz Klimczak said in an interview on RMF24, the connections turned out to be a “great success”. “For many years, passengers asked for this type of direct connection from Poland. In total, we transported 9,300 passengers, these are my last data a few weeks ago,” says the minister.
Shorter travel time next year
The ministry confirms that although autumn and winter means a break in running seasonal trains, in the summer you will be able to buy tickets to Rijeka. Importantly, for many passengers, PKP Intercity will try to make the ride a bit shorter. “Next year, the train will go to Croatia and, most importantly, will go in a shorter time. Now he was traveling nineteen hours, we would like to break a little from this journey,” says Klimczak and points out that problems may arise on the road to this goal. “We are addicted to renovations,” he adds.
During the inaugural season of transport, there were slip -ups. Klimczak said, among others About breaks in current supply, which occurred abroad and had an impact on high temperature in wagons. “We had a great problem, because at the final Rijeka station there was a problem with the current. We had to order special aggregates to cool the wagons before the next passengers came in,” explains the minister.
