As I don't think I am able to subscribe the article so I wonder if they have any new fleet that will be introduced like double-decker coaches.....
I hope not! I only used one once but it was an excellent train.No more Pendolinos?
hope they will order EC250I hope not! I only used one once but it was an excellent train.
If you read the piece above, that's not listed. More locomotives, though. Which is nice.hope they will order EC250
This could either be getting trains out of depots, or more likely they both arrive somewhere big at rush hour in time to shift lots of commuters to work or studyReally hope they work on fixed interval timetables. Some of their current inter-city ones are shocking. Stuff where there are trains at 5.50 and 6.10, and then there's a massive gap until 10.30 until the next. This continues throughout the rest of the day. What purpose does that serve passengers?

What services and where is the demand for more services shown? The travelling culture isn't exactly the same as Manchester-Euston...The former could be the case (but indicates poor distribution of rolling stock), but certainly not the latter. The trains I am talking about arrive in their major city destination well after 9am.
The train categories are also important as there is a wider affordability demographic than the UK, so you might need a TLK/IC for poorer people and an EIP (Pendolino) for richer people at a similar time. Quite different from the UK where there are mostly just "trains", albeit with the odd bit of it being cheaper by using a local train for a non-local journey plus a few quirks.

Take Warsaw to Poznan
I've never quite understood the purpose of TLK in its format today
But the railways in Poland have never really been about passengers. Even companies such as Koleje Dolnośląskie have some truly absurd timetables with some large breaks in the middle of rush hour.
