Thanks for the video. I'm glad you're enjoying your trip to Poland, and Łódź. I saw your next video about the city itself and I wonder what you'd say if you took this train to the next station, Łódź Fabryczna. That one's already after a full renovation and it's in an area called the new city center of Łódź, so it's a bit more fancy than some parts you had to go through. On the other hand this gave you a more honest representation of the city. There's a lot of places that look really cool, but also still lots of work to be done.

Great to watch this, Polish people look always at bad side of our country, don't recognise it good sides. We are worlds champions in complaining. I hoop author will come more time to Poland everyone are welcome here. Thanks for this video.

Gdańsk is probably 2nd most beautiful city in Poland and located by the Baltic Sea. Wrocław is also worth visiting. And finally, Warsaw. It is the capitol after all and will allow you to visit many memorials to heroic Poles who fought for centuries for Poland's freedom. Once you realize that the city was completely leveled during WW2 by the Germans and rebuilt using pictures and paintings it will leave you in awe. This is of course a top 5 I personally would recommend, with probably Kraków and Gdańsk being top 2 recommendations. Enjoy your stay in Poland.

●A suggestion to the people of Poland. I am a Korean writer. The beginning of China's rapid development was due to Korea's technology transfer. Japan was reluctant, but Korea accepted China's wish. South Korea wanted peace with its neighbors, and South Korea wanted China to step up and help the two Koreas unify. Now, if Poland cooperates closely with korea, it will be able to develop its economy faster than China. If you wish desperately, you can achieve your wish. I hope the Polish people will cooperate more actively with Korea. Just as China has developed rapidly, Poland can take the lead in developing Europe if it cooperates with Korea. First of all, give Korea a lot of preferential treatment. Koreans are full of emotions. And Korean people have cherished their credit in history. Korea has lived with 5,000 years of historical tradition. Before the Industrial Revolution, there is a record of Western missionaries visiting Korea and praising the morality of Koreans. I hope Poland will work closely with South Korea and seize the opportunity for a great revival. 2023.05.28. "Can the last place become a wise man?" an author. From Oh Jae-sun

The keyword to everything in Poland is: newer. Poland had to rebuild twice, first after world war 2 and then for the second time after the collapse of communist system. Both events left the country in enough of disrepair that entire systems had to be rethought and remade from scratch, cause they were not functional anymore. Infrastructure is one example. This includes both transportation and telecommunication - e.g. the Internet is way cheaper yet also way more reliable and faster than in the US. The electronic banking system is second to nothing in the world both in terms of security and convenience. Economic and military upheavals are as much of an opportunity as they are tragedy.

It improved in quality, but heavily shrinked in coverage. At the times you are mentioning, the trains - despite being as bad as you described - reached many small towns and villages. It's not the case anymore. From 1991 to 2017 over 3700 km of Polish rail network have been put out of use - with some of them irreversibly physically destroyed, some still existing, but being in so poor condition that a train can't run there without the track being rebuilt (but nobody intends to rebuild them; only main lines are rebuilt). Todays school boy from a small town would not be able to travel to and from school by train, as it was possible at those times...

Good luck man and all the best.

Better than the US? EASILY. Not hard to beat. Better than the UK? Not really, but defo at similar levels.

I live just outside of London, apparently in one of the wealthiest counties in UK (Surrey). It happened I have a car and drive it occasionally. Thanks to the road infrastructure over here I do not spend that much on traveling. No need to go far, I have first hand experience of how it is driving in third world countries ;) I am also road cyclist, remember prising local roads for their quality comparing to what was in Poland 15-20 years ago. Now, the situation changed almost by 180 degrees. Trains, yep bloody expensive. Thanks god I do not have to do that anymore, used to commute to London for years. These days, monthly cost for travelcard from my place (I can see Shard and City from my flat) 27min by fast train (you pay the same no matter what train you are on, fast one or stopping service) is close to £500, ridiculous!!!

The train you took is made in italy, its called "pendolino".

The train he used while going from Warsaw to Łódź was not Pendolino, it was Pesa Dart.

I remember polish trains 20 years ago. Never on time, old, many was still from communists period, always dirty and smelly. We made an amazing progress from there to this day. BTW I'm 28 yo, so I'm not old guy.

We made progress in quality, yes, but we made a huge step backwards in range and reach of the rail network. Those old, bad trains reached many small towns and villages where there's no train access anymore now.

Of course in better because is new.

There’s a new trend growing now in Poland, transportation wise. My town of 45.000 four years ago was one of the first in Poland where the transportation all around the town is not only, modern, very clean and punctual - it has been totally free for over 4 yrs now!

U need to tell me Man when you. Will be in poland i Can take you on a cruise tour on poland ;D i lived in England for 18 year’s and many other countries

Yes, the Polish trains are quite good if you want to travel only between main cities. However, there is a problem if you want to go to smaller ones. Many destinations cannot be reached by train, and many other places have only a few trains (or even one) per day. I am writing this because we used to have much more extensive rail network back in the days. Of course the trains weren't remotely as comfortable as the modern ones, and were often overcrowded by people (much less people owned cars back then, so a train was a nearly only possible way of travel), but they reached much more places than today. A large part of the Polish rail network was destroyed in process of political transformation of 90's, during change from socialism to capitalism. If you were amazed by Polish rail, then I'm very interested what your reaction would be if you experienced German or Czech train network... These are two neighbouring countries that have much better rail infrastructure than we do.
