happy sunday from a very snowy warszawa, fediverse!
since i have a spare day of Interrail and nothing else to do, i have planned myself a little trip around poland, which should hopefully include a trip on every EMU that pkpic operates.
we’re starting with an EIP down to Katowice ^^

ED250-007
my first time on an EIP service! :3 (@ EIC 5402 ➜ Katowice)
The very nosey snout of an ED250 EMU
This is unit number ED250-007
PKPIC still hangs paper signs in the doors of these trains, even though they have external displays!
A view of the first class wagon 1, in a 2+1 seat configuration. There are screens dotted throughout the car, the floor is carpeted and the interior looks comfortable.

even though these trains are specced for 250km/h, the 200km/h on the CMK line is the highest speed this train can reach with Polands current rail infrastructure. futureproofing, i suppose…

@mae best thing is that government was very eager to shoot the offer down because we had no lines for speeds over 160km/h, and that's what indeed happened when their tried to buy ETR470s in the 90s (not that we had money for this stuff)
