PKP
Before I write what was with us a few words about the station.
Do not ride a lot of trains - is still in Poland or are already in Denmark. But sometimes it happens. And from what I remember it and there and here, usually the case, so that goes to the fund, where he says he wants to go and when - something you look, say, dopyta - I say, you printed note, I pay. Then, typically going on to the platform.
And now a few words, looked like our trip to Zabrze, to Dr. Thomas, Martin's doctor.
Day wczeniej checked the connection to Zabrze and back on the network. Two connecting flights: in Warsaw and Katowice. The back and forth. Priority: as short as possible when traveling. Karteluszku I had written on when we are in those cities, and when they are leaving the + sign of the train. What would a man know if there needs to hurry or not.
Time around eight in the morning - podchodzmy to cash in Torun main, and we say that we want to Zabrze today. And you to me, and when the train from Torun in Warsaw? I raised my eyebrows but I searched and karteluszka lady replied that the train will be in Warsaw and then when the next train is in Katowice. The next question to me: And what are the trains? Fast, InterCity? My eyes are rounded. Such questions are not expected. Lady to me, please find the information. We looked at each other with Martin behind and no podreptaliśmy to stop 'information'. Fortunately, some time for departure was. Poczekaliśmy a minute and it's our turn. We say, you say that we want to Zabrze now and we ask what is the types of trains. And you said, everything is on the Internet. Again we looked at Martin and I want to ask if I heard what I heard but the corner of my eye I noticed the monitor turned in my direction. It seems that I had myself a look at what types of trains. Oh, and important information - at the Toruń station are two monitors - one for you and one for the applicant. Search the same, which can be found on the Internet. So I looked, and I remembered back in the queue to the checkout. Time flies but still everything has already been held without a problem: I had all the information for you at the box office, dictated, and I got tickets.
Next on the platform to the train to Warsaw to Katowice, to Zabrze, a doctor at 15.30.
You have to go back. At the doctor zabawiliśmy longer than expected. From my karteluszka showed that the Katowice train leaves at 17.30. 17.23 is how we get to the station. For the cash box and I to you that I want to Torun now. Well but I did not have all the information you need to print a ticket ... well then gallop to the information. A lady to me that there is a train but it was only about 21.30 (it was probably something like that) from Katowice directly to Torun. And I to her, that from what I remember it is now too, with a change in Warsaw. Women looking for. And what he says and how you can cheaply and without connections. And I: ao which is the second train to Torun? You with me but looked strangely spojrzła and said (not in the monitor for petetnta Zabrze), around 5.00 that morning. I would add that it was a time when temperatures were negative, the snow outside. Zabrze Station is not the most beautiful. Katowice as well. Three hours at the station, not heated .. hmmm. 17.30 struck and desperate run for the money: we want to go now to Katowice and then through Warsaw to Torun. Martin ram me and whispers natarczywiei: order to Warsaw. Well, yes I did. This was the adoption by you, and wrote down tickets to Warsaw - apparently often frequented route, do not even need to ask what kind of trains run. Running on the platform but it was too late. Gloomy faces, because zniknęłarównież chance to catch a train to Warsaw. Shortly after going to the next train to Katowice and conductor are mercifully allowed us to board even though we had tickets for the regular train and it was the InterCity. Well but from Zabrze to Katowice is a one stop probably.
Katowice. Great Hall. After 18.00 and during the course after the departure of the train to Warsaw. Podreptaliśmy information - because you need to know exactly everything about the new route and change the ticket to Warsaw. I was furious. A queue of more than twenty people. We stand and face. We look to the mountains and there Bydgoszcz and some hours - oh, and as we just went to Bydgoszcz, one can ask. Finally our turn. Ms. dictates and I write on your scrap of paper, what and how. And finally, ask: to Bydgoszcz and not maybe some trains before? A lady in the information rested his chin with his fingers, raised an eyebrow and responded with the indulgence: to Bydgoszcz, how to Torun. Next! Well, we will continue in one of the great queuing. Before us to a young woman approached the man and says: The Matrix! Normally the matrix! In inforcji do not know if this train at 18.00 to Warsaw in late, or whether it goes on the platform or is already gone. We assume with Martin and now I asked pytatnie man and at that moment the announcer, the late train to Warsaw on the platform enters this and this. Running with a pair in front of us. Zdąrzyliśmy! Only through the train will be late but still. Ha, ha!
But, but. We had yet to buy a ticket from Warsaw to Torun. We are on the Warsaw Central. We have about twenty minutes. We are looking for spreads. There is this train, what we remembered from the web! Struggling. Finally, Martin somehow knew what and how. For the money. And there a closed, second, third, fourth, fifth, etc.. At any ksaie writes something along the lines, and due to a reduction of commission by the Railways InterCity and staff offices on strike, because of something they must live - or something in that pattern. And I! And I am @ # $ I wanted to go home! Finally, we found two open cash - ino that no one sat them ... but I came because what choice I had ... chrząknęłam loud szurnęłam bag and after a few minutes came back with the lady. Luckily enough information that I am on the train to Torun about this and that. Marszobieg the platform. The first night at home already.
And I ask the question - if there is no option to you at the box office had the opportunity to look at the search engine links? Information and order had to be. A travel time saved by the mass of nerves and not throwing between cash and information. I know that Poland is a special country, but#$!% it is possible in other countries. And the time that you have the information could be devoted to language learning. Because with all due respect for these ladies to meet, their sophistication is no indication that any were familiar.
Jarek is telling, to which we returned to Denmark, he answered: Absurd, but I am glad, because from time to time such a thing can survive. Such an absurd adventure. Rejoice, you do not have this every day to live.
And that's not jedny Polish absurdity. Right?
