@dzwiedziu@mastodon.social and lets not forget we WANT TO get proper high-speed rail
CPK includes a plan of building 300km/h-capable lines with 25kV AC electrification
Rail Baltica is supposed to be 270km/h with 25kV AC electrification and connect with the Polish network
Polish government still(?) negotiates a possibility of purchasing Talgo, the Spanigh high-speed rolling stock manufacturer. Talgo refused offers from Hungarian Ganz-Mavag and Czech Skoda. Poland purchasing it seems to be really an option.
PKP PLK and the Spanish railroads administrator signed an intention letter for cooperation and exchange of technical expertise
It *is* happening

@dzwiedziu@mastodon.social also it's worth noting that we have a really decent offer of direct international connections from Poland from Warsaw you can take a direct train for rtelatively cheap to Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and Kyiv With a single change at the border you can go to Vilnius and Lviv too from Southern Poland you can even go as far into Austria as to Graz and with a single change end up in Zürich that is really nice
