From Gdansk To Warsaw By Train

It should have been a five hour trip from Gdansk to Warsaw by train, with a change at Kutno.

It is not the most interesting of train rides, with this view being typical.

But things didn’t quite work out as planned.

The train to Kutno was about half-an-hour late and I missed my connection to Warsaw, despite our train manager saying that they’d hold the Warsaw train.

So you’d think it would just be a matter of getting on the next train.

But it wasn’t, as I needed to get a new ticket issued.

So this delay nearly meant I missed the next train as well.

I should have done what logic said and waited in Gdansk for a few more hours to get the direct train.

As it was I think that I got that train on the last leg anyway.

I also ended up in the wrong statiuon in Warsaw and had to get a metro train for three stops to my hotel.

But still it was an enjoyable trip as I discussed Poland and the UK, using Google translate on my attractive companion’s laptop. Sadly, her battery ran out and there wasn’t a power point.

Next time, I’ll book the direct train.
