波鉄 (Hatetsu)<p>Got done reading a report titled "What Makes Poles Love Rail?" recently published by the makers of <a href="https://mastodon.com.pl/tags/Koleo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Koleo</span></a>, probably the best app for booking domestic rail journeys in Poland (disclaimer: not affiliated). It retreads some familiar ground using publicly-available UTK (railway regulator) data, but adds to it using their own sales data (without citing exact numbers, of course) and an online survey of 1000 people for which they partnered with the market research agency Minds &amp; Roses.</p><p>I will provide some interesting highlights in English here and you can find the original in Polish at (PDF download link on page): <a href="https://magazyn.koleo.pl/raport-koleo-2025/page" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">magazyn.koleo.pl/raport-koleo-</span><span class="invisible">2025/page</span></a></p><p>1/n</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.com.pl/tags/WhatMakesPolesLoveRail2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhatMakesPolesLoveRail2025</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.com.pl/tags/rail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rail</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.com.pl/tags/pkp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pkp</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.com.pl/tags/bahnbubble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bahnbubble</span></a></p>

rail 🦊ΘΔ<p>Not very widely known funfact: twice during the 90s TGV trains arrived in Poland.</p><p>The first time it happened in 1991 when the record-braking TGV Atlantique unit 325 (the one that ran 515 km/h) was brought to Warsaw for a HSR conference. It couldn't run on its own because of incompatible power mode.</p><p>Then in 1995, for the 150th anniversary of railways in Poland, courtesy of SNCF and Alstom PKP borrowed TGV Réseau 4522 (which was not in service yet).<br>Because it was multi-mode and supported 3kV DC, it ran a bunch of special rides between 12 and 19 June 1995, stopping in multiple cities and attracting a lot of interest.</p><p>The train was operated by the SNCF staff, with Polish crew present in the driver's cabin.</p><p><a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/trains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trains</span></a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/train" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>train</span></a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/railway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>railway</span></a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/railways" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>railways</span></a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>history</span></a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/poland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>poland</span></a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/tgv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tgv</span></a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/sncf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sncf</span></a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/pkp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pkp</span></a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/railinfodump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>railinfodump</span></a></p>

Radio emission brings trains to a halt in several places. Who's behind unclear. Executing this sabotage is technically simple (I explain), though requires proximity.
