FIRST CLASS on 'The Rybak': Intercity train Szczecin to Gdansk
Vložit

- This was first class, so what could go wrong. In fairness, not much, although I didn't expect to get a compartment, which is my least-preferred type of carriage. You have to face strangers and fight for leg room for hours. Come along for a fun ride on 'The Rybak' from Szczecin to Gdansk. #polish railways

The windy fisherman
The PKP Class EP07-442 locomotive is a British English-Electric Vulcan Foundry built locomotive, based on the Class 83.
Having travelled 1st class from Warsaw to Krakow due to Ryan air diverting airports, I'd saw up grade was great. Free hot drink enroute.
Also half a train full of UK tourist, the bar ran out of booze two thirds through the ride! I do feel the 10 or so party of Welsh, Irish and Scottish I was with caused this much to the amusement of the Polish passengers.
When you put on the screen you were going to get some fresh air, I thought you were going back to the WC, lol. Certainly puts a lot of our trains to shame. Looking forward to the next film
I prefer Gdansk to another Polish city .
Sopot is very relaxing
I love trains with compartments. I face strangers yes, but I would usually start a conversation in the first ten minutes. And then these people are no longer strangers. I like to talk with people on buses, trains and planes. The time passes quicker this way. Occasionally there would be a passenger who has no desire to talk with me. But the clues are usually clear. I accept it.
Compartments are a dying breed - grab them when you can!
Oh dear, I hope your windy travelling companion wasn't too bad!
I had exactly the same experience. A very crowded compartment in first class. In the end I just went to the dining car for the remainder of the journey and had beer and pierogi.
The adventures never end. And I'm stuck on a 14 hour shift in Runcorn of all places. I need to rediscover the art of travel
Good job , love Poland !
"Farting to Gdansk" - sounds like a comedy worthy of a few West End performances. Cue the a/c.
Very impressed with the disabled area in the train.
Typical Scottish weather in Poland. You got a taste for the weather Scott!
Note that your train was hauled by a locomotive EP07 in historic livery, green with a yellow front. The standard painting of PKP Intercity is blue/gray.
I travelled Gdansk to Szczecin last year on another train (not the "Rybak") and the carriages were more modern feeling, i.e. no compartments, and I'm sure it took a lot less time....although it was delayed en route for around 25 minutes causing a mad scramble in Szczecin Station to make my connection!
There are few hills in most parts of Poland. Our country is flat like a table top, except the uplands and mountains in the south.
Great informative vlog. Thank you.
Nice to see you had one of PKPs retro liveried locomotives at the front of your train. The design of course, very similar to a now withdrawn type that used to be in the UK.
It’s a licensed version of i think is Class 86

Another excellent video Scott - thanks for posting. Very interesting to see all the different types of seating accommodation within the same train. I think if I encountered that particular passenger in my compartment, I'd have escaped straight away to the second class open carriage for fresh air! Cheers. Vivian
I am surprised there was no restaurant carriage there. Usually there is a restaurant carriage on long routes and they are labelled WARS. I was surprised by tasty and quality food served there and it didn't cost that much! Beer is also served there.
The 1st class filming facilities were in an odd place!! Fortunately they were too small to lose your head, Scott.😀
Travelled on compartmentalised trains in Poland, Warzaw to Krakow, in a Polish winter and by the time we had returned to Warzaw we were glad to get off it was so stuffy and uncomfortable.
I would've liked to hear the extent to the flatulence problem.lol. great vlog as always
Great video Scott
I'd have moved to another compartment or coach to escape the farting.
Something I've noticed about Poland... wherever you go, there's always a signpost to Lublin. Which either means Lublin is a popular destination, or the word has another meaning.
It is simply the end station, just like Świnoujście :)
(To be honest) Lublin is not an interesting city.
@@derektaylor2941 Lublin is small, without something `` amazing ''. Every Polish larger city offers the same as Lublin + a lot more. Example of Szczecin: Boulevards, Castle, Monumental waterfront, layout of roundabouts, squares as in Paris, access to the sea, the old town, almost 70% of the city is water and green. Currently, the water front is still under construction. Lublin has only one of all these things.
@@kajobecha Thanks for that - I knew there must have been a reason!
Famous for ‘The Lublin Poles’. They were used as a puppet Government by Stalin after WW2 as a way to take power from the Polish Government in Exile who were then based in London.
@@kajobecha Lublin has interesting Old Town rebuilt after the war in a way that mostly resembles the original urban layout, it has nice unique castle and very nice eastern style chapel. When it comes to architecture it is a very nice city. Majdanek Concentration Camp, Zamość and Kazimierz Dolny are also quite close from Lublin.
Nice one mate
wow the polish rail network sure caters for cyclists, cracking adventure Scott,
Flatulence? OMG! I hope the AC worked well! 🤣🤣🤣
Peron means Platform
Definitely looked like one occasion where second class beats first! Were there no refreshments on board? 5 hours is a long time without it!
There should be trolley running once or twice but no dining car.
5:46 - I think the other passenger may have been playing territory games rather than it being an actual medical issue!
Like the loco!
Back in 1962 Polish Railways had bought 20 or so EU06 (polish class number) locos bulit by English Electric complete with the licence to produce more of them in Poland. EU06 was based on British Rail Class 83. In later decades EU06 became the basis for newer classes of electric locos developed in polish works. EP07 seen in this video belongs to one of these classes.
I would have sat in second class to get away from the raspberry blower.
I was in a first class night compartment like that in Poland, starting at Szczecin. At the following stop (after midnight) 4 polish riot cops dressed as star-troopers decided to amuse themselves by sitting with me and trying to intimidate. It was about half an hour before they realised I was a foreigner. I annoyed the cops by taking a selfie with them. We all sat in the compartment for 3 hours when I wanted to sleep.
Oh bad news about the pole dropping one. What sort of person does that ? At least he didn't leave behind a Glasgow Lettuce. All polish men look as if they are soldiers to me, the women are significantly slimmer and prettier than British females, food is good, cities are dour with at least 1 fancy shopping mall and a big square.
Through West Prussia from Stettin to Danzig !
I traversed Poland from Swinoujscie (ferry from Ystad Sweden) to Krakow and further on to Przemysl in 2019 A TLK night-train with exactely the same 1:st class coaches on a 2:nd class ticket - without AC, 230V and Wi-Fi - loco and so on.
Nice vid showing the layout and difference between carriages 👍. I think u filmed n shamed 💨 so if he watches, u may get an apology.
Where do you get those great vibes from?
At 6.55, so thats what happened to all the network southeast stock. Lol
I dont get these compartments as well. Most travellers are solo or duo so it just doenst make sense to have so many of them.
Polish 'Matt Lucas' was trying to get you to move compartment.
A gdzie Koszalin, Słupsk, Lębork i Wejherowo?
Did you buy an inter rail ticket or is it best n cheaper to go on your own back
Can we guess why you went into the toilet? Based upon your compartment guests 'personal problem' Scott, was it for some fresh air by any chance? 😬
Meh, not impressive 1st class, no comp food and drink? Just Captain Farty? Just got back from Leeds to London 1st class there and back, LNER. So glad I paid the extra to avoid overcrowded standard carriages, the complimentary food and drink is the icing on the cake.👍
@Renata Murawska Do not take it as an insult Renata, of course different countries have different standards of "first class" trains. It was a flippant comment.
Not sure opening a window is the best solution for the farting man. Just move to another carriage!👃
You shouldn’t have to put up with the other chaps flatulent I too would of moved compartment
Allan BLANCHARD
Ha ye paid €10 for a lad to come in an shit himself. Never a dull moment. 2nd class would have been fine
Those 10£ extra didn't seem to be worth it 😅
It's pronounced Stettin
I see they have gone for
Early 2000s Ryanair horrible
Blue .
Must have got a discount lol 😁
I can't hear any evidence of flatulance. You want us to believe in something that might not have happened...
