Betting on Ukrainians working in Germany,

Betting on Ukrainians working in Germany, PKP Intercity, Poland’s long distance train company, will launch a dedicated Przemyśl –Berlin train in coming months. The overnight train will travel about 1,400 km, stopping in Wroclaw. “Ukrainian routes have turned out to be a hit,” Intercity board chair Marek Chraniuk tells Poland’s Rynek Kolejowy, or Railway Market, news portal. Referring to Poland’s easternmost rail hub, he says: “Trains from Przemyśl to Lviv and Kyiv transport more and more passengers each year. For the first five months, we had as many passengers as last year, when the number of travelers doubled. Obviously, we will see another two-fold increase [this year] in the number of passengers from the east.”
