EP07-1014 brings the 05.15 Lublin to Wroclaw into Kraków Glówny station at some speed. During a dwell time of about fifteen minutes, the locomotive to the right will come on to the back of the train for it to continue its journey to the Polish capital Wroclaw. Looking at a map, this, and a number of other trains on the PKP network, takes some very strange routes. Lublin is a city some distance northeast of Kraków and a relatively short direct distance from Wroclaw. Once it leaves Kraków it will head almost due north some distance to its destination. Never mind though, the joy of travelling in a comfortable compartment on a genuine carriage being hauled by a proper locomotive would trump the circuitous route for me any day!
