Kraków's Glówny or Main station was opened in 2014 with the large and integrated station replacing a much smaller station some hundred or so metres south. During my visit, only three-quarters of the platforms were in use due to extensive track renewals taking place opposite the old station building. Even so, the station did feel rather underused with patronage being somewhat lower than one would have expected proportionate to its size. However, I suppose I am conditioned to the often chronic overcrowding on the UK network. EP09-004 sits stabled on the 'quiet' side of the station awaiting its next turn of duty.
