Southern Poland April 2012 : Six days in Southern Poland photographing Trams & Trains in stunning weather. As ever, the relaxed attitude to depot visits & track access helps. The Polish people gave me a warm welcome & I cant wait to return. I would like thank Tomasz Galka & his superb web site Standard gauge locomotives in Poland, which I used as a reference for info on some of the photographs below.

Krakow Poland 08-10 April 2011 : My first visit to Poland. I had a superb time. The overhead system on the railway is 3000V DC. The locomotives & Units are plentiful, with a real mix of livery applied. I would recommend a visit to all with plenty of traction to be seen & a very friendly & relaxed attitude. My trip also included a visit to Auschwitz Birkenau and I include one image from that day as a memorial.

POLAND/GERMANY/HOLLAND: 28 Feb-07 March 1994 : Outward ferry crossing via Felixstowe to Zeebrugge for the first time, but no chance to take any Belgian photos; half a day spent around the Köln area, then a train to Poznan Glowny, Poland. Just three days there, based at Wolsztyn, where I am offered a room at the locomotive depot itself, in the former train crew accommodation block. It's been snowing, it's very overcast and gloomy, I've developed a hole in my boot, and the shoulder strap of my holdall has snapped, meaning I have to stand on one leg, keeping my bags out of the wet, write down numbers AND attempt to take photos - all with just the two hands. So after three nights, instead of heading for Warsaw as planned, I head back through Germany, and spend three days pottering around in Holland. Naturally, the high point is getting a room for three nights at Wolsztyn locomotive depot! Below is listed the eventual itinerary from Zeebrugge, as usual, all unplanned:- DAY 1 (Mon 28th February): Zeebrugge, Brugge, Köln Hbf, Düsseldorf Hbf, Hagen Hbf, Köln Hbf, Aachen Hbf, (Frankfurt am Oder).
