From physics point of view, I guess everything is deterministic. But from a human point of view, the question is irrelevant, because we can only experience reality as humans.

Of course, the problem in Poland is bad planning and lack of tracks. Europe on avarage has only got about half of the tracks we had before ww2, due to extensive damage. Still I can see things improving, slowly.

The 2.5h one was in Pomorze, but Im from the south too, I think you were lucky. Go on a random big station on infopasazer.intercity.pl and its likely youll see at least one 1h+ delay (granted its low traffic on sunday midday)

Good luck in Poland, where an hour delay for a train is not a surprise. I recently had one delayed for over 2.5h and had to get a hotel due to missed connection. No point even bothering asking them for a refund.

Sure, but the rumor is believed by just enough people that you can get away with selecting 'Lord' in every single paper or electronic form that asks for a title.

I had an old Soviet-era made excavator digger standing on my property. It was standing out there long enough for trees to grow through the cabin and way above it. We cleared them and put a little grease here and there and it started like ch

I grew up in a historic EU city which is slowly selling out as well. I do not think there is a way to stop it. However, if handled correctly, the tickets could bring cash needed for public projects in the city.
