European Railroad Discussion > Overnight train, Lviv to KrakówDate: 10/06/21 15:53 Overnight train, Lviv to Kraków Author: gobbl3gook 1) Boarded at 11:59 pm.
2) bicycle tucked on the top bunk. I was on the middle bunk. A woman going to an intermediate stop in Poland on the lower bunk. 3) I always had kafir. And tea. I thought the new bike seat (bought the previous week in Slovakia) looked pretty good in this scene. october 2016. Date: 10/06/21 15:56 Re: Overnight train, Lviv to Kraków Author: gobbl3gook 4) always take a photo of the train schedule!
5) detraining in Kraków. We were (I think) the last car on a Przymsel => __? intercity train. The lettering YKPAIHA" is "Ukraine" or "Ukraina" in Cyrillic. Edited 2 time(s).

the park with the children's railway was a grand park, with lots of pretty monumental buildings. In original condition! And reasonably well-maintained. questions, comments, observations? ted in OR Date: 10/06/21 19:08 Re: Overnight train, Lviv to Kraków Author: krm152 Great scenes inside Eastern Europe; definitely a different world.
ALLEN Date: 10/06/21 19:36 Re: Overnight train, Lviv to Kraków Author: Train29 I've not seen that paint scheme on Ukrainian sleepers. Normally they are all blue with thin yellow stripes. I've not done that route but have done Warsaw to Kyiv. A great overnight experience complete with a trip through the boggie works and a very friendly Ukrainian border guard who upon giving my passport back to me said: "Welcome back to Ukraine." Much appreciated and much more than is typically offered by U.S. Border Protection when returning to my own country. And yes, Eastern Europe is still a completely different world than the western countries. And in some ways a better one.
