I don't often see a trip report that is longer than the trip itself ;) Interesting video!
we viewers very much appreciate your dedication and hard work in making such interesting travel videos which we so much enjoy watching :)
Very interesting situation there at the D/PL border. I remember a similar situation with trains from each country not connecting with eachother. I took a German local train from Worth to Lauterboug in France, only to see the SNCF disappear down the track back towards Strasbourg.
Görlitz was used as one of the main filming locations for the film "Grand Budapest Hotel"
Some scenes from Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" as well.
No, i to jest super extra. Brawo bravo 🎵💖🛤️🚅🛤️😃💓🎶🎶💐💐
Unfortunately, high German rates for access to railway infrastructure and fees for using German train units on the Polish section have led to the cessation of the direct connections between Dresden and Wrocław. The trains ran full, even in a double set. German private railway carriers who won the contract in this region are problematic, as they do not have the authorisation and trains to service in Poland. Not sure if Koleje Dolnoslaskie are planning to utilize their new hybrid trains for this service. If it's only until the next border station, they don't need testing in Germany, but deploying this train set for only a 2 km not electrified track is not wise. Nice film.
That was really nice to watch!
Love the additional info you provide!
Dziękuję za udostępnienie bardzo ładnego filmu. Pozdrowienia z Japonii.👍🌼🌷
Dziękuję za film! Pozdrawiam..
Cenię kolejarzy dolnośląskich, stwarzają dobrą atmosferę w pociągach, no i są fajni - miło i przyjemnie jeździć pociągami dolnośląskimi, przynajmniej na trasie Jelenia Góra do Görlitz i Wrocław - Görlitz 🎵🛤️🚅🛤️😃💓🎶💐💐
Well that's an interesting ride, thanks for the video.
Eine wunderschöne Aufnahme und tolle Züge

Interesting!
It used to be one city until 1945.
Yes, and the railway between Görlitz and Görlitz-Moys used to be electrified. However, that ended a mere 75 years ago
What is Moys?
@@doc7austin Eastern part of Görlitz, today Zgorzelec-Ujazd.
Btw, the track will be electrified, right now the bridge Blockhausstraße right behind the viadukt is being rebuilt so it is high enough for the cables and eletric trains pass through.
@@aswnl4428 Actually, the line from Görlitz to (then) Breslau was electrified, via Waldenburg. You can find a map of the situation in the german WP, article

Nice travel.
Kolejarze Przewozów Regionalnych także są fajnym zespołem i dadzą się lubić 🎵🛤️🚅🛤️😃💓🎶💐💐
I went all the time, last summer. I would just take the train to Zgorzelec and walk across the bridge. Lol
Seems like the railbuses between Strasbourg and Kehl are sharing the same situation that tickets are not sold across the border.
but can you travel for free in the Ortenau S-Bahn between Kehl and Strasbourg?
@@doc7austin I used to try that and it was okay but I'm not 100% sure for that. The Strasbourg tram line D is connecting to Kehl also, while a ticket is definitely required.
Is this operated by Polregio or Koleje Dolnośląskie? Most of the voivodes in Poland have their own mini-train systems whose tickets are not honoured by Polregio or PKP. However, Polregio and the voivode-based systems do sometimes borrow rolling stock from each other.
It is Polregio train. Tickets of both of operators are mutually honoured. Excluding some special-fare tickets. And most of regional operators in PL honours Polregio tickets..
Some "mini-train systems" tickets are honoured by polregio, for example all SKM Trójmiasto tickets are honoured by Polregio, PKM and obviously SKM Itself.
Zgorzelec - moja ulubiona stacja przesiadkowa skąd jadę z biletem Euro Nysa na Sachsen dojeżdżam tu z Ełk ❤😊🎵🛤️🚅🛤️😃💓🎶💐💐
Impressive video and in some cases timetables for the train put the German name in parenthesis Zielona Góra (Grünberg in Schlesien) provided Gorlitz Transport tariff Association uses German names for Polish cities here's a list of them from Wikipedia.

"Only cross-border train between Poland and Germany"? I don't think so! there I think 4 trains a day between Warsaw and Berlin via Poznan for a start - I've done the trip the other way three of four times, starting from both London and Amsterdam (of course with changes). Or did you mean the only light raial/commuter service?
My title says "the only free .."; all the trains you have listed are not free/complementary to use
@@doc7austin Oops....my mistake! Mistake - I missed the crucial word in the title! Not the best day yesterday.......
Free
Apreciez 👍
1:36 Te słupy to one postawione zostały pod planowaną elektryfikację reszty zgorzelskiego węzła kolejowego?
Nie musisz mieć osprzętu elektrycznego.✨😄👍
Good video, whats next? :-)
Are they finally electrifying the Zgorgelec Luban part?
5:20 train arrives- not a Saxon to be seen!
👍😉🐸💙💛🌻
Is the 9 euro ticket valid on trilex train ? Very good video
yes, eur 9 is generally valid on trilex

Hi - as long as you cross the border from Polish side - the river name is NYSA.
One could perhaps use its English name (the Neisse or the Lusatian Neisse) in an English-written text.
Odra and not Oder
Channel owner is from Germany therefore they are using the German name. On ARD/ZDF they have a strong tendency to use German name for Polish cities Wroclaw is said as Breslau Poznan Posen Szczecin Stettin.
What a bullshit. So as long as you are in Germany you have to say Elbe instead of Łaba and Muenchen not Monachium. (If you are Polish)
@@TheTertus ....and if you are German and in Poland you use the Polish name, right?
Sad to see this border which was once in the center of germany
Technically, the conductor is supposed to print a free ticket for you, if you're travelling between Zgorzelec and Görlitz. Did they bother doing that? :)
No
With the 65 VBB free to the Polish border, than a miniscule supplement to Stettin
that train is not running anymore
Why there is no electrification lines in Germany?
second world war
@@doc7austin Different electrification systems (AC in Germany and DC in Poland)
power lines were disassembled by the sowjets when nazi Germany lost the 2nd world war.
Formally you need to "buy" a 0 PLN ticket from the conductor ;-) ... formally ...
And Berlin to Szceczen ?????
the berlin-szczecin train is not FREE; moreover, that service had been suspended currently
@@doc7austin good to know...another good abd now necessary reason not to travel to gung- ho NATO Polska
@@doc7austin with the 9 €
eur 9 ticket is not valid to szczecin
