Travel plans, routes and timetables / Re: Budapest-Warsaw-Vilnius dilemma
« on: January 23, 2013, 01:11:42 pm »
I promised so here it is.

The part from Budapest to Warsaw was decent.29 euros, you get into a second class seat.there are 6 seats in the car, sometimes people only go as far as Bratislava so it was empty half the time, you can just stretch and sleep it off.Would recommend this way of travelling in groups of 4-6, because it's easy to pass the time like that :)

the problem was that the train was one hour late.Snow problems or something, but we couldn't make it in time for the Warsaw-trazinski train..We had to go to the Warsaw bus station at Zachodnia and buy a ticket to Augustov from there, then we were picked up and i drove the rest by car.It was a cheaper way to the border for me than the train though, because i got a student discount and had to pay only 31 zloty instead of 55 to Trazinski.All in all, it was a hard trip, and i would only recommend travelling in my particular way on warmer days, when snow i not likely to ruin the trip.

Okay, i did as you suggested and bought the ticket to Trakiszki.I just wish to ask how much it costs from there to sestokai in polish Zlotys?
Also, i read that if you tell the inspectors from your starting point of the journey that you will buy extra tickets later, you get some paper and you do not have to pay for the fare of buying on the train itself.Is that true?

Good evening.

Me and my colleague are planning a return trip back home from studying in Budapest.Price-wise, we discovered that a night train from Budapest to Warsaw, then another to Vilnius is the best option.We have already covered how to get to Warsaw, but here a problem arose which I am not sure how to solve.

Our train comes to Warsaw Central station at 07:04, and the other leaves at 07:20.Furthermore, it is impossible to book an international ticket like this in advance, which leaves us two options- hope to buy the ticket in 16 minutes or try buying from the inspector, which causes further problems for me.

My questions- is it possible to manage to navigate the Warsaw central station in 16 minutes, buy the tickets and still make it on time?Also, can you pay by credit card in the international offices for tickets?
If i do decide to buy from the ticket inspector, apparently I can only buy the part to Sestokai, then i have to buy furher tickets in there.But are there ATM's in that small station, or some way i can manage?Because i will only have polish zloty's in cash, so if i were to pay in Lithuanian litas, there are further dilemmas, as i need the ticket to be the one with the 50% discount, as we do not have the money, being students.

Anything you might say in this subject would be a huge help. :)

I am using a discounted ticket as a student returning home from studying, which qualifies me 50 percent off and costs only 29 euros :) therefore it is a cheap and effective sparnight train.

Ohh, so even now it is 21 euro?I was looking though various channels and it always showed the full price, so even though i saw that special discount i thought it was non-existent because it didn't show up.
Paying 40 euro would have been a bit too much for me, but if you say it costs 21 euros from Warsaw to Kaunas only then this is exactly what i was looking for.
So if i buy this ticket in Warsaw central station that will be the price?~21 euro?I think this is very good indeed.
If I'm mistaken please write me, if not then thank you for the help. :)

Good day. :) I am fairly new to these types of forums, but judging from my situation i can see i have alot of travelling to do so...

This is my current problem though.

I am traveling from Budapest to Vilnius via Warsaw.I arrive to Warszawa Centralna at 7:05 and I am lead to believe there is a train leaving at 7:20 from there.A bigger problem is that i couldn't find, or either, couldn't be sure of the discounts offered in Poland.

I am a 20 year-old student travelling back home.Does this entitle me to something?I have seen various discounts, but they all differ and don't know which i can trust.I am going to buy it on the spot at the station with no reservations.Am I entitled to a 50 percent discount?or something less?In lithuania students have 50 percent off in travelling, so if there is no discounts in Warsaw i can buy another ticket at Sestokai?Any help you might give me in this matter is greatly appreciated :)
