Travel plans, routes and timetables / Budapest-Warsaw-Vilnius dilemma
« on: January 16, 2013, 10:17:19 pm »
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.
