It was in March! Maybe he thought it wasn’t worth explaining it to a foreigner I’m not sure whether he overcharged me or not…
Kraków next week, cool! Let me know when you’re in town!

Pino, when was it? They supposedly changed the rules in January. I got yelled at horribly when I did what you described. Playing stupid eventually smoothed things over a bit, but still, it wasn’t pleasant. That’s when the proper process was explained to me in excruciating detail.
And there’s a surcharge too, if you purchase your ticket on the train.
Kraków? I’m thinking next week

That’s not necessarily true: I bought an osobowy ticket from Katowice to Kraków and got on the pospieśny train (it’s hard to tell the difference). The conductor wrote me a new ticket on the train and I only paid the difference (which was a matter of about four złotych anyway).
Although naturally SNCF wins hands down, I don’t think PKP is all that bad!!

So when are you coming to visit Kraków?
