Moving on, Lublin. Here, the idea is to build an HSL, albeit probably one with parameters more similar to the existing CMK than the new Y or French LGVs. The line would branch out from the Warsaw-Terespol line around Mińsk Mazowiecki (also known as a train repair works town where Newag's anticompetitive geofencing triggered on trains in regular service), making its way to Łuków in gentle curves bypassing Siedlce, the cutting straight to Lubartów and Lublin. This was another eyebrow-raiser, given that this routing increases the distance between Warsaw and Lublin… but on the other hand eliminates direction changes in Lublin for trains headed to points south, with a new, straightened out and heavily upgraded corridor to Stalowa Wola, and a brand-new, shorter line from around Nisko or Rudnik nad Sanem to Rzeszów would enable Warsaw-Rzeszów times of 2 hours, which also suggests HSR there. Another branch would head straight for Zamość, followed by Tomaszów Lubelski and the Ukrainian border, with the idea that it would connect to Lviv. This routing is pretty significant, and a likely bone of contention 13/ #ZSKPolska #Lubelskie #rail #kolej

For all that the south-east is considered PiS's home turf, the new Wild plan appears to have given up on dragging HSLs out there and opted more for local density improvements and upgrades of existing lines… But when the gov map was unveiled, the point he seized on to criticize it was, perhaps surprisingly, TENT. I'll admit I was not aware the current TENT supplementary core network includes a new line Siemiatycze-Biała Podlaska-Parczew… but it does. And Wild wasted no time ranting on Xitter about it being completely missing from gov planning (for defense reasons, I assume). In its place, the government proposes connections in Łuków, as well as new line connecting the HSL from the direction of Lublin to around Międzyrzec Podlaski via Radzyń Podlaski, more for freight than passenger use, if the models are to be believed 14/ #ZSKPolska #Lubelskie #kolej #rail

Podczas pożaru lasu na terenie Nadleśnictwa Józefów w powiecie biłgorajskim, w katastrofie zginął pilot gaśniczego samolotu Dromader. Odszedł na wieczny dyżur... W Polsce, w sezonie, w specjalnych Leśnych Bazach Lotniczych stacjonuje do 20 szt. polskich PZL M18 Dromader. Znałem pilotów stacjonujących pod Rybnikiem. Widziałem tyle razy Dromadery na pokazach. Latanie nisko i powoli nad płonącymi lasami to trudna sztuka. Silnikom brakuje tlenu. Robią to wyjątkowi piloci. Ogromny szacunek 💪 https://www.lublin112.pl/tragedia-podczas-gaszenia-lasu-na-roztoczu-rozbil-sie-smiglowiec-jedna-osoba-nie-zyje/ #katastrofa #lotnictwo #lubelskie #pożar #las
