I wonder if there is some train connectivity from Gdansk to Vienna. If anyone could help, I tried searching for it online without any success. Regards, Piyush Singh On Sun, Jun 6, 2010 at 5:25 AM, Roan Kattouw <roan.kattouw(a)gmail.com> wrote:

As arrangements are being finalized for the wiki-train (about a dozen people traveling from London or other places is Western Europe to Gdansk by train), I want to get a quick idea of how many people would be up for doing the same thing on the way back, leaving Gdansk on Monday afternoon (July 12th) and arriving in London (or Cologne, or Brussels, or Paris, or Amsterdam, or...) the next morning. Details about the proposed itinerary are at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Wiki-train#Return_journey . If you're interested, please add yourself to the list on the wiki page (the one in the "return journey" section) so I have an idea of how many people are interested and whether getting a group rate would make sense.

Try ÖBB I made a search in assumption you'd like to depart on Monday. That's the result - a night train from Gdansk Glowny around noon to Wien Meidling on 6 in the morning would be most convenient, unless you won't care of transits (Umsteigen) http://fahrplan.oebb.at/bin/query.exe/dn?seqnr=2&ident=0q.0146871.12758… Cheers, On Sun, Jun 6, 2010 at 1:04 PM, Piyush Singh <piyushsomvanshi(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Just go from Wien to Berlin and Berlin to Gdańsk. It's easy. I can recommend an Interrail ticket, that wight be cheaper for a two-way train journey than the ordinary price (you can find Interrail prices at oebb.at or bahn.de). (This Easter I went from Zürich to Wien to Bratislava to Banská Bystrica (by mistake, lol) to Budapest to Bucureşti. Quite a few stops, but there was never any real problem in getting where we wanted.)

The train planner I tried suggests traveling through Warsaw. For daytime travel, you can leave Gdansk Glowny at 07:55 on EIC 5302, then change at Warszawa Centralna to EC 105, arriving at Wien Westbahnhof at 20:44. For nighttime travel (move convenient but probably more expensive), you can leave Gdansk at 15:55 on EC 5300, then change at Warszawa Wschodina to D 407 (sleeper train), arriving at Wien Westbahnhof at 06:22 the next morning. A third option is to take the overnight TLK 83508 leaving Gdansk at 23:23 and arriving in Katowice at 08:43, then change to EC 103, arriving at Wien Simmering at 13:58. But let's keep this thread on topic :) Roan Kattouw (Catrope)
