PKP Intercity has settlement with Alstom

Passenger railway transportation firm PKP Intercity has reached a settlement with Alstom in a dispute regarding the delivery of 20 high-speed Pendolino trains to Poland. The agreement states that Alstom will continue delivering the trains in accordance with an earlier settled schedule. PKP Intercity will accept the deliveries and continue to calculate fines for delays, but it will not deduct them from current payments. The companies also agreed to file the case to a court of arbitration. PKP Intercity and Alstom said that they plan to ensure the trains start operating in Poland on December 14 this year.
