PKP Intercity starts training for competition

"We have signed a deal with the Silesian University of Technology for a feasibility study of such a venture. A decision concerning this issue has to be made by the end of the year," said Czeslaw Warsewicz, acting president of PKP IC. In his opinion, the company should make this investment in order to effectively compete with Western companies that will start operating on the Polish market within two years. "The company's financial situation is good and we should make use of it. We will not find another solution," said Warsewicz. An investment in 'push-pull' trains might cost up to EUR 200 million. Analysts are doubtful about the feasibility of this solution. (Puls Biznesu, pp.1, 6) M.M.
