As part of the European Community press to take traffic off of the roads and away from airports, use of rail travel is being promoted across member states.
Long distance Baltic Express covers nine hour journey from Prague to Gdańsk
One of the priorities is to see more cross border rail journeys and from Sunday December 15, a new rail connection will see the launch of the so called Baltic Express which will run from the capital of the Czech Republic to Gdańsk in Poland.
The entire journey will take around nine hours as there will be at least nine stops within Poland but priced at around €75, this seems to be good value for money.

It is intended that here will be four daily departures, three during the day and one at night but as yet, no agreement has been reached with the Czech Railway concerning the addition of any form of sleeping car for the evening journey so despite its long route, passengers will have no option but to make do with seats.
Restaurant car but no sleeper carriages planned for the overnight journey of the Baltic Express
A restaurant car will be available to travellers but will only be in service on the Polish section of the route.
This new service is one of 505 long-distance connections offered by the Polish State Railways and is an increase of 10 per cent over the previous year.
Other routes planned will see one in particular that runs from the border with Ukraine in the south eastern part of Poland, to the northernmost areas along the Baltic Sea coast.
