mojo 3 Posted February 5, 2006 Thinking about the Gdansk route myself. How much roughly from Gdansk to Bydgoszcz by train and by taxi bearing in mind there will be three of us? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We are trying Stansted to Bydgoszcz this year, Friday to Sunday. Bit annoyed about the time changes but the flights were cheap so are sticking with them. Have not received any notification from Ryanair though. We flew Wizzair from Luton to Gdansk last year and took the train down. There are plenty of trains and the website is good. We took the bus from the airport to the railway station, along with a Polish rider who had been injured riding for Oxford and was going home. His partner spoke to the driver and we did not have to pay but it took a long time. Used a taxi going back and it was cheap - much better. The railfare was about £6 but it was very busy as it was the end of the Polish holidays - if it is busy it is worth paying an extra £1/£2 for first class. Bought tickets at the station. No problems and really enjoyed it. Understand Gdansk is a nice place if you have some time to spare. Also no problem getting an early train back (Kevin).

Joanne 0 Posted February 5, 2006 (edited) Thanks for the info, Mojo. Been to Gdansk last year with Travel Plus, very nice. Had a really nice meal by the river, must have been the most expensive meal in Poland. Sailed out of Gdansk to Sweden. Flights booked, just waiting for hotel confirmation now.

Matt Davis 156 Posted February 6, 2006 I wish Ryanair would make their minds up with the flight times.. I wanna know where i'll be drinking on my brithday!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rico 210 Posted February 6, 2006 (edited) Mr Davis, Just think "it'll be out of a glass or a bottle". It doesn't matter which country you will be in for the majority of the day, I am sure you will have a ball. There is a well stocked bar at Stansted airport that I have spent many an hour pre-flight in. Regardless of arrival time in Bydgoszcz you will be taken out on the town on the Thursday night and at the end of proceedings left naked tied to the statue on the main square for the pigeons to feed on in the morning. I hope the pigeons aren't TOO hungry Rico Edited February 6, 2006 by Rico Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joanne 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Never mind the statue in the square, Rico. What about the statue hanging over the river (I think its a girl)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rico 210 Posted February 6, 2006 Only stayed in Gdansk once and we were based in the Holiday Inn, right opposite the main station. Wasn't particulalry cheap though, but depends on your idea of 'reasonably priced'. Rico Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
