Cmk

Year ago or so a news came across that railway route no 8 between Radom and Warka would receive major upgrade. This lane was opened in November 1934 as single track. Connecting Warszawa with south of Poland, including Radom, then Kielce and Krakow. The journey on board steam train used to take less than 2hours covering distance of ca.100km.

Today however, the same journey might take even 3hours as result of low capacity on the single track between Warka and Radom. Hence a plan of major upgrade surface from time to time. This happened to me as I was so exited when heard the news. Last autumn /'13/ I  even walked to my grandma who leaves along this track, as the news heralded that major revamp of this route would happened soon...

Nothing happened as such, plans for upgrade been postponed once again. This was unclear for till a moment when I found a post on the net,where someone explained to the wider pubnlic why "upgrade of route no 8" will not happened any time soon.

CMK - centralna magistrala kolejowa, built in 70's last century as a cargo route, already connects Warszawa with Krakow. Then there is short link connecting Kielce and CMK. 

Hence, people of "my" town Radom would have commute to Warsaw by a train 3 hours one way!
