    Here's the big one - yesterday, PKP PLK announced a pilot of track-only platform numbering is beginning in Mysłowice. Instead of platforms 1,2,3 with tracks 11,3,1,2,4, passengers will see just platforms 1,2,3,4,5. From December, five other stations will see platforms renumbered in this fashion - those will be the Milówka, Rajcza, Sól, Skarżysko-Kamienna and Środa Wielkopolska.

    Many of you will rejoice, I'm sure, and some of you will know I'm unhappy about this, even if I recognize I'm probably in the minority. It is quite probable we'll end up in a similar spot as Czechia, where a transition has been slowly happening for years. However, it should be noted nothing is set in stone yet - PKP PLK has been careful to say this solution may not be adopted. The platform-track way of understanding rail stations will live on with a couple maniacs like me, some railway workers and tiny countries like Serbia:
