During a visit to the Eastern bloc,i spent a few days in Zakopane,Poland, situated in the Tatra mountains near the border with Slovakia.Although the holiday was not rail related,i did notice that there was a Station Terminus and did venture down one early evening and found that it was probably the equivelant of bygone summer saturdays in the UK,with trains waiting to take Polish holidaymakers back to Krakow and beyond.And it was enjoyable to do your own thing without any jobsworths etc butting in .
