WYD: 700 trains and a visit

World Youth Day organizers finalized a deal today with PKP (Polish State Railways) to deliver 700 extra trains for the July event. Trains from Katowice to Krakow and Rzeszów to Krakow will go four times more often than they currently do. PKP will prepare special tickets for pilgrims for the length of the event.

On Tuesday the Vatican Commission will visit Krakow. The visit is reportedly a formality to secure events and visits during his trip, as World Youth Day officials have not yet received an official schedule of the Pope’s visit. [LoveKrakow, Wyborcza]
