andreweaston Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) I had planned to hire a car out of poznan to see the SWC but cant get my license here in time..I have tickets to the SWC Raceoff and Final but its the final leg of the journey that im having problems with.. Anyideas how i can sort the travel arrangements out below would be much appreciated: Raceoff - Thursday 14th Poznan to Gorzow(leave at 1600hrs the earliest - ryanair "lands" 1530hrs) then Gorzow back to Poznan after the raceoff that night Final - Satursday 16th Poznan to Gorzow(leave anytime) then Gorzow to Poznan that night.. (Flight departs sunday afternoon from poznan back to the UK) Any ideas let me know 1. Taxi ? - anybody want to share the cost 2. Find a bus full of speedway fans and hitch a ride 3. Trains are on strike adn the Bus is unreliable i have been told 4. Hire a car if somebody will give it to me without a license. 5. Walk cheers /Andrew Edited July 5, 2011 by age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesilmaster Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 What licence do you need? Does your own driving licence not apply in Poland? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhproductions Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) Is it worth double checking about this Rail strike??? As I've found their rail system good when going to GP's over there. It's not that fast compared to the UK but its bang on time and cheap. Check polrail.com. It will give you times and fares. I suspect a taxi will be in the region of 500PLN (£100+) as it cost us 350PLN from Leszno to Poznan last year after the GP and that was about 100KM and I think Gorzow is a bit further. Hope I've been a help of sorts! Edited July 5, 2011 by jhproductions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHP- thanks for the thoughts - I will continue to check Bus and Train but it looks like its going to be a taxi. e.g. expensive oversight. . because i need to get back from gorzow on thursday and saturday night.

What i would do in your situation would be to try and stay nearer Gorzow on thur-sat(i realise you would lose the money on the Poznan hotel)try www.booking.com some hotels available but not in Gorzow itself. Just checked trains for thursday Poznan 16.50 arr Gorzow 19.07 Gorzow 23,13 arr Poznan 01.30 Edited July 8, 2011 by racers and royals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madison Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Travel Plus are taking two coaches from Poznan to Gorzow and back on thursday and saturday. Perhaps it's worth contacting them to see if you could buy yourself a seat on one of them. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiegal Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Well that option is a no-go.. Travel Plus quote this morning "no chance"... the search continues... The sole reason for this is that our Public Liability insurance will NOT cover us if we have a none paying/contracted client on our bus.....you will find that this is European contract law..and we simply cannot take a risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superguest Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Well that option is a no-go.. Travel Plus quote this morning "no chance"... the search continues... Maybe ask the Poznan club if they have coaches going to Gorzow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petes Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I am currently working in Amsterdam, so can't get the sky sports feed on my laptop. Does anyone know if there is somewhere here that I can go to watch the playoff, or have any links I can use to watch it on the internet please?
