Bydgoszcz

This a very short post about a trip to Bydgoszcz in Poland
Flight from Stockholm to Gdansk with a transfer at Copenhagen
It's clear and cold
Halmstad seen from the air
Some clouds over Öresund

Landing at Kastrup airport

Deicing on the next flight

Shortly after departing from Copenhagen, I'm already about to land in Gdansk
Bydgoszcz is my destination on this trip
All photos on this trip are shot with my iPhone instead of my usual Nikon camera


At the main station, I can spot some trains, here is Newag Griffin locomotive

The locomotive is similar to Stadler Eurodual, as it is also capable of operations on both electrified and non-electrified lines


Photo exhibition of the war in Ukraine


Trams in Bydgoszcz


EP07 locomotive



Bydgoszcz is the home town for the rolling stock manufacturer Pesa


The old name of Bydgoszcz is Bromberg (as it was once part of Germany and even Sweden)









Flying back
Copenhagen again

Flying above Stockholm
My house is somewhere there
