Polskie Koleje Państwowe SA (PKP SA, English: Polish State Railways, Inc.) is the dominant railway operator in Poland.
The company was founded when the former Polskie Koleje Państwowe state-owned operator was divided into several units based on the requirements laid down by the European Union. PKP SA is the dominant company in PKP Group collective that resulted from the split, and maintains in 100% share control, being fully responsible for management of all of the other PKP Group component companies. The group's organisations are dependent upon PKP SA, but proposals for privatisation have been made.
In Poland there are 23,429 kilometres (14,558mi) of railway tracks managed by PKP SA and owned by the state.
PKP today
Pricing system
The pricing system currently employed by PKP is highly regressive. On international routes such as, for example, the Berlin-Warszawa Express and the IC-Nightbus Warsaw – Vilnius, a global pricing system is in use which requires one to buy two separate tickets (one in each direction) in place of a single consolidated return ticket. The long-distance and local trains' pricing systems are separated from each other in entirety and thus tickets issued by local train operators cannot be used on long-distance services, with the opposite also true. International tickets, however, are valid on all services upon which one is required to travel on order to reach the final destination stated on the ticket (unless a specific routing is stipulated in the conditions terms of use).

Star Guitar (Polish State Railways)
20 lat temu (dokładnie 14.01.2002) ukazał się Star Guitar grupy Chemical Brothers - jeden z najbardziej rozpoznawalnych w świecie kolejowym teledysków (kto nie widział - polecam spojrzeć: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S43IwBF0uM). Jeżdżąc tej jesieni pociągiem wzdłuż LHS nakręciłem trochę ujęć z okna i postanowiłem zainspirować się klipem w rezyserii Michela Gondry. Nagranie ujęć zabrało jeden dzień (Michel w swoim przypadku jeździł 10 razy), o tyle sam montaż zajął sporo czasu - prawie 3 miesiące.
