Trouble in Paradise

The Summer 1998 issue of Mass Transit announced that three bidders on the new Warsaw subway car bidders filed a complaint with the Public Procurement office when Metro Warszawskie decided to go with high bidder GEC Alsthom. Their bid was $30 million higher than the bids from the three other bidders, Daewoo, Hyundai and Siemens.

Here's a page in Polish about the Warzaw metro I found in August 1998. There are also some great Polish tram pages that go along with it.
 


 Warsaw LRT 



Old and new WKB rolling stock

The WKD, or Warszawska Kolej Dojazdowa, means Warsaw local railway. The authority is a division of the PKP, or Polish National Railways. This line is a 35 km light rail line that has a small section in subway. The only "subway station" is actually an open cut station, as can be seen on Robert Schwandl's excellent metro site.
