Not very widely known funfact: twice during the 90s TGV trains arrived in Poland.
The first time it happened in 1991 when the record-braking TGV Atlantique unit 325 (the one that ran 515 km/h) was brought to Warsaw for a HSR conference. It couldn't run on its own because of incompatible power mode.
Then in 1995, for the 150th anniversary of railways in Poland, courtesy of SNCF and Alstom PKP borrowed TGV Réseau 4522 (which was not in service yet). Because it was multi-mode and supported 3kV DC, it ran a bunch of special rides between 12 and 19 June 1995, stopping in multiple cities and attracting a lot of interest.
The train was operated by the SNCF staff, with Polish crew present in the driver's cabin.
Some people say that Google maps is so much more useful and has up-to-date information and details etc.
But that's true only if you're driving lol and even then barely. Mostly because Google managed to monopolize some outworldly access to APIs and other proprietary information that gives them an insane insight into traffic and roadworks info etc.
If you care about walking or cycling Google Maps are actually dogshit and OSM will have unbelievably more detail and information that is displayed in a way more useful way
I love trying to look up a way of walking between point A and B on Google Maps and getting a car-scale view of the map with some thick-ass dots that basically tell me "uhhhh just walk… somehow. somewhere. Good luck not dying tho!"
