Provodnik

Es gibt Gerüchte, dass die direkte Bahn-Verbindung Polen-Litauen wieder aufgenommen wird. Siehe z.B. hier: http://www.seat61.com/Lithuania.htm ("LATEST UPDATE MAY 2016:  THE START OF THIS NEW SERVICE HAS BEEN POSTPONED.  A WEEKENDS-ONLY KAUNAS-BIALYSTOK TRAIN SERVICE WILL NOW START FROM 17 JUNE 2016. I will post details here when I receive them."). Weiß jemand etwas darüber?

(Ich muss im September nach Litauen - Ostseebad Palanga - fahren, wenn irgendwie möglich mache ich das per Bahn. Ich weiß dass es einen Bus von Polen nach Litauen gibt, aber den will ich vermeiden.)
