EU travellers to get more compensation for delayed trains

The new legislation could improve travel comfort for many Poles, the country’s Gazeta Wyborcza newspaper has reported. According to the paper, the regulations aim to force railway transportation providers to be more punctual. Once the new legislation comes into effect in 2021, rail passengers across the bloc will be entitled to get half their ticket price back if their train is delayed more than 90 minutes. The compensation would be 75 percent of the price if a train is delayed more than two hours. "If railway transportation is to work properly it needs to stay attractive and provide quality services," a Polish MEP who helped draft the new rules was quoted by the paper as saying. Meanwhile, only 68 percent of Polish trains arrived on time in the second quarter of 2018, the worst result since Polands Office of Rail Transport began making the data public in 2011, Gazeta Wyborcza reported.

2018 WAFCA Winners
2018 WAFCA Winners
Культура

As a film critic of medium-low importance, one of my most sacred duties is participating in the Washington Area Film Critics Association (WAFCA) year-end awards extravaganza. During this hallowed time of year, I watch dozens of movies and mine my own recollection of the good, the bad, and the ugly to determine what, precisely, the best films of the year were. At the end of this grueling process—this death march through endless stacks of DVDs, searching for the rarest pearl in an ever-increasing sea of muck—we WAFCA members nominate up to five films/people in each category. The five films/people who earn the most votes in every category are then voted upon by the whole of the membership, the winners are chosen, the press release is sent out, and blessed, blessed relief descends upon us as we put the exercise to rest for 11 months.
