Routes

The first Varsovia ran between Warsaw and Berlin, Germany. Introduced in 1993, it was absorbed, minus its name, into the EuroCity Berlin-Warszawa-Express service in 2002.

In 2012, a second Varsovia was introduced to link Warsaw with Budapest, Hungary, as an extended replacement for the EC Moravia, which had run only between Ostrava in the Czech Republic and Budapest.[1]

gollark: Hopefully an actual system fix rather than "let's ban alts".
gollark: You could probably find it with a bunch of testing, but connecting to the bot through reddit is slow enough that it likely does not matter.
gollark: Race conditions would be problematic if one part stored one price and one stored a different one for a bit and you could exploit that. Which is probably not the case, though.
gollark: No, that's just it being stupid.
gollark: <@215941165785022464> Race conditions: the new bot is apparently now split into lots of bits, and if they aren't synchronized properly it might be possible to extract coins from the differences between them.
