The ability to drive a steam locomotive in regular service was today profiled in the Financial Times.

I have only once visited Wolsztyn: October, 2004. The attached image depicts Polskie Koleje Państwowe (Polish State Railways: PKP) OL 49-7, 2-6-2 departing Wolsztyn on October 6, 2004.

I believe the new timetable that came in the middle of last month has increased the Wolstzyn-Leszno steam runs on Mon-Fri to three round trips rather than two.
However the Saturday runs to Poznan only run until 13th March and don't resume until November due to major engineering works on that line and the service being replaced by buses!

I had a few wonderful days at Wolsztyn back in 2019 just before it all hit the fan. Glad they're still going.
