Nonsensical claims
edit"At that time the line was 1,963 kilometres (1,220 mi) long, and its tracks spanned 104 new bridges.[1]
The line significantly shortened travel times in Upper Silesia: the trains, travelling at 30-40km/h, took between 5 to 7 hours to traverse the route, while stage coaches took several days."
Does not compute ! How far is it from Wroclaw to Myslowice ?Tallewang (talk) 07:24, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
- @Tallewang: Ah, I see. I used the Polish notation with comma instead of a dot in convert template, and it didn't understand it, so instead of 196.3km (in Polish written as 196,3km) it treated it as 1963km, hence the error. Fixed, thanks for reporting this. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:27, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
