Luggage limit when travelling between Krakow and Warsaw by train
I am a student studying in Kraków for long time. My studies have now finished and I will be returning to my country.
I have 4 big pieces of luggage (80 cm longest dimension). Is it permitted to use the train from Kraków to Poland capital (Warsaw) with my luggage or is there a limitation to the number of bags?

There doesn't seem to be a specific luggage limit, however you may have to pay extra for items that exceed your "standard" storage allotment which is overhead and below your seat. The fee itself seems not a problem (less than 1.50 Euro per piece) but it's unclear how this is managed and where the extra items will go.
I'm guessing a lot of it will depend on the specific layout of the train, how full it is and the attitude of the conductors. Some (but not all) cars have dedicated luggage racks.
I travelled last week in Germany and the Czech Republic in two full trains and it was a disaster: no space for any suitcase, no spaces for a bay carriage and the conductors basically staying out of sight so that the passengers need to battle it our on their own.
