How can I get from Dusseldorf (German) to Bydgoszcz (Poland)?

Question

I am plannign to visit Poland around Xmas. I am going to spend some time in Germany first though...I have trouble finding a cheap train or caoch connection from Dusseldorf to Bydgoszcz on the 22.12.2006.
Any suggestions, please...?

Europe on rail seems like a good site, however I question its common sense. It is sending us to Bydgoszcz on 2 trains, one via Berlin to Frankfurt for US$127; and then from Frankfurt to Bydgoszcz for $43. It seems to me from looking at a map that the connection to Frankfurt via Berlin is costly exercise in both time and money.

Can we get from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt any better way than via Berlin on the train? Bus for example, or even more direct train?

You have to go via Warsaw,it's about 3 and half hours from there. Rail travel is cheap in Poland.It's a nice town is Bydgozcz which I visited when Ireland played there. Good food and really cheap! Make sure you write down the name of the town if you don't speak Polish as we nearly got tickets for somewhere else as the Ticket Clerk couldn't understand us.
You can also get to Poland by coach, but unless it's only going to be a really short journey I think the train would be a better bet; coach prices aren't that much cheaper to compensate for the longer, much less comfortable journeys, and road border crossings are more time consuming
