Due to the problems I've had with the MAV site, I've looked into alternatives. I found the above bus site. They depart Nepliget station @ 07:00, arriving Krakow @ 13:15. I'm curious if anyone has used this service & how you found their reliability, schedule accuracy, safety. Also, as I can't find out anything on the MAV site, is the bus a whole lot longer than the train?
Thanks again to anyone who can respond.
I think the bus takes about the same time as the train. I've not used Orangeways bus and it looks like they get mixed reviews. The worst reviews seem to be just the overnight bus, not the day bus.
There is another minibus/shuttle service between the two cities you can check out:

Orangeways has some just awful reviews on travel sites like TripAdvisor. Go with the train on this leg of your travel.
Thanks for the replies - most appreciated!
OK, train it is!
Unfortunately, I must travel on a Monday & Eurobusways does not make the BP>Krakow trip on Mondays, so that's out.
Thanks again!
