The route is served by various categories of long-distance trains running through western Poland. Below we also describe the discounts available on this section and the route between interchange stations.

The journey takes from just over four hours to just over seven hours, depending on the selected service. Some services run without a change, others require a train change en route. You will mark seat reservation during purchase on PolishTrains.

A service with a change gives more departure times to choose from during the day, as there are more connecting trains than direct ones.

You can compare both options in the PolishTrains search engine, taking into account departure times and number of changes.

Among passengers departing from Warsaw Centralna station, the majority, 66 per cent, choose the IC Intercity category. EIP Pendolino accounts for 16 per cent of departures from the station, and TLK for 8 per cent. You choose the train category when selecting the service, before proceeding to payment on PolishTrains.

The choice of category affects travel comfort: Pendolino has air conditioning and faster acceleration, whilst Intercity stops at more stations along the way, which extends journey time. You can compare train categories in the PolishTrains search engine before selecting a service.
