Blatnia train - routes and services
Blatnia is the name used by IC trains running between Kraków Główny and Bielsko-Biała Główna. Trains operating under this name run daily in both directions. This service connects the capital of Małopolska with Podbeskidzie without changing train category along the route.
The Kraków–Bielsko-Biała route is suitable for people travelling to work, university or the Beskids for a weekend, as the IC category offers more comfortable seats than regional trains while maintaining a direct connection. You can check the current timetable for the Blatnia train, together with information about any route changes or replacement bus services, on PolishTrains (polishtrains.eu) before travelling.
The price of a ticket for the Blatnia train depends on the seat category and purchase date, with tickets starting at several dozen złoty. Second class is usually the cheapest, while the most expensive options are seats in a more comfortable carriage, and the price difference can be noticeable. You can check the exact price for your chosen date in the PolishTrains search engine after selecting the date and train category.
The IC category differs from regional trains, among other things, in allowing you to reserve a specific seat, including a window seat. This reservation is made when purchasing a ticket on PolishTrains (polishtrains.eu), rather than relying on a free seat being available in the carriage after boarding the train.
