The journey along the entire route takes over seven hours, and the train stops at 37 stations, including Łowicz Główny and Puławy.

The train operates to InterCity standards, which means more comfortable seats than on regional services. The route is also partly operated by PolRegio and Arriva RP from the starting station. With such a long journey, it is worth checking the current timetable in the PolishTrains tool before departure, as changes to services on longer routes occur more often than on short sections.
