Gryf train – routes and services
Gryf is the name given to IC-category services running daily on the route between Olsztyn Główny and Szczecin Główny. Two services run under this name, one in each direction. This direct connection links Warmia with Pomorze Zachodnie without the need to change trains.
The Gryf route is useful for travellers travelling between two regions that do not have many direct railway alternatives. The timetable changes several times a year, so it is worth checking the current departure times and service numbers regularly in the PolishTrains search engine before planning the rest of the journey.
The price of a ticket for Gryf depends primarily on how many days before departure it is purchased. From Olsztyn Główny, most passengers buy tickets 1–3 days before departure, while a considerably smaller group waits until the day of travel. Ticket sales from Olsztyn Główny increase noticeably in August, so it is worth buying a ticket in advance during this period.
Among passengers departing from Olsztyn Główny, the clear majority choose IC Intercity trains, a smaller proportion choose PolRegio, and the fewest choose TLK. The price difference between the cheapest PolRegio category and the most expensive IC Intercity category can be several times greater, so the choice of train category has a greater impact on the ticket cost than when it is purchased. You can buy a ticket for the selected Gryf service on PolishTrains without creating an account, and after payment it is sent straight to your phone by SMS or in the app. If your travel plans change, you can arrange a ticket refund online via PolishTrains, without visiting a ticket office.
