Train IC 4202 - JADWIGA

IC 4202 Jadwiga is an InterCity category train operated by PKP Intercity from Gliwice to Kielce Główne. The journey takes over two hours, and the train stops at nine stations, including Bytom, Katowice, Sosnowiec Główny, Będzin Miasto and Dąbrowa Górnicza. The route therefore runs through the centre of the Silesian metropolitan area before the train heads towards Kielce.

This route means that Jadwiga is suitable both for those travelling between the major cities of Silesia and for those continuing further to Kielce. The timetable, with numerous intermediate stops, also makes it easier for residents of smaller towns along the route to travel. You can buy a ticket for this route through PolishTrains without having to create an account, which speeds up purchases, especially for last-minute journeys.

The price of a ticket for the IC category depends on when it is purchased and on the available allocation of seats, while the difference between the cheapest TLK category and the most expensive one, namely EIP Pendolino, can be several times greater. From Gliwice station, most passengers choose to buy their ticket just before travelling: as many as 40 per cent buy it 1-3 days before departure, while a further 16 per cent buy it in the week before departure. August is the month in which ticket sales from Gliwice station clearly increase, so if you are planning a holiday journey on this route, it is worth booking a ticket sufficiently in advance.

PolishTrains displays the full timetable for IC 4202 Jadwiga together with the journey time, making it easy to plan your journey to the departure station. The IC category indicates a standard between TLK and Pendolino trains, with air-conditioned carriages and reserved seats, which is a sufficiently comfortable option for many passengers travelling to work or university.
