Trains IC KATAMARAN
Katamaran train – routes and services
Katamaran is an IC-category train running between Łódź Fabryczna and Gdynia Główna, daily in both directions. The timetable includes two services, making this route one of the regular long-distance connections linking central Poland with the coast. The journey towards Gdynia takes more than four hours.
The route is suitable for people going to the seaside for a long weekend, as well as for travellers with luggage larger than hand luggage, because IC trains have space for suitcases and room for passengers travelling with a four-legged companion. If you are planning to travel with a dog in a carrier, it is worth checking this before purchasing a ticket in the PolishTrains search engine, as the rules for transporting animals depend on their size and how they are carried.
The ticket price for Katamaran depends mainly on the selected seat category – TLK is the cheapest, while ŁKA Sprinter is the most expensive, with the difference between them sometimes almost twofold. PolishTrains shows the available categories and prices as soon as you search for a connection, so comparing options takes only a moment. Ticket sales for this route peak in July.
Most travellers buy a ticket for this route several days before departure. A considerable proportion only decide on the day of departure. If your plans change after purchase, you can exchange the ticket online through the PolishTrains service without visiting a ticket office. This exchange is particularly useful when the travel date has to be postponed at short notice.
