The Lokietek train – routes and services
Lokietek is an IC category train running one service every day on the Kraków Główny–Warszawa Wschodnia route. This direct connection links the capital of Małopolska with the country’s capital and is operated as part of the Intercity offer. The service runs daily, making it easier to plan regular trips.
The route is suitable both for business and private travel – the journey takes over two hours, and passengers travelling towards Warsaw from Kraków Główny most often find an EIP, IC or TLK train. Before travelling, it is worth checking the exact departure time in the PolishTrains search engine to choose a service that fits your daily plans.
The ticket price depends on the train category – travelling by IC Intercity is the cheapest option, while Pendolino is the most expensive, and the difference between these categories can be several times the price. From Kraków Główny, the most tickets are sold 1–3 days before departure, and a clear increase in interest can be seen in August, which is worth taking into account when buying a ticket in advance. PolishTrains shows the current Lokietek timetable, including changes introduced by the carrier in subsequent periods.
If you want to buy a ticket for Lokietek without creating an account, you can do so on PolishTrains, paying immediately by BLIK or card. This method of purchase is particularly useful for sudden trips when time matters more than creating a user profile.
