Morcinek train – routes and services
Morcinek is an IC-category train running on four routes connecting Śląsk with Lubelszczyzna: from Lublin Główny to Katowice, from Kielce Główne to Katowice, from Kraków Główny to Lublin Główny, and from Katowice to Lublin Główny. All these services run daily. PolishTrains allows you to filter all Morcinek services by departure time, so you can quickly choose a morning or evening connection.
Morcinek is primarily suitable for people travelling between Śląsk and Lubelszczyzna without needing to change trains – it directly serves the Lublin–Katowice and Katowice–Lublin routes, and also brings passengers from Kraków and Kielce. The journey from Lublin to Katowice takes over four hours, so it is a convenient choice for longer but one-off trips without changing trains.
The Morcinek train operates as an IC category, meaning Intercity – in short, IC simply refers to the same category that you will find in the PolishTrains search engine under its full name, Intercity. The ticket price depends on which option you use on a given section of the route – PolRegio is the cheapest, while a ticket in the IC Intercity category can be several times more expensive.
Among passengers departing from Lublin Główny, the largest group, 42 per cent, buys a ticket on the day before or two to three days before travelling. Sales from this station noticeably accelerate in August. If you lose your ticket by SMS, you can find it again in your order history on PolishTrains and send it to your phone once more.
