Pkm4 train - routes and services
Pkm4 is the designation for REG-category services, that is, regional trains connecting Poznań Główny with Ostrów Wielkopolski, Kępno and Krzyż. Five services run under this name, each operating daily. These are typical services handling local traffic between Poznań and the smaller towns of Wielkopolska.
The routes served by Pkm4 are suitable for daily commuting to work or school, as the regional train stops at most stations along the way. You can buy a ticket without creating an account in the PolishTrains search engine, which is particularly useful for occasional, one-off journeys.
The price of a REG-category ticket depends on the route and fare, but among trains departing from Poznań Główny, Koleje Wielkopolskie are the cheapest and Express InterCity the most expensive, with the difference between them sometimes reaching several times the price. Passengers departing from Poznań Główny most often buy a ticket 1–3 days before travelling. A considerable proportion also make their decision on the same day. You can conveniently check the current timetable and buy a ticket through PolishTrains instead of waiting in a queue at the station ticket office.
It is worth remembering that IC Intercity trains dominate departures from Poznań Główny, while REG and Koleje Wielkopolskie account for a smaller share of traffic. If you are planning a journey in August, the peak sales month for departures from Poznań Główny, it is better to buy your ticket in advance. A ticket purchased through PolishTrains is sent to your phone immediately by SMS or in the app, so you do not need to print the confirmation before boarding the train.
