IC-EC-103 Polonia train – route and timetable
IC-EC-103 Polonia is a PKP Intercity train running from Warszawa Wschodnia to Bogumin; the journey takes over four hours. The train stops at thirteen stations, including Warszawa Centralna, Opoczno Południe, Zawiercie, Mysłowice and Rybnik. The route connects the capital with Upper Silesia and crosses the border in the south of the country.
This route is particularly suitable for passengers travelling from the capital to Silesia or further towards the border, as the train covers it without the need to change. If you want to check the current timetable and seat reservations for this specific train, it is more convenient to do so in the PolishTrains search engine than by browsing the carrier’s website separately.
Ticket prices for IC-EC-103 start at several dozen zlotys, with IC Intercity being the cheapest category and EIP Pendolino the most expensive, with the difference reaching several times the basic price. It is worth bearing this in mind, as the standard and facilities of the carriages increase with the category, so the choice depends on whether comfort or the cost of the journey is more important.
Customers most often buy tickets for this connection several days before travelling. However, some passengers reserve a seat much further in advance, even several weeks earlier. Before your planned journey, it is better to book your ticket in advance through PolishTrains to be sure of a seat in the selected category. It is worth checking the platform number on the station board on the day of departure, especially at large stations along the route.
