Spodek train – routes and services
Spodek is the name given to TLK-category services running between Kraków Główny and Poznań Główny. Two services of this train run in both directions every day, so the route can be travelled on any day of the week. You can check the departure times on an ongoing basis, as these details change more often than the name of the train itself.
The Spodek train is well suited to people travelling a longer route who prefer one direct service without changes in Warsaw or Katowice. The TLK category denotes an interregional train, slower than Intercity or Pendolino, but usually cheaper, which is more important to many passengers than the journey time.
The price of a ticket for Spodek depends mainly on when it is purchased and the carriage class, while the cheapest tickets in the TLK category are usually among the lowest fares on the rail market. Those planning their journey in advance have a better chance of finding the best price, as the closer it gets to departure, the fewer seats are available at lower prices.
