TLK 36103 Sudety train – route and timetable

The train has 24 stops along the route, including Krzeszowice, Katowice, Głogówek, Paczków and Świdnica Miasto. It takes passengers through Górny Śląsk and Sudety as far as Dolny Śląsk.
This route suits travellers who value a direct connection without changes and are not in such a hurry that they need to choose more expensive train categories. TLK is an economy category, so the standard is simpler than on IC or Pendolino, but tickets are among the cheapest options on this route. You can buy a ticket for this train in the PolishTrains search engine and receive it immediately by SMS or in the app, without needing to create an account.
Ticket prices start at several dozen zlotys, although the difference between categories can be several times greater – IC Intercity is the cheapest option, while Pendolino is the most expensive. From Kraków Główny station, most passengers choose IC trains, a smaller number use Pendolino, and TLK, which includes Sudety, accounts for the smallest share. PolishTrains shows all these categories on one screen, making it easy to compare the journey time and price before choosing a particular train.
The most tickets from Kraków Główny station are sold 1-3 days before departure, while a considerable proportion of passengers buy them even earlier, 2-4 weeks in advance. The number of tickets purchased from Kraków Główny station rises noticeably in August, so it is worth buying a ticket with sufficient notice during this period. If your plans change, you can arrange a ticket refund online through PolishTrains without leaving home.
