EIC 3150 Tatry train – route and timetable
EIC 3150 Tatry is an Express InterCity train operated by PKP Intercity, connecting Zakopane with Warszawa Wschodnia. The route has six stops and runs via, among others, Nowy Targ, Kraków Główny, Warszawa Zachodnia and Warszawa Centralna. The journey along the entire route takes more than five hours.
This route layout works both for travellers going from Podhale to Kraków and for those continuing their journey all the way to the capital. In the PolishTrains search engine, you can filter the train by a specific departure time, making it easier to match the service to your daily plans without browsing the entire timetable.
Ticket prices for the route start at several dozen PLN, but depend heavily on the train category – TLK services are the cheapest, while Express InterCity services are the most expensive, with the difference compared with TLK sometimes almost double. If the train is running late compared with the timetable, you can check its current status in real time on PolishTrains without having to look for a separate departures board.
From Zakopane station, most passengers buy tickets two to four weeks before travelling, and a clear increase in sales can be seen in December, during the ski season. If your journey does not end at Warszawa Wschodnia and you are planning a further change, the PolishTrains timetable also shows how much time you have to change trains for the next part of the journey.
