Trains IC ZEFIR

Zefir is the name given to IC-category services that connect Przemyśl Główny with Ustka every day and return along the same route in the opposite direction. Two trains run under this name, giving passengers a regular, predictable timetable along the entire length of Poland. It is one of the few routes crossing the country diagonally, from Podkarpacie to Pomerania.

Such a long route means that the train stops at many intermediate stations along the way, and some passengers board and alight only halfway through the service. Sometimes a journey plan requires a change to another train if the destination lies outside Zefir’s route. After you enter the station and date, the PolishTrains search engine shows such a connection with a change, together with the waiting time for the train change.

The price of a ticket on Zefir depends mainly on the selected class and how early it is bought – the cheapest tickets usually appear in second class and the most expensive in first class, where the difference can be clearly noticeable. Students can count on a student discount in the IC category, and PolishTrains shows it immediately in the ticket price after the appropriate fare is selected during purchase. It is worth remembering that passengers most often buy tickets for long-distance journeys some time in advance, which usually means a lower price than buying just before departure.

Travelling by IC train differs from regional services mainly in the comfort of the seats and the smaller number of stops on longer sections of the route. If the Zefir service is delayed, you can claim back part of the ticket cost through PolishTrains by completing the online complaints form without having to visit the station.
