Trains IC ZOSIA
Zosia train – routes and services
Zosia is an IC category train running between Warszawa Wschodnia and Łódź Fabryczna in both directions on selected days of the week. The timetable contains two services with this name, so this is a limited connection rather than one running several times a day. The route connects the capital with Łódź without changing train category along the entire journey.
This arrangement works well for people going on a short business trip or visiting family, as the journey to Łódź takes around an hour. You can buy a ticket for this service on PolishTrains without creating an account, and it is worth checking the platform number on the station board once you arrive.
The ticket price depends on the train category, and on routes operated by IC Intercity it is sometimes the lowest, while EIP Pendolino is usually several times more expensive. A ticket bought on PolishTrains is sent immediately by SMS and to the app, and the service fee is included in the price shown during the search, with no additional costs added at the payment stage.
Most passengers buy a ticket from Warszawa Wschodnia station one or two days before departure. A considerable number plan their journey several weeks in advance. The busiest period at Warszawa Wschodnia station is in August, which is worth taking into account when planning a summer trip. PolishTrains sells tickets with statutory discounts taken into account, so passengers aged 70+ buy a discounted ticket in accordance with their PKP Intercity entitlements, rather than travelling completely free of charge.
