IC 1116 Żubr train – route and timetable
IC 1116 Żubr is an InterCity train operated by PKP Intercity, running from Białystok to Warszawa Wschodnia. The entire journey takes over three hours, and the train stops at, among others, Białystok Zielone Wzgórza, Hajnówka, Nurzec, Sarnaki and Siedlce. It is a realistic alternative to travelling by car on this route, especially for people travelling from the Podlaskie region towards the capital.
Żubr is suitable both for passengers boarding in Białystok and for those travelling from smaller stations along the route, such as Hajnówka or Siedlce, as it is a direct service with no need to change in Warsaw. The IC category means a higher standard of carriages than on regional trains.
The ticket price depends primarily on the selected train category, and the difference between the cheapest PolRegio option and the more expensive IC can be several times greater. If you want to check the current timetable and buy a ticket for Żubr without creating an account, you can do so on PolishTrains, where the available fare options for the given day are shown immediately.
From Białystok, most tickets are sold one to three days before departure. Some passengers decide to buy only on the day of travel.

After buying a ticket on PolishTrains, you will receive it immediately by SMS and in the app, and if your plans change, you can return it online.
