Changes in the PKP Intercity timetable. More trains to beautiful cities

With the coming spring, not only airlines are preparing new schedules and additional connections. PKP Intercity reminds that in just a few days we will have additional trains on popular routes.

You could say it’s a gift from PKP for Women’s Day, because the changes come into force on Sunday, March 8. As spring is approaching and many cities feel the thaw, we can feel inspired to plan weekend trips, but also trips for Easter or May Day. The carrier even announced a special promotion and in many cases tickets for distant dates can be purchased even in February.

Additional PKP Intercity connections

We will soon use the new weekend PKP Intercity trains on the Warsaw – Olsztyn and Łódź – Tricity – Łódź routes. Do you dream of staying on the Baltic Sea? Gdańsk, Sopot and Gdynia will be waiting for you, as well as places in the center of Poland and Warmia. Each of them starts in spring with many important cultural events and offers interesting year-round attractions.

The additional trains are:

IC Sielawa on the Warsaw – Olsztyn route (operated by the ED160 electric multiple unit),
IC Meduza on the Łódź – Tricity – Łódź route, via Warsaw (consisting of modernized wagons).

Both will operate in the economic Intercity category. The carrier expects increased tourist traffic, which is why it intends to make additional seats available now.
