The railway network in Poland is well organized both in respect of convenient connections and the standard of travel. Some people have even suggested that Poland should be visited by train.
Types of trains
Fast and express trains run between the largest cities. Fast trains run between the larger cities without stopping at smaller stations. Express trains run between the main Polish cities.
Regional trains carry passengers to smaller towns. Traveling by slower trains you can visit smaller Polish towns and villages. These trains usually run over short routes and often stop at all the local stations.
Train fares depend on the route, the kind of train and the class. Many different promotional prices are always on offer. For details ask at the railway station.
Train standards
Polish trains have very diverse standards. Express trains are of the highest standard, regional or the slower trains are of the lowest standard. All trains, except for the slower ones, are divided into first and second class carriages.
Intercity trains and many express trains have a separate restaurant car.
Some trains also have special smoking compartments.
Long-distance trains are often equipped with additional sleeping-cars.
The Polish State Railway offer seats to disabled passengers in special carriages, and in some stations there are lifts on some platforms.
