Majority of Polish long-distance trains, as well as some regional and local trains, are named. Their names may be connected with station terminus (e.g. "Berolinum" or "Łodzianin"), famous people (e.g. "Reymont" or "Sobieski") or some literary figures (e.g. "Oleńka" or "Wokulski"). Some can be also more abstract, like "Pirat" ("Pirate") or "Swarożyc" ("Svarozhits")
Train numbers may change every year, they depend from many things, like station terminus or railway lines.

Portugal[]

Since 1990, with the opening of the LGV Atlantique, the Sud Express only runs between Lisbon and Hendaye and between Irún and Lisbon and it is no longer operated by SNCF. There is a connecting TGV service between Hendaye and Paris and between Paris and Irún. From October 2012, the Sud Express is upgraded to Trenhotel and runs together with the Lusitânia between Lisbon and Medina del Campo via Coimbra and Salamanca. Also, from this date on, the Sud Express is only operated by CP.[2]
