PKP Intercity is a company of PKP Group responsible for long-distance passenger transport. It runs about 350 trains daily, connecting mainly large agglomerations and smaller towns in Poland. The company also provides most international trains to and from Poland. Trains offer Wi-Fi connectivity.

History[]

The company was founded after splitting Polskie Koleje Państwowe (national rail operator) into several companies to meet European Union standards.

Operations[]

The company runs the following train categories:

  • Express InterCity Premium (EIP, EIC Premium) – domestic high-speed trains (ED250 New Pendolino) between major cities with obligatory reservation.
  • Express InterCity (EIC) – high-standard trains between major cities and popular tourist destinations:
    • domestic Express InterCity trains with obligatory reservation,
    • EuroCity (EC) – international high-standard trains, reservation obligatory on domestic routes,
    • EuroNight (EN) – international night trains with obligatory reservation.
  • InterCity – affordable express trains with obligatory reservation; higher standard than TLK but the same fare
