For the May long weekend, PKP Intercity will provide passengers with over 17,000 additional seats. It will also increase the frequency of trains on the most popular routes. Mobile information staff will provide support to travelers at 19 of the largest railway stations in Poland.
More and more often
Starting April 25, PKP Intercity will begin reinforcing trains that are in highest demand by adding carriages so that passengers can travel comfortably for the long weekend. In total, over 280 additional carriages will be added to EIC and TLK category trains. A larger pool of seats than usual will be offered on, among others: EIC Norwid (Kraków – Gdynia), EIC Fredro (Warszawa – Wrocław), EIC Chrobry (Warszawa – Szczecin), TLK Pobrzeże (Kraków – Kołobrzeg), and TLK Kossak (Przemyśl – Szczecin). Travelers will also be able to take advantage of a greater number of connections to the Beskids, the Sudetes, or the seaside.
A well-informed passenger
On April 30 and May 1 and 4, additional information points will be launched at 19 of the largest railway stations in Poland. Mobile information staff will point the way to the platform or provide train departure times. There will be over a hundred of them across the country. A useful tool for those planning their trip is the occupancy table for PKP Intercity trains. Every day, summaries of all trains along with seat occupancy are published on the www.intercity.pl website. Occupancy information helps the carrier plan train compositions and helps passengers choose convenient connections. Also useful is the train schedule preview for all railway stations in Poland, which can be accessed via the free IC Mobile Navigator application.
Travel at a good price
Those who planned their trips for the May long weekend a week or two in advance and bought their tickets early received 15% and 10% discounts. Others could take advantage of the Weekend Ticket Mania. On Saturday and Sunday, PKP Intercity makes a pool of tickets available online at good prices: 29 PLN for TLK and 49 PLN for EIC. The greatest interest among travelers was in tickets for departures on April 30 and returns on May 4. Those who did not manage to buy cheaper tickets earlier can still purchase a Weekend Ticket or a Traveler’s Ticket. Thanks to them, by paying once, you can travel as much as you like on PKP Intercity trains. In the case of the Traveler’s Ticket, on all TLK trains, while using the Weekend Ticket, also on EIC trains. For the former, a passenger will pay 74 PLN for second class and 104 PLN for first class, and for the latter, 154 PLN and 247 PLN respectively. For those traveling with children, the carrier offers a Family Ticket. Thanks to it, every member of the family receives a 32% discount.
