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 exclusive high-speed trains (ED250 New Pendolino) between major cities with obligatory reservation.
  • Express InterCity (EIC) – high-standard express trains between major cities and popular tourist destinations:
  • InterCity – affordable high-standard express trains and fast trains with obligatory reservation; higher standard and priority than TLK but the same fare. Exclusive high-standard express trains - Pesa Dart and Stadler Flirt also run under the InterCity brand.
    • EuroCity (EC) – international high-standard trains, reservation obligatory, on domestic routes runs under InterCity and Express InterCity brand,
    • EuroNight (EN) – international night trains with obligatory reservation.
  • Twoje Linie Kolejowe (TLK, "Your Rail Lines"; formerly called Tanie Linie Kolejowe, "Cheap Rail Lines" from 2005–2011) – affordable fast trains with obligatory reservation (with some exceptions); lower standard than InterCity. Some overnight TLK trains such as Przemyślanin and Ustronie provide couchette and sleeper cars. A limited number of shorter-route TLK trains is 2nd-class only. Usually run by locomotive-hauled rakes and more rarely Pesa Bydgostia EMUs.
    • Międzynarodowy (M) – international fast train (lower standard than EuroCity)
    • Międzynarodowy nocny – international night train (lower standard than EuroNight)
