PKP Intercity announces expanded train schedule and capacity plans

PKP Intercity is set to implement a new timetable starting December 13, 2026, which will increase daily services to 600 trains, an addition of 69 connections compared to the current schedule. During the summer period, the number of connections is expected to rise to 622.

Key improvements include more frequent services on major routes, such as trains running every 30 minutes between Warsaw and the Tri-City area. Other expanded routes include Krakow to Warsaw, with 32 daily trains, and increased connections between Warsaw and Bialystok, as well as between Poznan and Zielona Gora or Gorzow Wielkopolski. New services will also include a night train to Zakopane and improved links from Podkarpacie to Warsaw.

Regarding passenger capacity, CEO Janusz Malinowski stated that the company does not intend to increase the number of standing passengers in most of its fleet, including Pendolino and FLIRT trains. However, the carrier is discussing potential technical modifications with Pesа for the Dart electric multiple units to potentially increase their passenger capacity during major repairs.
