How many train routes does PKP Intercity run?
18 of the routes in this atlas are PKP Intercity services, covering 4,811 km across 1 country (Poland). That is what this atlas draws, not the operator's whole network — a national railway runs thousands of local services no map of notable journeys would list.
What is the fastest PKP Intercity train?
The EIP Pendolino, Warsaw to Gdańsk, at up to 200 km/h. Its fastest scheduled run takes 2 h 39 min over 328 km.
Does PKP Intercity run night trains?
Not in this atlas. All 18 PKP Intercity routes listed here are daytime services.
When was PKP Intercity founded?
Wikidata records the company's inception as 2001, and files it as a railway company. The oldest railway it runs over in this atlas opened in 1847 — the line and the company are rarely the same age, and this page dates both.
