Finally we get a Pendolino train from Poznan to Warsaw!

It’s finally happening—starting this December, you can hop on the Pendolino from Poznań to Warsaw or Szczecin and cut your travel time like never before. PKP Intercity officially confirmed the news at a recent conference, and we’re here for it.

The Pendolino will take you from Szczecin Główny to Warsaw in a record time of just 4 hours and 17 minutes. From Poznań to the capital? Only 2 hours and 19 minutes! It’s a serious game changer for those tired of long drives or endless regional trains.

Here’s the rundown: The train will stop in Stargard, Krzyż, and Poznań before speeding straight to Warsaw. A trip from Szczecin to Poznań clocks in at just 1 hour and 47 minutes, so if you’ve been dreaming of a smoother commute or a fast weekend getaway, this is your ticket.

Now, about the train itself: the Pendolino isn’t just your average express train. This beauty is designed to hit speeds of up to 250 km/h, making it one of Europe’s fastest high-speed trains. Sleek, modern, and known for its smooth ride, the Pendolino is packed with comfort, offering spacious seating, WiFi, air conditioning, and a modern onboard bistro. It’s built for speed, style, and convenience.

But here’s the catch—on this new route, the Pendolino will be capped at 160 km/h for now. Yep, it’s not quite reaching its full potential, but it’s still cutting travel time significantly. The hope is that, in the future, upgrades to the tracks will allow it to hit that 250 km/h mark, which will slice travel times even more. Something to look forward to!

As for pricing, it hasn’t been confirmed yet, but early estimates suggest that a one-way ticket from Poznań to Warsaw will be around PLN 160-180. Not bad when you consider the time you’ll save and the experience you’ll get.

The Pendolino is shaping up to be a massive upgrade for travel between Poland’s major cities. Whether it’s a quick business trip, a weekend getaway, or just avoiding that road traffic, this is a travel option worth keeping on your radar! Get ready to jump onboard this December and experience fast train travel.
