How good is the Polish main carrier ? PKP Intercity review 

Hi Simply Railway. They often downgrade older first class coaches to second class if they need more second one. This intercity IC category is often crowded if the train is going from Warsaw via Sochaczew and Łódź. The coaches with black window line and this type of interior are the latest version however many coaches are under going modernisation so they will look familiar. Thank for visiting Poland 👍.

6:06 you rock, nice of you to give you seat up - that was awesome

travel on the en57 that will be an whole different experience lol

6:50 Here, in Poland, we downgrade our 1st class cars very often. That's simply because we've too many of it and people here really prefer to travel as cheap as possible. So you see - your train had only 1 1st class which still had a few empty seats and about 8 crowded 2nd ones.

A pity that this train had no restaurant car, so you couldn't have tried it. Hope you did on other rides in Poland, as the Polish WARS restaurant cars are literally the best in Europe and probably wider.

So platform in Polish is peron. In Indonesian too 🇮🇩 ❤ 🇵🇱 Greetings from Indonesia. Btw I love train

I had the honor to travel in a similar coach like you, when the EC "Hortobágy" (it's route was Nyíregyháza-Budapest-Keleti-Wien Hbf. about 2 years ago, nowadays it goes to Záhony and Kyiv) ran with PKP cars. I loved them! They're clean, comfy, silent and can run fast. I especially liked the dining car. I think that it was a Real dining car. I had a so delicious breakfast there. So all in all, thanks for this video Simply Railway and thumbs up, Polish Mates!

It's nice that you visited Poland. Our trains are changing, they are becoming more comfortable and more and more people travel on trains, We like Czech trains, and we often visit Czech Republic

I cant wait to see a film on this channel from Pendolino. Warsaw-Kraków or maybe Warsaw-Gdańsk. Hope to see it soon ;)

I visited Poland in 2011 and walked by Warsaw’s Central train station. Should have gone in just to see how Wow looking it is! I see there’s a Rossman store which is like a Walgreen’s . Thank you so much for a superb video. Would love to see more train trips in Poland. 👏🏻👍🏻💖

Did you know, the locomotive is actually one which is based on a British design, which we called Class 83. The model before it PKP EP06 was even built in Britain! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_83

Love the inspiration from Simply Aviation, good quality, pleasure to watch!

Nice video! I like very much to watch your videos about railways. Greeting from Moscow, RUS!

Warsaw central reminds me a lot of Brussels central station, very nice!

Already seeing the magnificent Warsaw modern station...WHAT A CONTRAST TO THE DREARY American rail situation!

Warszawa Centralna is awesome. I never used it to go anywhere by train since I come to city by plane and bus from chopin, but I always use it to cut crossing streets and dodge bad weather upstairs lol. walk from one end of a platform to another and you crossed half of the central town XD

Greetings from Wrocław!!!

6:45 I have done a little bit of research, and this train always has two first class carriages which run as second class. I do not know why!

The intercity trains are very often full, especially during the holidays. Once i had to sit on the floor for 2 hours before we got a seat. Also maybe you should visit Poznań Główny! Its very nice there

Molto belle le vetture polacche. E tante sono pure confortevoli. Un bel video.

I've not been to Poland before I'm going there next year in the summer cant wait to see how good there trains then to the UK. Good video really enjoyed it

Real trains are in czech republic too! But still nice vid i sometimes need to go to neighbour (poland) sometimes :D And greetings from Brno, Czech Republic

I once rode PKP and it was vary impressive. Nice video. I'm really in love with PKP

Polish railways are amazing. Some of the best in Europe in my opinion

Great tripreport. Greetings from Poland. 👍😃

The station looks like an airport ☺️ Great video as always

At least there’s no ticket barriers like all the big stations in the Uk

Great video. I find it puzzling why Poles are not proud of their trains. They are inexpensive, clean and comfortable, and they could give many rail companies outside the country a run for their money. I am surprised that PKP Intercity is not having a go at some of the franchises elsewhere.

These are the cheapest wagons in Railway in Poland and It is good I wasn't in Poland for over 5 years it has progressed much better with the trains/railway

do more polish trip reports !

I like the station design of Warsaw Central :)

IM from Poland and im excited this train dont late

6:50 They didn't had a 2nd class car, so they took a 1st class car and used it as 2nd class. That happens very often. On some trains it's also planned so.

The trains with the old manual opening doors offered more culture. I can understand the automatic button, as there were times the manual opener was difficult, especially for elderly. I still say go back to manual door opening, lol. Much more class..

Could you please do a trip report on a regional train from piła główna to poznań główny i live close to there 🇵🇱

Superbe reportage !

Took train Warsaw to Krakow, then Krakow to Rzseszow (spell?) in 2008 in pursuit of ancestral research. Ran on time! Then Pszemysl to Warsaw.

Bless you for your kind act. 👍

Wow! Despite the train was crowded you made a really nice video mate! By the way, am I the only one who thought that the thumbnail was a screenshot from a train simulator? 😂 Nice vid! Greetings from Spain!

Great video as always, Poland looks like a great country to visit

Great video !!

I sure LOVE a good Polish train. I hope you got a ride on a Pendolino too? :)

Greetings from Lower Silesia!

Not surprised the train guard wasn’t friendly. I love Poland, it’s a great country and the trains are good too but the people who work in customer facing jobs (just some not all, but more then other countries) can be a bit off. Same with hungary too. Both great countries don’t get me wrong.

sounds awesome you enjoyed our trains since many people complain about them, but we still don’t have a lot of fast railways

come back to poland again and please test kibel polish premium train.

Real: PKP - Polskie Koleje Państwowe Mem: PKP - Poczekaj Kiedyś Przyjedzie Thank you for the heart!

Nice video it's a shame you couldn't do a full review because the train was very busy Warsaw central looks very futuristic like before its time

1:38 You can move from this railway station (Warszawa Centralna) to the suburban zone using underpasses only, but if you want to use the subway you should go there by tram, bus or on your foot, but remember that there's no underground connection between railway station and subway so you must go outside for a moment. Construction plans (for the underground connection between subway and railway stations) were available over 50 years ago, but something went wrong and Warsaw still hasn't got that, but it would be probably built in next 2/4 years during the big Warsaw railway renovation.

Try EIP Pendolino in first class

Super ! On attendait le nouveau trip report ;)

Nice travel. How many carriages did the train from Warsaw to Sochaczew?

The polish trains is very clean safe and enjoyable ride plus they have a dinner car and sleeping car for the long trips. Polish crew are very friendly.

y' know here in poland (almost) every platform has 2 tracks. Example: In poland Warsaw West has 8 platforms, but in other countries it would have 16 platforms.

1st-class cars running as 2nd class are quite common. Simply put, they don't have enough 2nd-class cars, so sometimes they replace them with 1st-class cars with a sticker like you can see here. These are usually older 1st-class cars, but here you got a modern one.

Nice!

Future eco power poland i see i see... beatuiful new railway station and trains by the way😉

Le train est quasi similaire à L'AM90 de la SNCB et la gare est très belle on dirait la gare de Bruxelles central

Je trouverais intéressant de préciser les prix des billets, histoire d'avoir une petite idée comparé à la SNCF

Bon vidéo monsieur! 😊

Very good video!!!

Lol, you should take the train from, say Kołobrzeg to Gdańsk. Slow, old wagons, overheated, loud. Last time I took it during summer, I fainted. I wish PKP would take care of their old wagons better, they look so cool but they're so unpractical.

I love your video. May be next time you will try Indonesian train.

Ok so for polish railroad enthusiasts people: The First class coach downgraded to second class is a Z1 type coach. I thought all of these first class car types were taken out of service for different reasons, rusting or awaiting refurbishment? in Warsaw. But I see this video from 2019 and I see it is not true. Are those cars still widely in service or was this a lonely surviving car or a supplement brought to this train?

Il sont beau le matos polonais

First class was not that used so there is oversupply of 1st class stock in running condition and no point in reaping 2nd class stock. Please ride in overcrouded TLK (Tanie linie kolejowe - cheap railway lines) this is IC brand. You will hop on late 70-ties, mid 80-ties stock only slightly refurbished and repainted with standing place because it was sooo overcrowded...

C'est cool tes bien actif et trop bien ta chaîne 🙂

Welcome in Poland :)

The train conductor couldn't care less why you're not at your sit unless you complain. And this is good. Don't look for problems. Look for solutions.

The first-class car had been downgraded to the second-class category because it is older and not comfortable as the new ones are. For example, in a few of them, there isn't any electrical outlet or air conditioning (this is standard in the first class). In the old type of the second-class compartment cars there were 8 seats in one compartment, now in standard is 6 places. That is really comfortable! If you would go a little bit longer, you will get free snacks and a cup of tea or coffé!

The occasionally rude staff is a typical remnant of old communist time era and applies to all Eastern European countries. I remeber how it was back then 10 years ago- most conductors were quite rude and didn’t speak any English nowadays it is more like up to 30% or even less, cso I can see the genuine progress in Poland as a Pole myslef.

I used to think Poland was more of a third-world Eastern Europrean country. Boy, was I wrong. Both the station and this IC blew me away. ♥

Le train est très propre.

the downgrade was because this is an old refurbished coach with no air condition. I prefer them most, one is able to open the window.

4:53 seems like SKM depot is right behind you

Depending on railway for Białystok is SPEED GAS( btw 1st class is also crouded sometomes BRUH this is not first class this is second)

2:05 if you think this is crowded, you should go to wrocław główny lol

@1:51 interesting both sides are platform 3

This train was going trough my city (krzyż)

Only Sochaczew? Łódź Fabryczna-Warszawa Centralna it's better in short distance 😊

Try trip by pendolino warsow - Krakow

Hey I’m from Poland :P

1 class is sometimes downgraded when there’s no more free coaches

A trip from Romania when?

You should really try more Polish trains. Sadly they are very usually full. 😕

(PL) Jeśli chciałbyś poznać ciemną stronę polskiej kolei kup bilet na pociąg regionalny relacji Warszawa - Radom lub na pociąg PolRegio (ENG) If you would like to know the dark side of the Polish railways, buy a ticket for a regional train from Warsaw to Radom or for the PolRegio train😉

What does it mean to downgrade a 1st class railcar to a 2nd class? (What's the visible difference?)

6:11 I don't think a train conductor could said anything what could be unkind. She could only be slightly annoyed by the fact that you are not using the service you paid for and allowing some "illegal sitting". LOL

PKP InterCity c'est bien que comme tu voyage en premier classe dans des voiture moderne, car il y à beaucoup de voiture ancienne qui sont pas très confortable et non climatisé, mais après ça dépent du trajet

Safe platforms with marking

I'm blue daba dee daba die 🤣🤣🤣

Merci j'ai beaucoup aimé Sache que le but d'un train c'est qu'il soit complet Je préfère un train complet à un train vide

3:57 indirect lighting

From Poland

Simply aviation *Simply Railway*

No train on Antrak of this level

les plus beaux voitures en europe

Dobrze że nie widział czaru tlk

6:12 what’s that

Downgrade was because that 1class was too old to be still 1class but it is still in use as second
