PKP Intercity is operating select InterCity (IC) trains with substitute rolling stock on Sunday, March 8, 2026, according to a statement released by the rail operator. The changes are part of a broader spring schedule adjustment impacting rail services across Poland, effective through June 13, 2026.
The affected IC trains include the 1624/5 “KRASIŃSKI” service between Białystok and Wrocław Główny, which will operate with one first-class and six second-class carriages, including a wheelchair-accessible carriage. A dining car will not be available on this service. The return journey, IC 6124/5 “KRASIŃSKI” from Wrocław Główny to Białystok, will have the same carriage configuration and lack of dining car.
IC 4128/9 “PILECKI”, running from Żywiec to Warszawa Wschodnia, will consist of one first-class, one half-first/half-second class, and five second-class carriages, also with wheelchair accessibility but no dining car. Similarly, IC 1620/1 “ASNYK” between Warszawa Wschodnia and Wrocław Główny will operate with the same carriage arrangement and without a dining car.
The IC 6126/7 “LEŚMIAN” service, traveling from Wrocław Główny to Białystok, will also utilize substitute rolling stock with one first-class, one half-first/half-second class, and five second-class carriages, including wheelchair access, but no dining car.
PKP Intercity also announced an operational issue affecting IC 8308/9 “WYCZÓŁKOWSKI”, traveling from Świnoujście to Przemyśl Główny, on March 8, 2026. Due to delays, passengers were redirected to KD 76410 from Zielona Góra Główna to Wrocław Główny and IC 8310/1 “KOSSAK” from Kołobrzeg to Przemyśl Główny for portions of their journey. The “KOSSAK” service will bypass the stations of Kędzierzyn-Koźle and Katowice. Carriages from VIA REGIA train 66008 were added to the IC 8310/1 service to accommodate passengers.
These changes coincide with a wider spring schedule adjustment for PKP Intercity and Polregio, implemented due to ongoing modernization work on the rail infrastructure, according to RMF24. Koleje Mazowieckie is also experiencing disruptions, particularly on the R7 line towards Dęblin, with significant service interruptions expected between April 12-26. Utrudnienia are also anticipated on lines R1, R2, R3, R31, R61, R81.
The recent schedules are in effect until June 13, 2026. PKP Intercity encourages passengers to monitor announcements for updates and to submit complaints regarding travel comfort through their website or at ticket offices.
