How to travel by train from Warsaw by Gdasnk

Book early and save: Yes

Online bookings open: 30 days ahead of the travel date

As will be seen when looking up journeys on PKP, the train service between Warszawa and Gdańsk  is split between;

1 - these EIP (Pendolino) trains (the most frequent service on the route)
2 – these EIC trains
3 – other slower TLK trains

On this route, when booking in advance  it's worth comparing the prices between the EIP and EIC trains, particularly if an EIC train will be departing at around a time that suits you.

Tickets for the EIC trains are usually cheaper than the EIP trains and the difference in journey time can be as little as 10 mins.

However, on this route those TLK trains can be cheapest of all, particularly when the cheapest tickets for the EIP and EIC trains have sold out.

Using Rail Passes:

Rail pass users will need to make reservations before boarding these trains; but taking the EIC trains, or those TLK trains, will be cheaper, as explained here.

Book the reservations at a station when you arrive in Poland.
