Our new ticketing site is now live! Using either this or the original site (both powered by TrainSplit) helps support the running of the forum with every ticket purchase! Find out more and ask any questions/give us feedback in this thread!
Prices shown are singles. You should be able to go right to the ticket office and book the ticket. It might be adviseable to take along a printout of the price list and offer name (or at least the page you are interested in), as not all ticket clerks are up on all the available offers.
There is a timetable revision taking effect on 13 March, so the final version of March-June timetable should be in place 21 days earlier (about 20 Feb.).
There is engineering work taking place on the Zakopane line, and as I understand it, through IC trains will not return until June, in time...
If the train you are looking at has the option of 3-person couchette compartments, would be your cheapest option, as the equipment is exactly the same as the sleeper! (I don't get the logic either, as the sleepers often sell out, and they could sell this as more expensive sleeper space!)
The PKP domestic supplements currently are (per person):
Single sleeper 299 zł.
Double sleeper 159 zł.
Triple sleeper 79 zł.
3- or 4-person couchette compartment 69 zł. (note: sleeping cars are used for 3-person couchettes)
6-person couchette compartment 59 zł.
A first class ticket is required...
Hello, for FIP reservations we can generally do it at face value (plus delivery cost). We charge in PLN (Polish złoty).
We cannot do SNCF FIP. You could try Togrejse in Denmark for those.
I prefer a simple interface like this; you can navigate from the keyboard.
Many newer sites are a real pain to navigate, and impossible to use without a mouse.
Just posted list of Polish cancellations:

This pretty much shuts down international rail traffic in Central Europe, as most trains transit the Czech Republic. (Warsaw-Budapest, Berlin-Vienna, etc.)
There's an ongoing discussion of this at TripAdvisor. Most recent posts (starting in January) linked here:

My complaint about Köln Hbf. is the lack of seating/benches. There's no main waiting room (that I've found) and there is only limited seating here and there spread through the commercial passages.
It will run. It's like this every year in December. First the direct trains appear in the system. Then later the through cars, which are switched between trains, appear.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
