I work as a train conductor on board of the EIP services with my base in Kraków, it's fantastic to see when someone really appreciates our hard work for our passengers
Thank you 😊🙏🏻
Is it worth to travel from Krakow to Warsaw once in a week for work? Please let me know.
@@shruthisv6781 depends on your work opportunity I guess.
do u still work? how is it now?
@@myliebiii Yep, I do :) I got the promotion and currently I still work on board of EIP trains, but as a train manager now ^^ Nothing changed tbh since my last comment, everything looks exactly the same. The seats in 1st class are most commonly for 259 PLN on the Warsaw-Krakow route, in 2nd class prices start from 49 PLN, the most expensive tickets are for 169 PLN. It depends mainly on whether there is plenty of free seats or not.
Must say I love the public transport and trains in Poland! Absolutely amazing! You will understand that if you live in Australia or US
I am traveling to Poland in August from Sydney and definitely will use train travel all over Poland !
@@ea6398 yes I first went to Poland in 1988[from Australia) and their trains were just awful....but now....what a difference....I do thinks that Sydney has good public transport(and getting better all the time)...but our long distance trains here are a bit dismal...
@@terencemccarthy8615 Yes I agree.. Long distance train are old and uncomfortable ! Public transport is getting better but not always is on time ? Also depending we’re are you live ? In some areas buses start at 7 am when people go to work at 6 am
Yes 1988 Poland was still communist state! But trust me ? You going to be shocked haw the country develops? Today Poland is fourth largest economy in Europe!
@@ea6398 oh yes I know...I’ve been back twice since and am amazed at the turnaround..
What USA is the best country and my dream in living
I love the sleek design and color scheme of Polish Pendolino trains.
Pendolino is Italian

Another awesome vlog from the best train channel on YT! Love the Polish Pendolino train sets, can't wait to visit and try them out. Oh and thanks to all the POLISH people for being so kind and graciously helping the UKRAINE people! They all get a NOBLE Peace prize for this!
Thank you ☺️
We don't want the Nobel Prize. We want fair financial aid from the EU to war refugees. Greetings from Poland.
Thank you Todd🥰 Dziękujemy.
You can clearly see that the train system and the trains themselves are much better than any rail system in the USA.
But living on streets in California is better than any place in Europe , isn't ?
I am proud of my country, and that over the years from a poor country it joins the ranks of the rich and developed countries
Love Poland 🙂
hahahahaahah!!! BUAHAHAHAHA
@@Sponsi_PL ?
Yes,Poland today is a dynamic prosperous ,and popular,EU nation

Partner and I caught the Pendo Warsaw-Krakow return a few times in 2018. Wonderful experience, clean comfy, tasty snacks. This beats the heck out of trains in Australia and Canada!
I’m very impressed! The speed and how quiet it was was really nice… it’s a beautiful train.
I think there was some beautiful scenery….. lots of country and rolling hills. Not boring at all!
Thank you for a great video.

Glad you enjoyed it Kathy 😌
Great trip report and I must say, I am actually getting fond of that pendolino livery it looks amazing just like its Italian counterpart.
😎😎😎
There's nothing so comforting as having a great journey that you paid so little for!
Its not little.
@@cokolwiekcokolwiek5376 It is for foreigners, and comparing to other EU countries, but for Poles it's i think avarage, or slightly above average price for long distance trains.
He paid so little because he booked 4 weeks in advance. Regular price is double what he paid but it's still quiet affordable. Especially for foreigners.
and now its possible to travel for evenn less
Yes, Pendolino in Poland is really great train.
Less than 600 km in 8 hours. Average 75 km/h. The TGV from Paris to Sete in the south of France (750 km) takes 3.5 hours. The average is about 200 km/h. The French have over 700 such trains. And how much are we? 10 pindolino. It's been 10 years since we bought them. Does anyone still want to compare us to France?
Nice review Max. Love those Pendolinos.
I love pierogies too.
Thank you😀😀💚💚
I love Poland
I love you for saying this !!!
Great report as always, and good to see a quality product. Also nice to notice that the food wasn't overpriced.
Actually there is sit down area for WARS. The seats between accessible WC and the wars compartment at 11:27 - 11:33 😊
I love your shots!Brilliant!♡
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for the review of this really swish PKP pendolino service. The interior and exterior both look great and you get WARS service to your seat - railway heaven!
Absolutely 🤗
I always travel from the seaside all the way down north, from the very first step I go to Wars and get drunk and I love this, you're not bothered and just chill observing world around you, I love travelling with this train.
I miss Warsaw and Poland as such. Beautiful country. Fond memories
Definitely agree 👍🏻💯

Polish trains are high quality and worth of attention
Pendolina is italian. Poland got in barter deal ( FIAT 500 production for pendolino )
@@pgornicki yeah, thats not the point of his comment though
Yeah but not this italian crap. Try PESA or Newag (Dart and the other one I can't remember).
@@Sponsi_PL Dart (PESA) and Flirt (Newag). The second ones aren't very comfortable, at least in second class

I really like your videos, it's very calm and relaxing that you shoot them in first person view instead of making a vlog where you talk and talk like other youtubers. Nothing wrong with that, but after a busy day, your videos are way more enjoyable 😎
Thank you for your lovely comment 🙂
I miss the magic of rail travel. Used to love it and enjoy every ride, day or night!
Couldn't agree more!
Thanks a lot for another very nice vidéo.It is good to have more and more videos about Poland.This was not the case before.I think that Poland is very much worth a visit by train....These Pendolino trains look fantastic and very comfortable.....
Absolutely 🤗
Video not vidxo
Stupid
I have to say that Pendolino design makes the train look like it's smiling 😅 thanks for the review
Missed this video when you first released it but glad I have now as I'm thinking of making a trip to Poland. The EIP looks just the sort of ride I'd look forward to.
You should!
We visited Poland a few years ago.The lady we stayed with took us to Warsaw and on a standard inter city train,We had to buy refreshments to take with us because there wasn't a buffet car on the train,But there was a trolley service for the first half hour of the journey! The train coaches where from the 1960 going by the style
Great video !!
Great video!! Thanks
Amazing 👏
Beautiful train and journey!
Yes it was!
It is lovely train.
Polish people stop complain about everything and try to use any train and pay very high price for any train ticket in England. Than we can compare is Pendolino good or bad. Lovely video, thanks.

The food looked tasty, glad you got something decent to eat!
Almost identical to the Avanti West Coast Class 390 Pendolinos used on the West Coast Main Line. Very nice. 😄
Sorry for arriving late, I'm in the mountains right now, at a low-internet coverage zone. I needed to watch it at the lowest video quality that CZcams offers
Oof that sucks, especially cause these are really beautiful trains.
Ah yes, the ED250 EMU... The Express intercity premium... I love riding the pendolino if it's a trip or if it's work, you cannot deny the polish high speed railway... Thanks for visiting us!
Hopefully they'll run at 250kmh soon!
second class tez jest super !
Fantastic 👍
Well done 👍
I love it!
in SimRail, the Express trains only take an hour, but maybe because there is not as much traffic in it as there is in reality. (Also, that one is numbered in the 8000s, so it has lower priority than the
Regarding your comment at 13:31: that is very scenic compared to nearly all the railway lines here in the Netherlands. 😄
I suggest you visit the Łódź Fabryczna railway station in Poland. A very modern railway station in Poland. It seems to me that it is the most modern station in Poland.
I actually meant to last month, but I ended up in Poznan with a friend instead! Next time 🙂
Quick and dirty trip!

You managed to keep your white shoes so clean! ;)
I try 🤣
Great trip. Regards
Amazing video, i enjoyed it! I love train vlogs
Really special BRO 😘😘
Thanks 👍🏻
I have been travelling with second class all my life due to the lower ticket price in Poland and I was satisfied especially with the old trains where you can open a window.
I love them too 😁
HELLO😂, PLANING A TRIP TO POLAND NEXT AUG, 2024. CANT WAIT TO TRY OUT THE TRAINS! WARSAW, KRACOW, AND GDANSK. EUROPEAN TRAINS PUT OUR "" AMTRAK TRAINS TO SHAME IN US.LOL😂😂😂. I NEVER KNEW POLAND HAD SO MANY TRAINS! THIS PKP IS GORGEOUS. IAM POLISH AMERICAN, STILL CAN SPEAK PRETTY FLUENTLY. WE SPOKE IT AT HOME, NEVER ENGLISH😅. THANKS 4 A NICE VIDEO, JOSEPH, IN US.
Awesone train
Beautifu journey🌹
Love from pakistan🌹
EIC (yours is EIP) seems to have better first class as I board it twice a month. I always select the first seat near doors to the steering room and it’s great. No people. Big leg room
Nice video
Very nice 👌
Thanks 😊
lubie jezdzic Pendolino, z Warszawy do Krakowa z Warszawy do Gdanska, super, wygodnie i szybko, mozna kupic tansze bilety miesiac wczesniej, online oczywiscie
Furthermore now PKP has a new pricing system which allows to travel for sometimes 20 zloty (about 5 euros) in first class, also Wars has a feature that allows you to order food by smartphone which comes in handy
Excellent!
Nice
To jest prawdziwa lux torpeda.
Rewelka....
I remember my trip in polish Pendolino, because there was a little bag with 2 iPhones between my seat and wall and someone was constantly calling to them. I hope they really returned it to owners after I gave it to train staff. 😀
😅😅😅
Poland 🇵🇱💕💕💕💪
😍😍😍
Top video! In Nederland kunnen ze hier nog wat van leren!
It's a good train!
Thank you for rating my Polish trains i from Poland and i like driving my trains🇵🇱🚅
Nice 😊
I took Pendolino's 1st class while returning from Warsaw to Kraków a week ago. It's the same as on video: smooth, comfy, clean with fantastic service. By the way, this PKP's café Wars added a mobile app, so now you can make an order right to your seat from your smartphone.
Thanks for sharing!
Other than price (for Polish people) it's very cool. :]
Waw-krk base price is always minimum 169pln, so u had to have a discount and for polish people it is very expensive and on this route there are mainly this type of train and cheaper ones fo 60pln are 1/2x per day and much longer time travel
I've just checked and found 139pln tickets available on EIP services
@@NonstopEurotrip It all depends. If you are buying ticket earlier - 30 days for example, there is big discount. Also there is a small pool of cheaper tickets on every EIP.
@@hynol yeah, indeed, you just have to buy the tickets early
PENDOLINO jest SUPER, BRAWO ITALIA, szkoda że nie jeżdżą do Olsztyna
take your time at Warsaw Central because since 2024 it will be closed until 2027/8 because of massive rebuilt of the tunnel, and the whole main line between Warsaw West and Warsaw East, every station/stop (Central also) and Vistula river bridge included ;)
They should rebuild the station as well…it’s a bit grungy
@@petern6808 They put it on the list of monuments, so unfortunately it will remain as it is
@@petern6808 Built under communism (in the 1970s).
Wait what? I have never heard of it happening. I thought they'll begin renovating the East station instead.
@@JaNieWie West Station is actually at the end of constructions, construction on the East Station begins next year
O Pendolino muszę powiedzieć że podoba mi się wyciszenie podoba mi się obsługa podoba mi się miejsce Jakie jest w środku ale nie podoba mi się to że Pendolino jest bardzo często opóźnione i jest notorycznie problem z internetem ceny są również wysokie zwłaszcza że często na tej samej trasie Ice lub TLK jest wolniejszy o 15 lub 25 minut. Jeżdżę często Pendolino Pozdrawiam
A jeździ Bydgoszcz/Toruń => Warszawa już?
Niestety, ale sie zgadzam. Również czesto się przemieszczam EIP. Nie zdarzyło mi się żeby ten kilku milionowy złom przyjechał na czas. Często nawet podstawiaja zastepczy, a reklamacji PKP nie uznaje.
Szkoda tylko ze jedzie 120kmh, a nie 200
@@_.._.._ przecież jedzie 200

Poland!! 💪😍😍😍💪
I always travel in the last (7) car. The last car is a car of silence - you cannot talk there, listen to music without headphones, you have to mute your mobile phone ..... complete relaxation and rest. :)
For class 2 as a collage student the tickets are 51% off
4:29 you have made a zoom on city where i live lol
Pendolino only looks and feels good but its not good for price to performance ratio. I live in Kraków and i often travel to Warsaw. It takes 2H 30 min for the journey and cost 169zl usually. Go on a normal IC and it will take 3H10min for the same route for 70zl. Would only recommend Pendolino you travel from Krakow to Gdansk since its a much longer route. I always prefer IC over pendolino and hate TLK which just sucks.
I agree, I love a full WARS 🤩
✋ Extra, good job 👏👌
Wow nice view, I like to see new places ✌
Great movie 👍 Bravo 👋
And I have a new movie from a walk around the city 😊

Dzieło inż. Karwowskiego trzyma się krzepko !
I tak ma być.
I have a good tip for foreigners. If you want to travel cheap by trains in Poland (especially by Pendolino) you have to buy tickets exactly one month before you are going to travel. I have travelled a lot between Kraków - Kołobrzeg (that's at least twice further than the distance in this video) by Pendolino and if you hunt for a ticket precisely one month before, straight after 12:00 am you can get it for 120 PLN for a route twice longer than here in the video.
Great information 🙂
@@NonstopEurotrip now thats not actual, there is new ticket price system.
This looks like a great value for money! I find it such a shame that, for a flagship train, 1st Class doesn't seem to have a very premium feel at all. But for the price I guess you cannot complain, right?
Awesome video :)
I never complain 😝
@@NonstopEurotrip no, as a Frenchman that is my role hehe
First class is basically for the MPs not to have to seat with the common folk (they get free tickets), nobody in their right mind pays extra for first class on those unless 2nd is fully booked. The 2nd class is way too nice and, as many have noted, the first is really not all that much of an upgrade...
@@JeremiCzarnecki Well... First class have 1+2 seating, some complimentary food and drinks and you can order food and have it served at your seat by the staff. I have only been to Poland once, about two months ago amd then I took the IEP from Gdansk to Katowice to meet two young refugees from Ukraine. I was very pleased with the experiance, and I don't think ther where that many MP:s in first class - probarbly none.
Going home we took regular IC trains to Swinoujscie which was quite a different experiene, but OK considering the sitiation - the train was overloaded with refugees.
Thomas from Stockholm
You can order food to your seat in 2nd class as well, not sure if 2nd class still gets coffee and tea but they used to. The only difference is 2+1 seating really.
There are 460 MPs who travel constantly. Rarely do I take an EIP without at least one on board.
£25 for that service is amazing
Yes for sure!
Travelling From Town To Town is So Needed
Every Who 5-10 Times per Year Travelling is More Open Minded Human Being
A service that was desperately needed in one of Europe's most car-centric countries.
You wouldn't believe that when a fully loaded TLK departs Warszawa Centralna 😂
I’m wondering where to buy the tickets online 4 weeks in advance as Omio isn’t showing any train tickets that far ahead.

i was on this train with you!
🙏🏻🙂
291km/181miles taking 2hr 45mins, that's like an average speed of 67mph (105kph).
Is that RAIL Line a dedicated HSL or mixed us. I travelled on Frances TGV and the Spanish equivalent a similar distance would take like 75 mins max and have just 1 or 2 stops. Just out of curiosity how many stops did this route have.
Mixed use, quite a few stops
The quickest connection right now is about 2:30 hrs. It was and is supposed to come down to under 2 hours (likely around 1:50 hrs) eventually but the modernisation of stations along the way is mostly what's stalling it and (plus just the overall laxed attitude towards timeframes demonstrated by the track management company PLK). This line will remain a mixed use line and Poland is planning to build a separate HSL, however it is progressing extremely slowly. It is absolutely true though that the train is very comfortable and it's a joy to ride.
I am a little surprised that the travel time is quite that lengthy between Warszawa Centralna and Kraków Główny. That is a travel time I would expect from Warszawa Wschodnia. I don't think I have used the Pendolino yet, but there are other express trains on offer that, last time I checked, could make the trip in 2 h 20 min.
I think there was quite a lengthy speed reduction due to track works
@@NonstopEurotrip Upgrading to 250 km/h
Hi Eurotrip! I couldn't find anything online about the complementary brioche served in fist class. Do you know if it is still available?
They do change the complimentary menu around, but there's always 3 options Inc vegetarian 😎

Nice post only thing I find negative about these push me pull me trains is not facing the way you are going I know on the return route it’ll be ok and I don’t suffer from travel sickness but I have traveled with people who got nauseous travelling with their back to the engine, good post though,
well the seating arrangement is pretty much the same for carriages with a loco
I travel today to gdansk to katowice urghh it’s soo far. The weather is hot today, no aircon in 2nd class train.
Must have been a TLK 😄
PERFECTION would it be if that were a Polish train!
