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.

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.
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. 😀
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
lubie jezdzic Pendolino, z Warszawy do Krakowa z Warszawy do Gdanska, super, wygodnie i szybko, mozna kupic tansze bilety miesiac wczesniej, online oczywiscie
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.
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
Overpriced, overweight, not enough space, expensive as fuck and not that fast (we came back to speeds from 70 years ago!). Plus, it's not the "pendulum" version at all. Alstom - company that was taken to court in all countries in Europe where their trains were implemented (for bribery) and only not in Poland. Generally - we have better Polish trains. It was one of the the biggest, most expensive flops of the ruling party at that time. First class is OK but 2nd class is totally mediocre. And first class ticket is like a flight ticket bought early.
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!

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
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
Prawie każdy komentarz po polsku... to narzekanie. Almost every comment in Polish... is a complaint. Cudze chwalicie, swego nie znacie. [the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence]
Polish PESA Darts are more awesome I think. With Pendolino there was a lot of bad reputation here in Poland, first they were very problematic and faulty. Later there was lack of comforts in them like wifi, charging ports etc. Now after fixing they are OK, but for the cost of traveling sometimes it's better to take second class like with PESA Dart or older ones.
I disagree, arrangement of the seats in Dart is a nightmare! I've travelled once by Dart and whole cart was looking at me, the privacy is non existent there. But about pendolino - it is masterpiece of comfy travelling (aspecially in silent zone).
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 :)
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.

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,
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 😎
Actually, the upgrade is delayed till 2025... I mean, I don't blame them. They want to keep the railway traffic flowing during the upgrading, because otherwise other railway lines would jam up.
It's a pity that they are so pricey (for Poles). And that they don't go so fast as fast trains in France or Italy. Actually it was weird that Poland bought them knowing that they won't go that fast.
They bought them for future plans of high speed railway, so they didn't have to later on. Also, aren't these Pendolino trains cheaper to maintain than traditional coach trains?
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.
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.
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.
@@NonstopEurotrip I’ve traveled on them all and the Polish pendolino service is really nothing special plus it’s much slower than many other European networks. Better than most eastern European ones I agree but slightly below average when compared to the above mentioned.
It's not even a proper pendolino tho. Pendolino is a class of tilting high-speed trains and our "pendolinos" not only cannot tilt but due to lack of good infrastructure it rarely hits speeds over 160kph (100mph)
I like the older compartment trains.......I see tis as just 'cattle class' with comfortable seats???? If I am paying extra I do not want to be sat with a whole section of the train! I doubt I will use this service......I think I can get from Rzeszow to Warsaw in style....I know I can book a very clean and modern compartment from Rzeszow to Krakow.
As someone who uses these trains quite frequently, I can unfortunately say that they are far from perfect. First of all, they are not 'true' Pendolinos - they don't tilt. As a result, they are only a bit faster than the standard Intercity- and Express Intercity-branded services. They are, however, significantly more expensive - often 40 or 50% more, for what is only a marginally better experience. PKP has arranged the schedules such that most of the trains at convenient times are Pendolinos, thus forcing you to pay more. On top this, despite not being very old, they haven't been particularly well maintained or cleaned. I was once on a train where the entire overhead screen assembly - metal housing and all - fell right down onto the aisle. Thank goodness nobody was under it, or it could have really caused serious injury.
@@ryszardadamski No w paru miejscach na Warszawa-Gdańsk Tilt mógłby coś dać. Ale na CMK i tak do niczego nie posłuży bo tow Gierek zarzadził profil na 250 km/h a na 8 za kozłowem linia jest tak kręta że i tak trzeba sie wlec i tilt nie pomoże
@@qbel4255 fakt. Pamietam pierwszy raz jak jechałem EIP z Krakowa, w pierwszym miesiacu kursowania kiedy 200 km/h bylo tylko do Włoszczowy pociag dojechał do zachodniej w 2h 5minut i stal na zachodniej 20 min czekając az go rozklad dogoni. Teraz spokojnie mógłby dojeżdżać poniżej 2 godzin - ale PIC woli rezerwy trzymać żeby nie bulic na wypadek opóźnień, zamiast te opóźnienia likwidować
@@qbel4255 Obecnie w całej Europie rezerwy pociągów z tiltem są takie, że można je zastąpić składami bez tilta bez większej straty czasu. Epoka wychylnego pudła jako remedium na niebudowanie nowych linii KDP już minęła. Zresztą wystarczy poczytać ile przebojów z problemami technicznymi i okresami dezaktywacji miały składy ICE-T w Niemczech. Trzeba budować CMK Północ w sensownym przebiegu a nie myśleć o modernizacjach bez efektów z kwiatkiem do kożucha w postaci tilta.

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.
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!
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. 😀
😅😅😅
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!
Amazing 👏
Top video! In Nederland kunnen ze hier nog wat van leren!
lubie jezdzic Pendolino, z Warszawy do Krakowa z Warszawy do Gdanska, super, wygodnie i szybko, mozna kupic tansze bilety miesiac wczesniej, online oczywiscie
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!
Dzieło inż. Karwowskiego trzyma się krzepko !
I tak ma być.
I have to say that Pendolino design makes the train look like it's smiling 😅 thanks for the review
Almost identical to the Avanti West Coast Class 390 Pendolinos used on the West Coast Main Line. Very nice. 😄
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
Beautiful train and journey!
Yes it was!
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 😂
Overpriced, overweight, not enough space, expensive as fuck and not that fast (we came back to speeds from 70 years ago!). Plus, it's not the "pendulum" version at all. Alstom - company that was taken to court in all countries in Europe where their trains were implemented (for bribery) and only not in Poland. Generally - we have better Polish trains. It was one of the the biggest, most expensive flops of the ruling party at that time. First class is OK but 2nd class is totally mediocre. And first class ticket is like a flight ticket bought early.
Give me a train anyday. I'm on an EIP tomorrow actually 😃
PENDOLINO jest SUPER, BRAWO ITALIA, szkoda że nie jeżdżą do Olsztyna
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!
✋ 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 😊

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
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
Prawie każdy komentarz po polsku... to narzekanie. Almost every comment in Polish... is a complaint.
Cudze chwalicie, swego nie znacie. [the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence]
Still Poland's best train 🙃
Other than price (for Polish people) it's very cool. :]
Polish PESA Darts are more awesome I think. With Pendolino there was a lot of bad reputation here in Poland, first they were very problematic and faulty. Later there was lack of comforts in them like wifi, charging ports etc. Now after fixing they are OK, but for the cost of traveling sometimes it's better to take second class like with PESA Dart or older ones.
I will try soon 😃
I disagree, arrangement of the seats in Dart is a nightmare! I've travelled once by Dart and whole cart was looking at me, the privacy is non existent there. But about pendolino - it is masterpiece of comfy travelling (aspecially in silent zone).
Nie trolluj funboyu Pesy.
Isn't it opposite?
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.
Pociąg jest najlepszy ❤️

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 love your shots!Brilliant!♡
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
For class 2 as a collage student the tickets are 51% off
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 🙂
till the end of 2023 this line is supposed to be upgraded for 250 kmh speed
Excellent 😊
@@NonstopEurotrip Top speed 292 kph
ua-cam.com/video/s84KcUnPN5Y/v-deo.html
Actually, the upgrade is delayed till 2025...
I mean, I don't blame them. They want to keep the railway traffic flowing during the upgrading, because otherwise other railway lines would jam up.
It's a pity that they are so pricey (for Poles). And that they don't go so fast as fast trains in France or Italy. Actually it was weird that Poland bought them knowing that they won't go that fast.
Hopefully, one day!
Bought for fun
They bought them for future plans of high speed railway, so they didn't have to later on.
Also, aren't these Pendolino trains cheaper to maintain than traditional coach trains?
What happened to Warsaw's classic old station? Was it destroyed during WWII?
"Classic old station" did not exist before IIWW.

@@ryszardadamski Thank you.
@@ryszardadamski I love old Vienna Station in Warsaw? Thanks for posting.✌
Great video !!
second class tez jest super !
I miss the magic of rail travel. Used to love it and enjoy every ride, day or night!
Couldn't agree more!
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.
If it would only go faster than an average InterCity train... but it does not. In fact it's sometimes cheaper and faster to take a plane.
So accurate 😁 plane ticket can cost around 70 zł if you're lucky 😅
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.
But those prices bruh.. now its 169 for the 2nd class and 239 for the 1st
It’s still worse than the Italian, Spanish or Austrian trains.
Not necessarily!
@@NonstopEurotrip I’ve traveled on them all and the Polish pendolino service is really nothing special plus it’s much slower than many other European networks. Better than most eastern European ones I agree but slightly below average when compared to the above mentioned.
2:45?? I've traveled 2:15 couple of years ago.
Track work, I think!
Yeah, especially when it’s 5 hours late...

That's a rare occurence, only happens during specific time periods.

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 😄
meanwhile polish people now: "How dare you increase ticket price by 17%!!!!!!!"
😅😅😅
Absolutely ridiculous train route idea : Highspeed rail Berlin HBF to Warszawa Centralna
Absolute madness 😂
Why not extend it to Cologne? I mean, at least the train would reach its top speed.
It's not even a proper pendolino tho. Pendolino is a class of tilting high-speed trains and our "pendolinos" not only cannot tilt but due to lack of good infrastructure it rarely hits speeds over 160kph (100mph)
I like the older compartment trains.......I see tis as just 'cattle class' with comfortable seats???? If I am paying extra I do not want to be sat with a whole section of the train! I doubt I will use this service......I think I can get from Rzeszow to Warsaw in style....I know I can book a very clean and modern compartment from Rzeszow to Krakow.
Why?
@@NonstopEurotrip I don't like people...I don't like people like you who are happy to sit 'cattle class'.
I am polish, and it’s not entirely truth. Trains are usually late and pendolino is like 5% of all pkp’s trains
Last time I've heard the on time arrival of trains was at 78%, so it's not bad - actually better than in Germany.
As someone who uses these trains quite frequently, I can unfortunately say that they are far from perfect. First of all, they are not 'true' Pendolinos - they don't tilt. As a result, they are only a bit faster than the standard Intercity- and Express Intercity-branded services. They are, however, significantly more expensive - often 40 or 50% more, for what is only a marginally better experience. PKP has arranged the schedules such that most of the trains at convenient times are Pendolinos, thus forcing you to pay more. On top this, despite not being very old, they haven't been particularly well maintained or cleaned. I was once on a train where the entire overhead screen assembly - metal housing and all - fell right down onto the aisle. Thank goodness nobody was under it, or it could have really caused serious injury.
Tilt jest potrzebny jak kurwie majtki.
@@ryszardadamski No w paru miejscach na Warszawa-Gdańsk Tilt mógłby coś dać. Ale na CMK i tak do niczego nie posłuży bo tow Gierek zarzadził profil na 250 km/h a na 8 za kozłowem linia jest tak kręta że i tak trzeba sie wlec i tilt nie pomoże
Inna sprawa jest taka, że EIP mają spore rezerwy czasowe. Gdzieś czytałem że skład zastępczy z EP09 i wagonów (VMax 160) nie miał w ogóle opóźnienia
@@qbel4255 fakt. Pamietam pierwszy raz jak jechałem EIP z Krakowa, w pierwszym miesiacu kursowania kiedy 200 km/h bylo tylko do Włoszczowy pociag dojechał do zachodniej w 2h 5minut i stal na zachodniej 20 min czekając az go rozklad dogoni. Teraz spokojnie mógłby dojeżdżać poniżej 2 godzin - ale PIC woli rezerwy trzymać żeby nie bulic na wypadek opóźnień, zamiast te opóźnienia likwidować
@@qbel4255 Obecnie w całej Europie rezerwy pociągów z tiltem są takie, że można je zastąpić składami bez tilta bez większej straty czasu. Epoka wychylnego pudła jako remedium na niebudowanie nowych linii KDP już minęła. Zresztą wystarczy poczytać ile przebojów z problemami technicznymi i okresami dezaktywacji miały składy ICE-T w Niemczech.
Trzeba budować CMK Północ w sensownym przebiegu a nie myśleć o modernizacjach bez efektów z kwiatkiem do kożucha w postaci tilta.
Well done 👍
If you dont know how to say Kraków in English call it Cracow thank me later
Crackov actually...
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 😎

Travelling From Town To Town is So Needed

Coraz dłuższa ta podróż... 🙄
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.
The only problem is the ticket price. Warsaw-Krakow is more expensive than IC Munchen-Berlin, and Germans earn 3x than Polish.
True, yes!
You're comparing a developed country to one that was in crisis and had to stand back up.
You're lucky that your trains wasn't late... We've seen 24 hour delays...
Lol not on this route
Never heard of 24 hour delays.
