Warsaw to Krakow & other destinations in Poland

What are the trains like?

EIP trains:  Warsaw to Krakow in 2h18 at up to 200 km/h (125 mph).

Introduced in 2014, the very best trains on the Polish network are modern bullet-nosed pendolinos, although in Poland they don't tilt into the curves.  They operate on the Krakow-Warsaw-Gdynia route at up to 125mph, with faster operation planned in the future.  Reservation is compulsory and they have a bar-bistro car.
