6. 11. 2024 - 9:03

České dráhy has launched the sale of tickets for Baltic express services. The new line, which is to connect the Czech Republic with the Polish Tri-City by a direct train, will first run with the beginning of the new timetable on 15 December. It will offer 4 pairs of trains per day. On their way to the Baltic Sea coast, the trains will also stop in Kłodzko, Wrocław, Poznań, Bydgoszcz or Gdańsk. Tickets and seat reservations can be purchased at the ticket offices of České dráhy, in the e-shop on www.cd.cz or in the My Train mobile application.

“In less than one and a half months we will start the operation of our new international line called ‘Baltic express’, which is to be operated in cooperation with the Polish carrier ‘PKP Intercity’. We will offer an unbeatable connection for those who want to travel to the beauty of our northern neighbours and the Baltic Sea coast in a comfortable and environment-friendly way by train. The journey between Prague and Wrocław will take less than 4 hours, making it the fastest train connection in history,” says Michal Krapinec, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Director General of České dráhy, continuing, “The journey to Poznań will then take approximately 5.5 hours and you will be in Gdańsk in approximately 8.5 hours.”

The new train services will depart from Prague Main Station every day at 6:51, 10:51, 14:50 and 18:51 hours. In the Czech Republic, they will also stop in Kolín, Pardubice, Ústí nad Orlicí, Letohrad, Jablonné nad Orlicí and Lichkov. In Poland, they will continue via Kłodzko, Wrocław, Poznań and Bydgoszcz to Gdańsk, Sopot and Gdynia. However, they will also stop in other tourist and economic centres of Poland.

On the territory of the Czech Republic, the trains will consist of a total of 4 carriages, including one first class carriage. Refreshments in the form of an on-board minibar will be available on the board of the trains on the territory of the Czech Republic. Additional carriages, including a dining car, will be added in Wrocław and will be operated with the PKP Intercity rolling stock. The trains will also offer passengers, for example, an on-board Wi-Fi network or the possibility of charging travel electronics. The trains will include carriages for wheelchair users and bicycle transport.

The earlier you buy, the cheaper you can go

As with other long-distance trains of the national carrier, those who want to travel as cheaply as possible should purchase their tickets as far in advance as possible. “I recommend you not to delay unnecessarily in getting a ticket. If you buy it well in advance, it will cost you less than 400 crowns to get to Wrocław, while prices to the Baltic Sea start at around 750 crowns. Moreover, you will avoid the risk that the train may be sold out and you will have to reschedule your journey,” states Mr. Krapinec, highlighting the benefits of purchasing travel documents in good time.

When purchasing tickets online for the Baltic express to Poland, it is also possible to obtain a free reservation, which is essential for travelling on the Polish territory.
