Rail Transport in Poland - Non-PKP Services

Non-PKP Services

  • Przewozy Regionalne - formerly a part of PKP group, now owned by regional authorities of the 16 voivodeships. The company operates local passenger trains (under the REGIO brand) financed by local governments, some low-cost long-distance trains (interREGIO) and some short-distance international trains operated jointly with DB Regio (REGIOekspres). Passenger trains are rather slow and are mostly run using electric multiple units and diesel railcars/railbuses. InterREGIO trains are often faster than TLK trains, but consist of EMUs or older cars.
  • Deutsche Bahn
    • DB Regio have connections from some Polish close border stations (Gorzów, Kostrzyn, Szczecin) with DB network with local trains (on the Polish parts of their routes these trains are generally operated by Przewozy Regionalne).
    • Arriva RP (a wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn) is a regional operator on non-electrified lines in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian and Pomeranian regions
  • Koleje Dolnośląskie is a regional operator on a few lines in Lower Silesia.
  • Koleje Mazowieckie is a regional operator on all lines in Masovian Voivodeship, including Warsaw.
  • Koleje Śląskie
