Introduction

PKP now releases PDFs for both part and all of the current timetable year so this 2018 list is based on services shown either in those relevant to 10 March 2017, or covering the full year to 8 December 2017 suggesting unusual lines use commencing later in 2018. Travellers are strongly advised to check the Journey Planners for ALL Unusual lines timings as changes can and are made on a regular basis.

In 2016 a number of one off specials were included in the full year PDFs but this has not occurred since. These were mainly

Many involve the Wolsztyn steam engines and freight only track but not all visited on these Tours will be EGTRE Unusual Line entries. Anyone interested is strongly advised to become familiar with their website as examples in 2017 included trips to Miedzychod [both routes], Kruszwica, Czarnkow, Gniezno via Kcynia to Naklo and Szubin from Bydgoszcz and details of a 24 February 2018 Tour covering Brodnica - Rypin – Sierpc by DMU are already available!

  • Special services run by PKP-PR for the Woodstock Festival Poland (Przystanek Woodstock), the largest Free annual music festival in Europe held at Kostrzyn. In 2018 it is from 2-4 August. Note these trains require special tickets; normal PKP tickets are not valid and details of the 2017 services appeared when the Summer period PDFs were released.

Standard abbreviations used are explained in General Information. Map references to pages in the "Mały Atlas Linii Kolejowych Polski 2011", ISBN 978-83-931006-3-7, published by Wydawnictwo Eurosprinter, are shown in italics eg R14.

For details of recent and near future route openings and closures, please refer to Poland - General Information.

Corridor Trains

The following sections of line within Poland can be ridden only in the through (corridor) trains of neighbouring administrations:

  • (Hagenwerder [Germany] -) frontier - Ręcszyn - (- Krzewina Zgorzelecka -) Trzciniec Zgorzelecki - frontier (- Hirschfelde [Germany]) (36A2): DB table 220. The section between Ręcszyn and Trzciniec Zgorzelecki is traversed only by trains on DB table 220 (Zittau - Görlitz, presently operated by Connex/Lausitzbahn) as PKP trains on table 260 were withdrawn with the 2000/01 timetable.
  • (Zittau [Germany] -) frontier - frontier (- Hrádek nad Nisou [Czech Republic]) (36A2): ČD table 089. There are no stations in Poland on this line.
  • Głuchołazy - frontier (- Jindřichov ve Slezsku [Czech Republic]) (37A1): Through Krnov – Jesenik trains on ČD table 292 use PKP tracks in and out of Głuchołazy as there is no triangle here and the approximately 13km of PKP tracks east of Głuchołazy are only traversed by ČD services. From 10 December 2006 ČD services call to set down and pick up at Głuchołazy.
