Holiday Travel by Regional Trains
This year’s summer weather encourages people to spend their free time by the water. In the middle of the holiday season, our trains “Borsuk”, “Rybitwa” and “Latarnik” are the perfect choice for trips to the seaside and lakes. In just a few hours, passengers can reach the Baltic beaches or the wilderness of the Tuchola Forest. We invite you to take advantage of our summer offer of regional passenger rail services.
“Our holiday trains provide an affordable and fast way to reach popular leisure destinations while avoiding traffic jams on the roads. I am convinced that our offer is a perfect solution!” – encourages Marshal Piotr Całbecki.
