According to rynek-kolejowy.pl, PKP Intercity has not yet reached an agreement with the Czech Republic regarding the addition of a sleeping car or couchette to the Baltic Express, which, despite its long route, will not have sleeping accommodations. The restaurant car will only be available on the Polish section of the route.
Starting in mid-December, Polish State Railways (PKP Intercity) will operate a total of 505 long-distance connections, 51 more than the previous year.
A new feature will be additional services from Przemyśl, located near the Polish-Ukrainian border in the southeastern part of Poland, to the northernmost areas along the Baltic Sea coast.
