Good news: PKP InterCity has a new interface which makes booking Interrail reservations MUCH easier and simpler than before

Less good news: they forgot to translate the error messages 馃榾

So a quick translate leads me to conclude that if I don't want a quiet carriage I am OK 馃憣

(and I am SO MUCH looking forward to this next month: going to corners of Poland I have never visited, and also going - finally! - to Gda艅sk. One of my favourite countries to travel by train!)

Portal Pasa偶era is my go-to site for data on trains in Poland portalpasazera.pl/en/

And it does have translations

I can hence tell IC 23112 Hrubiesz贸w Miasto - Zamo艣膰 is not compulsory reservation (which is useful), but what is "transport of conductor deliveries" 馃
Departure Train Informations about the train station Hrubieszów Miasto platform / track Platform 1 Track 1 departure time 06:47 departure date 26.05.2025 departure number 23112 carrier PKP Intercity S.A. train name HETMAN train number 23112 trading category InterCity Please note that the services available on the train may vary on individual sections of the route.

@jon the only trains with compulsory reservations are IC trains using ED161 (going onto bocznica.eu and typing in ED161 will show all of them, but most of them are on the Wroc艂aw-艁贸d藕-Warsaw-Bialystok/Lublin and Bydgoszcz-Warsaw lines) as well as EIP trains, so you can actually just hop in, you also don't actually need a reservation for EIC.

@jon and yes, ED161 having reservations is peculiar but there always was some bs going on around them

@jeder DB shows them with the R in a square. I just wanted to check that was right (and it is 馃榾)

And in reality I have chanced it often in Poland and it was fine!

@jeder @jon except for the international ones where it's marked as mandatory but only sometimes they actually ask for the seat reservations

@ptrc @jon yeah but even then that's just for the border, I wonder if you can trick that actually

@jeder @jon i mean yeah, on the Berlin-bound trains technically you can just buy a seat reservation from/to Rzepin and pay 3 PLN online instead of... 20, at the register, because the website is bugged and says "No offers" again
