I recently travelled on the IC 1904 direct connection from Warsaw to Lodz and was absolutely delighted. The train arrived on time to the minute with a journey time of only 1 hour and 18 minutes. The train was very well maintained and clean, and the staff were extremely friendly. And all this at a great price.
