Significance

The Pendolino ED250 became the flagship train of PKP Intercity and a symbol of Polish railways entering the era of high-speed passenger connections. The fleet of 20 trainsets serves Express InterCity Premium connections linking Warsaw with, among others, Gdańsk, Wrocław, Katowice and Krakow, as well as with smaller centres such as Rzeszów, Gliwice, Bielsko-Biała and Kołobrzeg. During the first ten years of operation (2014–2024), the ED250 trainsets carried more than 39 million passengers and covered a total of approximately 70 million kilometres, running an average of about 22 thousand km per day.
