Reading Polish station names

Large Polish cities have several stations, and the suffix tells them apart: Główny or Główna means main (Kraków Główny is Krakow's main station), Centralna means central (Warszawa Centralna), Wschodnia east, Zachodnia west and Miasto city. Departure boards, tickets and announcements use the Polish names, so it helps to know the one you need.

Long-distance trains are run by PKP Intercity; regional trains by POLREGIO and regional operators such as Koleje Małopolskie or Koleje Mazowieckie. The route pages list which operators run each route.
