Now it is not easy to answer your question. Let's start with the history. Many, many years ago in Poland we had three kinds of trains: osobowy (plural osobowe) - it meant the train was stopped on every station. pospieszny (plural pospieszne) - it meant the train was stopped on bigger station (on town not on village) ekspres (plural ekspresowe) - it meant the train went for example from Berlin to Moscow and stopped only in two cities in Poland (Poznań and Warszawa) But now it is all different. We have: Pociąg Regionalny - the slowest one and it stops on each station (the old name would be osobowy) TLK - Tanie Linie Kolejowe (Cheap Line Train) pospieszny IC -intercity (the fastest) but now we have PENDOLINO it it the fastest and expensive one Marcin
