'Regional Transport') is a train operator in [Poland](/source/Poland), responsible for local and interregional [passenger transportation](/source/Passenger_transportation). Each day it runs approximately 3,000 regional trains. In 2002 it carried 215 million passengers. The company was founded in 2001 from the splitting of the PKP Passenger Transport Sector of the once-unitary [Polish State Railways](/source/Polish_State_Railways) national rail operator into several companies to meet [European Union](/source/European_Union) requirements. ## Train categories **REGIO (R)** - local passenger train, 2nd class only, stops (usually) at all stations **REGIOplus** - semi-fast local passenger train, 2nd class only, stops at a limited number of stations, same fare as Regio **interREGIO (IR)** - low-cost inter-regional fast train, 2nd class only, stops at medium and major stations only; since 1 September 2015 only on routes [Łódź](/source/%C5%81%C3%B3d%C5%BA) – [Warszawa](/source/Warsaw) and [Ełk](/source/E%C5%82k) – [Grodno](/source/Grodno) (Belarus), due to company's economics and restructuring.[1] **REGIOekspres (RE)** - fast trains on international routes; stop at major stations only; 1st and 2nd class, higher standard than IR; currently only on the routes: [Dresden Hbf](/source/Dresden_Hauptbahnhof) – [Wrocław Główny](/source/Wroc%C5%82aw_Main_Station) and [Frankfurt (Oder)](/source/Frankfurt_(Oder))-[Poznań](/source/Pozna%C5%84) (both operated by [DB Regio](/source/DB_Regio) on the [German](/source/Germany) part of the route as [RegionalExpress](/source/RegionalExpress)) From 26 May 2006 until 1 February 2014, Polregio also operated an [airport rail link](/source/Airport_rail_link) service (the first in whole of Poland) called *Balice Express*, connecting [Kraków Airport](/source/Krak%C3%B3w_Airport) (via [Kraków Lotnisko railway station](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Krak%C3%B3w_Lotnisko_railway_station&action=edit&redlink=1)) with [Kraków Główny](/source/Krak%C3%B3w_G%C5%82%C3%B3wny) at its own fare. The service ceased when the railway line was upgraded and electrified and then taken over by [Lesser Poland Railways](/source/Lesser_Poland_Railways) for its SKA1 line. For domestic routes IR and RE trains share the same fare for the 2nd class (meaning you can board an RE train with an IR ticket and vice versa). With the exception of the two above-mentioned *RegioExpress* trains, there is no reservation in any of the Polregio trains. Until 1 December 2008 the company also used to run other 300 interregional and international fast trains (*pociąg pospieszny*), but per the government's decision, the interregional and international fast trains were transferred to its then-sister company, [PKP Intercity](/source/PKP_Intercity) and rebranded to *Tanie Linie Kolejow* (lit. 'Cheap Railway Lines'). ## Ownership Until 22 December 2008 Polregio was a wholly owned subsidiary of the [PKP Group](/source/PKP_Group), after that date all of its shares have been transferred to the 16 [voivodeship](/source/Voivodeships_of_Poland) governments. Thus, the company is no longer part of the PKP Group and on interregional routes its *InterRegio* trains compete with [PKP Intercity](/source/PKP_Intercity) TLK trains. On 8 December 2009, the company changed its name from *PKP Przewozy Regionalne* to *Przewozy Regionalne*, and in January 2017, the company started using the brand name *POLREGIO* for its services.[2] Voivodship Number of shares Percentage of shares Location of directorate Greater Poland 123,243 9.7% Poznań Kuyavia-Pomerania 73,691 5.8% Bydgoszcz Lesser Poland 81,315 6.4% Kraków Łódź 72,421 5.7% Łódź Lower Silesia 92,750 7.3% Wrocław Lublin 69,880 5.5% Lublin Lubusz 45,739 3.6% Zielona Góra Masovia 171,523 13.5% Warsaw Opole 43,198 3.4% Opole Podlaskie 48,281 3.8% Białystok Pomerania 90,208 7.1% Gdynia Silesia 116,890 9.2% Katowice Subcarpathia 62,257 4.9% Rzeszów Świętokrzyskie 38,116 3.0% Kielce Warmia-Masuria 67,339 5.3% Olsztyn West Pomerania 73,691 5.8% Szczecin ## Rolling stock ### Electric multiple units Family Class Image Cars Type Top speed Number Builder Refurbished by km/h mph – EN57 3 EMU 110–120 68–75 295 Pafawag Pesa Mińsk Mazowiecki, Newag, HCP FPS – EN71 4 110 69 4 Pafawag – – ED72 4 110–120 68–75 20 Pafawag Pesa Mińsk Mazowiecki – EN81 1 120 75 6 Pesa – Newag Impuls 14WE 3 110 69 5 Newag – EN63 3 160 100 59 Newag – ED78 4 30 Newag EN78 4 5 Newag EN90 5 10 Newag EN98 2 12 Newag 31WEbb 4 29 Newag 36WEhb 4 8 Newag Pesa Elf EN62 3 160 100 6 Pesa EN76 4 8 Pesa EN96 2 8 Pesa 22WEg 4 5 Pesa Pesa Acatus Plus EN64 3 160 100 5 Pesa – Pesa Acatus Plus EN99 2 8 Pesa ### Electric locomotives (as at 15 June 2020) Type Number Speed Manufacturer Modernized EP07P 5 125 km/h Pafawag ZNLE Gliwice Together: 5 - [EP07P](/source/PKP_class_EP07)-2003 ### Diesel locomotives (as at 15 June 2020) Type Number Speed Manufacturer Modernized SM42 11 90 km/h Fablok SU42 7 90 km/h ZNTK Nowy Sącz SM04 5 30 km/h Zastal Together: 23 - [SM42](/source/Fablok_6D)-3229 - [SU42](/source/SU42) - [SM04](/source/SM04)-742 ### Carriages (as at 15 June 2020) Type Number Speed Manufacturer Modernized 120A 9 120 km/h Pafawag Bmnopux 18 120 km/h Waggonbau Görlitz Pesa 161A 5 160 km/h HCP 162A 6 160 km/h 163A 5 160 km/h 113Aa 2 160 km/h Together: 45 - Bmnopux - 120A - 161A - 162A - 163A - 113Aa ### Diesel multiple units (as at 15 June 2020) Type Number Speed Manufacturer SA103 13 120 km/h Pesa SA105 6 100 km/h ZNTK Poznań SA106 5 120 km/h Pesa SA107 2 100 km/h Kolzam SA108 6 100 km/h ZNTK Poznań SA109 7 100 km/h Kolzam SA131 1 120 km/h Pesa SA132 3 120 km/h SA133 24 120 km/h SA134 17 120 km/h Pesa, ZNTK MM SA135 8 120 km/h SA136 12 120 km/h Pesa SA137 7 120 km/h Newag SA138 3 120 km/h SA139 11 120 km/h Pesa SA140 2 130 km/h Newag Together: 139 - [SA135](/source/Pesa_214M)-020 in Koluszki - [SA136](/source/Pesa_Atribo)-008 - [SA137](/source/Newag_220M%2F221M)-008 - [SA138](/source/Newag_220M%2F221M)-005 - [SA139](/source/Pesa_Link)-022 023 ## Accidents and incidents - On 3 March 2012, at approximately 20:55 [CET](/source/Central_European_Time), a Przewozy Regionalne train [collided head-on](/source/Szczekociny_rail_crash) with a PKP Intercity train on the [Kozłów–Koniecpol railway](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Koz%C5%82%C3%B3w%E2%80%93Koniecpol_railway&action=edit&redlink=1) near Szczekociny.
