TrainAtlasThis report covers Domestic Polish passenger routes whose realtime updates match both endpoint stations in the captured daily GTFS timetable. Known cross-border services and unresolved endpoints are excluded. Below are the Polish routes running furthest behind schedule, ranked by the typical (median) arrival delay. This page refreshes every week from verified arrival data.

Bars are scaled to the worst route this week. "Typical delay" is the median across every tracked run; "late" is the share arriving 5 or more minutes behind. Only routes running 10 or more minutes late on a typical trip, with at least 25 tracked trains, are listed. Scope: Domestic Polish passenger routes whose realtime updates match both endpoint stations in the captured daily GTFS timetable. Known cross-border services and unresolved endpoints are excluded.

Why are Polish trains so delayed?
Three things compound:
- A measured route ranking. This page describes the domestic passenger routes verified in the weekly data rather than claiming to be an official national punctuality statistic.
- Scope is deliberate. Only services whose two endpoints match the captured Polish timetable are included, so known cross-border and unresolved routes cannot distort the country ranking.
- Median reveals persistent delay. Each route is ranked by its median delay across verified tracked runs that week, reducing the effect of one exceptional service.
How we measure this
- Arrival delay, not departure.
- We measure how late a train actually arrives - departure delay understates how late trains really run.
- Median, not average.
- Each route shows the median across every tracked run that week, so one cancelled or extreme train cannot distort the ranking.
- A 25-train floor.
- A route needs at least 25 tracked runs that week to appear, so a single bad day cannot put an obscure route on the board.
- Scope.
- Domestic Polish passenger routes whose realtime updates match both endpoint stations in the captured daily GTFS timetable. Known cross-border services and unresolved endpoints are excluded.
TrainAtlas is independent and not affiliated with Polish passenger rail or any rail operator. These are our own measurements from public data, not official punctuality statistics - operators publish on-time percentages using their own, more generous thresholds, so our median-minutes figure will usually read worse.
