Need assistance planning my travel in Poland

How or which bus to take from Warsaw Central Train Station to
Warsaw Wschodnia Train Station? Also, I plan to take a train from Warsaw to Bialystok, and from Bialystok to Elk. Is taking a bus from Warsaw to Elk is a better options? If yes, which bus and where. Thank you

I don't know.


First of all, there's a chance that your train stops at Warsaw Wschodnia too. Most long-distance trains stop at Warsaw Wschodnia/Centralna/Zachodnia.
If not, then the easiest way is to walk from Centralna to Warszawa Śródmieście (200 meters walk, underground - you exit the Centralna train station directly from the platform where your train arrives - don't go upstairs to the main hall; then choose the correct platform of the Śródmieście station - there should be signs - "kierunek Warszawa Wschodnia" and "kierunek Warszawa Zachodnia").

From Warszawa Śródmieście there's a train every 5-10 minutes in both directions - west and east (you have to buy a ticket).

I assume you'll be arriving in the daytime, because in the night there are few trains from Śródmieście, if any, and going those 200 meters underground can be dangerous too :(

Thanks Krzysztof

I think you should go for a bus - should be quicker an the same price

anyway here's the link for PKP connection search in English: rozklad-pkp.pl

Thanks Gumishu

All trains arriving at Warsaw from the western direction will always end their journey at Warsaw East as a rule, and vice versa; thanks to this rule all long-distance and international trains will always stop at Warsaw Central, though not all of them will stop at Warsaw West when setting off from Warsaw. In my view, it is more convenient to go to Ełk by bus in which case you will need to get off at Warsaw West and walk some distance underground to the bus station Warszawa Zachodnia (it is a main bus station in Warsaw integrated with the adjacent train station Warsaw West).

There is a direct bus service from Warsaw to Ełk (several times in a day, I should think).
