Routes
The first Varsovia ran between Warsaw and Berlin, Germany. Introduced in 1993, it was absorbed, minus its name, into the EuroCity Berlin-Warszawa-Express service in 2002.
In 2012, a second Varsovia was introduced to link Warsaw with Budapest, Hungary, as an extended replacement for the EC Moravia, which had run only between Ostrava in the Czech Republic and Budapest.[1]
