InterCity – affordable express trains with obligatory reservation; - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKP_Intercity#Operations

--

Express trains make a small number of stops, usually major destinations, allowing faster service than local trains that stop at most or all of the stations along their route - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Express_train

--

In Poland the InterCity (IC) services are the third tier express services, below the EIP and EIC services.

But the IC routes broadly fall into three categories:

(1) The shorter distance Polish express train routes.
(2) Cross country routes that don't serve Warszawa
(3) Longer more indirect routes, than those taken by the faster EIC and EIP services.
