Leo Express to Launch Full Rail Service to Przemyśl from July 31.
Couchettes to be introduced on the entire Frankfurt – Prague – Przemyśl route
Prague, 20 July 2026
Since June 25, Leo Express has been operating the Frankfurt – Prague – Przemyśl route and back, deploying modern RIC coaches designed for international operation, equipped with air conditioning and Wi-Fi. Due to the ongoing economic equilibrium test in Poland, Leo Express temporarily operated buses on the Polish section, although it had been prepared to launch the entire route by train from the very beginning of operations. The situation has now been resolved, and from July 31 Leo Express will operate trains along the entire route. Economy Class tickets are available from EUR 9.9, while Business Class tickets start at EUR 24.9.
From the end of July, Leo Express will also introduce couchettes on the entire Frankfurt – Prague – Przemyśl route in its Economy Sleeper class, with fares starting at EUR 37.9 including breakfast. The addition of the couchettes increases the train's capacity by 32 seats.
"Przemyśl is another major European agglomeration that Leo Express will connect with a direct international rail service. By extending the route to Przemyśl, we are fulfilling our vision of building international railway connections. Przemyśl is a natural gateway to Ukraine and an important transport hub in eastern Poland. This new service will make travelling easier for thousands of passengers and strengthen the connection between Western and Eastern Europe," says Peter Köhler, CEO of Leo Express.
Leo Express was unable to operate trains along the entire route due to the economic equilibrium test that was underway at the time. The operator therefore introduced replacement buses transporting passengers with already purchased tickets, connecting with trains in both directions.
The service will now operate entirely by train, with stops in Poland at Przemyśl Główny, Przemyśl Zasanie, Radymno, Jarosław, Przeworsk, Łańcut, Rzeszów Główny, Sędziszów Małopolski, Ropczyce, Dębica, Tarnów, Brzesko Okocim, Bochnia, Kraków Główny, Kraków Płaszów and Oświęcim.
Tickets for the Polish section are currently available until August 29, when the current Polish timetable cycle ends. During August, Leo Express will open ticket sales for the following timetable period. Tickets for the Frankfurt – Bohumín section are already on sale until December 12, 2026.
Przemyśl 12:04 – Ostrava 18:14 – Prague 22:32 – Dresden 1:38 – Frankfurt 7:22
Frankfurt 15:03 – Dresden 22:30 – Prague 01:17 – Ostrava 05:19 – Przemyśl 11:25
Due to infrastructure works in Germany, the timetable may vary on individual days. Leo Express recommends that passengers check the specific departure times in the reservation system.
Travel in sleeper carriages with breakfast included
Passengers will also be able to travel in Economy Sleeper couchettes on the route. The coaches will offer compartments for one to four passengers, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, power sockets and breakfast included in the ticket price. Passengers will be able to choose between mixed and ladies-only compartments.
The couchettes will provide a comfortable and affordable overnight travel option between Frankfurt, Prague and Przemyśl. Thanks to the addition of the couchettes, Leo Express has increased the train's capacity by 32 seats. Tickets for the Economy Sleeper class start at EUR 37.9, including breakfast.
