Can you tell me more information about the One-Country pass, its dates of validity, how it works, etc? I currently live in Poland, but often visit the Czech Republic. I usually take the night train from Warsaw on Friday and return on the night train from Prague on Sunday. I often travel at least once or twice a month. Is this pass only valid for a few days, or for a month or longer? Thanks,

Gretchen

You can buy 3-day IR Czechia for € 49, but for Polish section you have to buy a full-price ticket. Polish Railways doesn't offer any discount for ticket to your IR-country border.
I think the ordinary tickets will be better choice. The cheapest combination for the night train is:

[b]Warszawa-Zebrzydowice Gr.[/b]
domestic Polish ticket (the Gr. is important, it means a Czech-Polish border point, instead of Zebrzydowice train station)
buy at every Polish counter
57.50 PLN (€ 14.7), Polish students probably have 50% discount.

[b]Zebrzydowice Gr.-Bohumín[/b]
normal international return ticket (ČD-PKP Most discount)
buy at every Polish international counter
€ 3.60 for return ticket

[b]Bohumín-Praha[/b]
Czech Railways e-ticket
buy online at [u]https://www.cd.cz/eshop/sporotiket.aspx[/u]
310–400 CZK (€ 12.6–16.3), the price varies how early you buy it in advance.

[b]Couchette reservation[/b]
The reservation in 6-berth couchette costs € 9.40 for Prague–Warszaw direction, for the opposite direction it should cost equally.

Alternatively, you can buy a direct international ticket Warszaw–Prague, but it's valid only in direct daytime trains EC 110/111, not in night trains. It costs € 19, for Warszaw–Prague direction you buy it at every Polish international counter, for Prague-Warszaw you buy it at Czech Railways e-shop ([u]https://www.cd.cz/eshop/international/search_int.aspx?tt=5[/u])
