The article presents issues related to the placing in service of ED250 high-speed (HS) trainsets—on the Polish network. ED250 trains started running on the Polish railway network in December 2014. Several years of their operation allow drawing conclusions taking the right decisions regarding the purchase of these trainsets and a significant improvement in the quality of travel on the indicated, popular routes as well as to reflect on the wider aspect of using high-speed trains, i.e. the impact on reducing the negative influence of transport on the environment. This article addresses the issue of reduced carbon dioxide emissions by recalling the simulation carried out to compare the energy consumption between ED250 trains and locomotive plus carriages that, before the purchase of ED250 vehicles, served the Warsaw–Katowice and Warsaw–Gdańsk routes. The results of this simulation clearly indicate the advantages of HS trains in the ecological context. The article presents:

    technical information on high-speed trains operated in Poland,

    changes to the offer within 6 years of the ED250 trainsets in years 2015–2020,

    results of the simulation on energy consumption carried out within 2015–2020,

    the volume of reduced CO2 emissions in 2015–2020,

    savings in the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS).
