Just Katowice. The other stations are local ones.
By the way, the Katowice station at the moment is a mess because they are demolishing it to build a new one. Keep your ears open for the announcements. Trains are continuously changing platforms.

You should then choose "Katowice" from the proposed list ['Please select from the selection list']. In fact, it is 'Katowice' again as the central station in that city has no additional adjective such as 'central' to its name.

Good advice given here. Susie, I don't want to paint a bad picture but, as sobieski said, the platform choice is never easy. I used to work in Katowice and it should have been the simplest thing in the world to get to Gliwice but it wasn't. It's always worth asking sb to check if you are catching the right train but target a young person. The old people might just reply with a grunt. Katowice, one of the worst stations in Europe for a big city. Nice zapiekanki outside :)

It is a good thing Katowice (the station not the city) is being bulldozed down and rebuilt underground.
I am passing there frequently because my brother-in-law lives down the line...but boy as Seanus writes...what a depressing place it was/is.
