These trains cross the city from east to west - so they call first at Warszawa Wschodnia station, which is on the eastern side of the city centre.
If you will be commencing a journey in the vicinity of the old town, you can take tram line/route 13 direct from the 'Stare Miasto' stop direct to Wschodnia station.
They then call at Warszawa Centralna - the main station in the city, which is why we've used it for the orange station info button, which can be clicked above

The slower, but cheaper alternative trains:
As per usual when taking a long-distance express train route in Poland, there are cheaper TLK trains available* when making a train journey from Warsaw to Torun.
Though on this route these IC services can cost a similar price to the alternative TLK services - also at your preferred travel time there's unlikely to be a choice between the IC and TLK services, they tend to depart in different hours.
