From 8–16 November 2025, Warsaw Central Station will not stop passenger trains as Polish Railways carries out track works to build a junction and upgrade signalling.
Schedule and Service Reorganisation
From 8 to 16 November 2025 trains will bypass Warsaw Central Station. Long‑distance services will stop only at Warsaw West and Warsaw East, with some running via Warsaw Gdańsk and Warsaw Main.
Regional and Szybka Kolej Miejska lines will continue on the midpoint route between Warsaw West and Warsaw East, stopping at Ochota, Śródmieście, Powiśle, and Stadion.
During the works selected PKP Intercity services will also halt at Warsaw Śródmieście.
Track Projects and Signalling Upgrades
The work involves building a trapezoidal junction—four new tracks—at Warsaw Central Station and replacing worn switches at the Warsaw Włochy stop.
New SRK (Rail Traffic Control) equipment will be installed, increasing track availability for passing and manoeuvres, boosting efficiency and capacity.
The contract, worth about 6.5 million PLN net, is signed with KOMBUD S.A. of Zakłady Automatyki.
Station Operations During Works
Although passenger trains will not stop, the station building remains open, with the above‑ground and underground levels hosting shops, bars, cafés, and service points.
Polish State Railways will use the limited passenger traffic to carry out maintenance and refurbishment of common areas.
Planned work includes repairing station hall walls and stone floors, updating lighting in the main hall, waiting room and underground passages, and a thorough cleaning of the entire facility.
Impact on Passenger Flow and Facilities
Passengers will still be able to use Warsaw Central Station as a key interchange in Śródmieście, adjacent to city bus stops and pedestrian routes, and as a retail and dining hub.
After the junction is completed, service frequency through Warsaw Central is expected to increase from a five‑minute to a four‑minute interval, allowing up to 32 trains per hour.
