Polish government backs ambitious rail investment programme
Poland’s Council of Ministers has approved the country biggest-ever railway investment programme. By 2023, 67 billion zł (€16 billion) will have been spent upgrading the Polish rail network. Key projects include greater implementation of ERTMS and increasing the number of routes that support line speeds of 160 km/h.
Poland’s infrastructure manager, PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe, said tenders worth 11 billion zł (€2.6 billion) would be announced later this year for schemes to upgrade several key routes, including Warsaw-Lublin, Wroclaw-Poznan and Warsaw-Poznan.
“This is an important day for railway transport in Poland,” said Marcin Mochocki, PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe board member, adding: “Passenger rail travel has returned to the game.” A number of projects will be co-financed by the European Union’s Connecting Europe Facility (CEF).
