Chrusty Nowe (p.odg. Bęzelin) – Żakowice (p.odg. Pękowice)
[102, 601] (ERA177C1, F9) PL20/106
This south-to-west curve avoiding Koluszki is used by trains between Łódź and Piotrków Trybunalski/Częstochowa that do not call at Koluszki.
Częstochowa (Częstochowa Towarowa) – line 703 – podg Kucelinka – line 155 - Poraj
[102] (ERA182B3; F7 R15) PL20/107
An alternative to the main line between Częstochowa and Poraj. From a report received those previously listed trains no longer run via line 703 [confirmed in map view] but via or only from Częstochowa Stradom which is not shown in the 102 PDF. As there are now no services via Line 703 all previous entries have been deleted and there is a new PL20/107A entry for the rare track line 155 these still cover.
Lines 703 and 701 give the impression of being a grade separated junction but is not, line 701 on the east side is used by passenger services in both directions. Line 703 has returned to being freight only and diverges at the north end of Częstochowa Towarowa (marshalling yard) to run on the west side of the yard to Częstochowa Raków where a temporary platform had been provided on the goods lines. It then climbs to go over the main line to Katowice to join T109 between Częstochowa Stradom and Koniecpol at podg Kucelinka where the non-passenger Line 155 to Poraj now shown as PL20/107A diverges. Note there is no connection at podg Kucelinka between the normal Częstochowa - Kielce passenger track [east side line 701] and Line 155.
[Częstochowa Stradom –] podg Kucelinka – line 155 - Poraj
[102] (ERA182B3; F7 R15) PL20/107A
From a report received the services previously quoted as also using line 703 in PL20/107 only use rare track line 155 and go via or to/from Częstochowa Stradom.

[Sosnowiec Dańdówka -] Sosnowiec Porąbka - line 171 - podg Dorota - line 171 - Dąbrowa Gornicza Wschodnia [- Sławków]
[105] (ERA188A4/B4, R18) PL20/107B
The Katowice - Tunel service was diverted via line 171 between 20 March - 6 April 2020, but nothing since then. Note that the route from podj Dorota to the curve towards Dąbrowa Gornicza Wschodnia is on tracks separated by width and height with line 133 in-between so travel in both directions is recommended.
Koniecpol – Kozłów (p.odg. Starzyny)
[107, 109] (ERA182C3, F8) PL20/108
This 11 km line reopened in the 2012 timetable. Not identifiable in its own table, this is used by services in Table 109 with a timing at Częstochowa/Częstochowa Stradom and Kraków not running via Kielce. Much increased use since 2017 with the closure of Dąbrowa Górnicza Ząbkowice to Jaworzno Szczakowa.
(Kraków Batowice –) podg Kraków Przedmieśie – Line 602 – Kraków Olsza – Line 100 – Kraków Plaszów

(Kielce –) Sitkowka Nowiny – Busko Zdroj
[112] (ERA183A2/3, F9/G9) PL20/111
A two pairs summer SSuO service resumed in 2018 on a 43.5km line which closed to passenger services on 10 October 2004. This became daily from 27 June 2020 and is increased again to three pairs and continuing to run from 30 August until the December TT change. For those wishing to visit the Town/Spa note the station is some way away, but it is believed there are connecting buses.
(Tomaszów Mazowiecki – Dęba Opoczyńska –) p.odg. Zapowiedź – Radzice
[100, 113, 114] (ERA183A5, E9) PL20/112
Shared as far as p.odg. Zapowiedź with PL20/101, these are the only services to cover the 0.7km section to Radzice then covered to/from Radom by services listed in PL20/102. There is all year use scheduled in 2019/20 shown in 113 PDF.
The daily Tomaszów Mazowiecki – Drzewica - Radom local service is planned to be re-introduced from 30 August 2020 with two pairs.

[Łódź –] Gałkówek – Mikołajów [– Tomaszów Mazowiecki]
[114/601] (ERA177C1, E8, R11) PL20/113
There are two possible routes between Łódź and Tomaszów Mazowiecki avoiding Koluszki - both routes are scheduled during 2019/20.
The first is a direct double track line 25 from Gałkówek via Żakowice Połudnowie to Mikołajów indicated by a '<' at Słotwiny and used by more frequent express services or
single track Line 537 via Słotwiny, podg Zielen and Żakowice Połudnowie indicated by calls at Słotwiny in the 114 PDF. Note Interrail and PR Regional tickets are not valid on local ŁKA trains and Gałkówek to podg Zielen is common with part of PL20/603.
Note no Żakowice Połudnowie station listing appears in the PDF for table 114 or 601. Additional confirmation of use of the alternative via line 537 would be obtained via the station's departure sheet.
Skarżysko Kamienna avoiding line: Lipowe Pole (p.odg. SKA) – SKB – Skarżysko Kościelne (p.odg. SKE)
[115] (ERA183A4, F9) PL20/114
This route (line 566), ca 5 km long, provides a direct connection between the Radom and Sandomierz lines and is indicated in Table 115 by a < marker against Skarżysko Kamienna. From 29 November 2020 to 12 December 2020 there are two southbound TLK services leaving Radom at 10:29 and 19:18 and two northbound services leaving Skarżysko Kościelne at 08:13 and 17:08.
Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski – Sandomierz – Grębów
[115] (ERA183B5-B5,C3, F10-G10) PL20/115
Used by services from Skarzysko Kamienna and PL20/114, plus Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski to Sandomierz by a dated weekend-only pair of locals. Also note Sandomierz – Grębów is covered by those listed in PL20/116.
Sandomierz – Sobów (– Tarnobrzeg)
[116/126] (ERA183C3, G10) PL20/116
A limited service was re-introduced in summer 2017 and from March 2020, they partly appear in an expanded table 116 PDF. This is an extremely difficult route to identify from the timetable pdfs.
R23433 | Stalowa Wola Poludnie – 05:39 Sandomierz - Rzeszów Główny | ||
Note A | R32436/32434 | Rzeszów Główny - 17:48 SX/16:07 SO Tarnobrzeg - Sandomierz - Stalowa Wola Poludnie |
Note A Replaced by bus until 12 December 2020
Przeworsk avoiding line: Przeworsk Gorliczyna – podg Przeworsk Zachodnia
[116, 121] (ERA184A1, G11), PL20/117
This curve enables trains between Stalowa Wola and Rzeszow to avoid reversing at Przeworsk. All year use as indicated by no timing at Przeworsk timetbles 116 and 121. Currently three trains each way use the curve.
Kraków northern loop line: (Kraków Główny –) Kraków Batowice – podg Dłubnia – Kraków Nowa Huta – Podłęże
[120] (ERA171B5, R15) PL20/118
Diversions via long distance services continue throughout the summer 2019/20 TT period. Table 120 now shows the local services calling at reopened (from 15 March 2020) stations Lubocza & Kraków Nowa Huta, so identification of diverted services is now very straightforward with a | through Nowa Huta and "<" markers between Kraków Główny and Podłęże. Reports of the location of Nowa Huta station would be appreciated to confirm if it is the old PKP platforms on the north side, or those further east as used by the unadvertised workers services nearer the huge steel works entrance.
To/from the east end of Kraków Nowa Huta the longer north side Line loop is the usual route in both directions but it has been known for services to take a shorter inside curve to/from podg Koscielniki. Note both are line 95 and this is shown clearer on Open Railway Map than the Mały Atlas Kraków insert. Eastbound services may also use a significantly separate route involving a flyover approaching Podłęże although this was closed for works in Autumn 2019 so any reports of what route is taken at Kraków Nowa Huta, and approaching Podłęże would also be appreciated by the Compilers.
Kraków Główny avoider via Kraków Olsza
[120/140] (ERA182, R15) PL20/119
Increased use in the summer timetable period with four InterCity services, all westbound. These trains ended with the summer timetable.
D | IC3602 | Przemyśl Główny - 07:10 Kraków Płaszów - Wrocław Główny | |
D | EIP 3506 | Rzeszów Główny - 07:52 Kraków Płaszów - Gdynia Główna | |

D | IC 31100 | Przemyśl Główny - 19:24 Kraków Płaszów - Warszawa Wschodnia |
Also part used between Kraków Płaszów and Kraków Olsza by trains in timetable 120a.
(Przemyśl Główny –) Hurko – Medyka (– Mostys'ka 2)
[122] (ERA184B1, H12, R35) PL20/120
There are three routes between these points; from south to north they are:
- Line 91, a cross border 1435 mm gauge line which ends east of Mostys'ka 1 in Ukraine.
This is used between Przemyśl Główny and Medyka by the PKP local service shown in Table 122 and usually by the through Wroclaw - L'viv service, plus LEO Express have applied to run through to Mostys'ka 2.
- Line 989, a 1435 mm gauge line through the marshalling yards, re-joining Line 91 at Medyka.
No passenger services use this line. Note that page H12 of the "Atlas Linii Kolejowych Polski" is incorrect in showing passenger stations on this line; they are on Line 91 and the enlarged page R35 shows the situation correctly.
- Line 92, the 1520 mm gauge line into Ukraine.
This route is used by the daytime services between Kyiv/L'viv and Przemyśl Główny, and from 2017/18 the night service to/from Odessa, all operated by Ukrainian railways. Note such trains terminating at Przemyśl Główny are no longer shown in PKP 122 so are listed below.
Up until the 2016/17 TT change it was believed Lines 91 and 92 were used on alternate days by the overnight L'viv/Lvov services, with either a manual gauge change at Przemyśl (with a longer stop) or an SUW2000 gauge change at Mostys'ka 2 (with a relatively short stop at Przemyśl). The gauge changer at Mostys'ka 2 was noted out of use as at October 2017 but an April 2018 traveller confirms his overnight L'viv/Lvov services used Line 91 and the Mostys'ka 2 gauge changer.
This of course does not preclude use of the gauge changer at Przemyśl and further reports would be appreciated by the Compilers although the Beta version of the PKP Journey planner route map clearly shows the 2019/20 services booked via Line 91 and the Przemyśl Główny Peron sheets that a Standard gauge platform is used in both directions by the overnight through service.

(Jasło –) Gorlice-Zagórzany – Gorlice
[131/a] (ERA186B5, H10) PL20/126
Jasło - Gorlice-Zagórzany services are listed in table 131. The Gorlice branch service is now shown in a new table 131a in 2019/20, making it much easier to see its complicated operating pattern.

From Summer 2017 some were extended across the border to Medzilaborce in Slovakia and this continues in 2020. The summer 2020 timetable (26 June to 29 August) is in TT134. There is one SO Poznań - Łupków which returns on Sunday, and two Zagórz - Medzilaborce train pairs at weekends, including Fridays.
Rzeszów Zachodni - Rzeszów Staroniwa (Rzeszów Głowny avoider) - line 611
[132] (ERA183C1, G11) PL20/128
Short term 2019/20 use is in the 126 and 132 PDFs. This curve was used between 25 June - 31 August 2019 by local services and until 14 December 2019 by a TLK train pair to/from Żagorz operated by SKPL due to major Rzeszów Główny station reconstruction works.

Sucha Beskidzka
[135] (ERA185B5, G8) PL20/129
All services between Kraków and Zakopane had to reverse at Sucha Beskidzka until an avoiding curve opened on 11 June 2017. Since then most Zakopane trains run via the avoiding line, calling at a new station of Sucha Beskidzka Zamek. Use of the North to West and South to West curves can be identified by any train calling at Sucha Beskidzka.
Kraków Plaszów – Kraków Bonarka (– Skawina)
[135a] (ERA182, R15) PL20/130
Running via this route was much reduced once the Kraków Plaszów avoiding curve opened in December 2017. All local services between Kraków Plaszow and Skawina were operated by buses in 2019/20 until 8 November when several local services reverted to trains. These may be readily identified in timetable 135a. Enter 135a in the Search by Table section and look for trains starting/terminating/running via Kraków Plaszow.
Oświęcim – Skawina
[141] (ERA182B1/C1 G7-G8) PL20/131
The Praha - Kraków is rerouted via table 140 in 2019/20. From 27 June to 29 August 2020 there are morning PR trains from Katowice and Kraków to Zator which return in the early evening, so complete travel over the line in daylight is possible, but with a very long layover. From 30 August 2020 two overnight trains travel the majority of the route. See PL20/132 for use from the Oświęcim avoiding curve junction.
Oświęcim avoiding curve: Oświęcim OwC1 – OwC - Skawina
[120/140/141] (ERA188C4, G7) PL20/132

That years Gliwice - Wisła Głębce is to variable destinations in 2020, plus new use by summer day TLK's after reopening initially with a SSuO pair from December 2018 with use of this route confirmed by a booked call at Knurów. In 2020 also used by a northbound International overnight and from a travellers report on that in September 2020, approaching Gliwice this used a reinstated south connection onto the ex Katowice main line shown closed and lifted in the Mały Atlas and on checking the Journey Planner Map View that connection is also used by the SSuO pair.

Czechowice-Dziedzice (p.odg Ochodza)- via Zabrzeg Czarnolesie Goods line 693 to (p.odg Bronów) - Chybie
[147] (ERA182A1, H7) PL20/137
There are no local Koleje Śląskie services running west from Czechowice Dziedzice between 11 May and at least 7 November 2020, they are diverted to/from Pszczyna and through the above yard. This was originally indicated in the March 2020 T147 PDF by < markers at Zabrzeg and Zabrzeg Czarnolesie stations but from the June timetable adjustment both stations were omitted from the 147 timetable PDF. They are shown with < in the all year PDF, plus the Beta Journey Planner map view confirms these services remain scheduled via approximately 7km of Line 693 as per the heading. Additionally one daily pair of EIC's [09:37 from Pszczyna, 17:41 from Zebrzydowice] plus the FSuO northbound, MSO southbound Leo Express Kraków - Praha are uniquely shown to use the diversion until 12 December...
Both direction diversions are shown in the Journey Planner map view to run on the south side of the yard and a report of both ways August 2020 journeys confirmed this is the route taken. Note in places this is out of sight of the parallel main line.
Limited locals and one southbound EIC were first shown diverted from 15 March 2020.
From 8 November 2020 to 12 December 2020 local services to Skoczow are buses and trains from Pszczyna to Zebrzydowice (and vice versa) take the route through the goods yard.
Katowice Ligota - goods line 142 via Katowice Murcki - podg Mąkołowiec - Tychy
[151] (ERA182A1, R17) PL20/137A
Indicated by < markers at Katowice Piotrowice and Katowice Podlesie, this 14km freight only line is in use on Sat/Sun 18/19 & 25/26 April 2020 by limited KS Diversions. These changed from originally advertised to be 1 southbound and six northbound as per a table 151 PDF issued on 17 April and confirmed in Map view.
Nędza Wieś – Kuźnia Raciborska (p.odg. Turze)
[153/160] (ERA188B1, G6) PL20/138
This east-to-north chord avoiding Nędza station is used by trains running direct between Kędzierzyn Koźle and Rybnik. Use is indicated by < markers at stations from Nędza to Chałupki in Table 160. Note these services do not appear in table 153 but should use the direct route to/from Rybnik in PL20/139 which can be confirmed by the Map View in the Journey Planner before travel.
Rybnik – Sumina
[153/154/160] (ERA188B1, G6, H6) PL20/139
There are two routes between Rybnik and Sumina: a direct line and a longer route via Rybnik Towarowy and Rydułtowy used by almost all local services. Any TLK normally takes the direct line to/from Kędzierzyn-Koźle as previously indicated by a '<' symbol against the intermediate stations in table 153, [can be confirmed by the Journey Planner Map view] but these trains only appear in tables 154/160 to/from 220. There are also a few Rybnik - Racibórz locals booked the direct line on 18/19 & 25/26 April 2020 as per < markers in Table 153, and one train pair from 8 November 2020 to 12 december 2020.
Services not booked to call at Sumina to/from the direct line may, but do not always use the station avoiding line.
Tychy – line 169 - Orzesze Jaśkowice
[151/155] (ERA188B2/B3, G7) PL20/140
This line reopened to passenger services in 2017. Use can be identified in 155 by < markers from Mikolow Jamna to Orzesze plus | from Orzesze Jaśkowice.
Żory – Chybie

Kędzierzyn-Koźle – p.odg. Stare Koźle – Kędzierzyn-Koźle Azoty
[160] (ERA181C2 too detailed to be shown, R14) PL20/142
Click on the thumbnail for a full size map.
There are three routes between Kędzierzyn-Koźle and podg. Stare Koźle. From east to west they are:
1. Line 709. This is the normal passenger route but is not in use during 2020 until at least 8 November due to engineering works. This 4 km single track goes over the avoiding curve line 681 via a staff halt at the PKP depot to/from Peron (platform) I. It did go out of use for a time but resumed as the normal for PR local trains with the June 2016 timetable change but see 2. & 3. for exceptions.
2. Line 151 (northbound). From a travellers July 2017 observation, only the equivalent of the IC below normally uses a line initially heading east at podg. Stare Koźle [not shown in the Mały Atlas but in OpenRailwayMap], then underneath Lines 709 and 681 to run parallel to, but up to 30m apart of the southbound track of Line 151. Both tracks of 151 remain on the west side of the substantial yard and lead to/from only Kędzierzyn-Koźle Peron IV, with IC4124 reversing to head towards Gliwice. From a August 2020 report and confirmed in the Peron sheets, the service listed below plus all IC/TLK's and locals from the south are booked into Peron IV due to closure of Peron I and II for engineering work and use this alternative route until at least 7 November 2020.
IC 4124 | Racibórz - 06:26 Kuźnia Raciborska - Warszawa Centralna |
3. Line 151 (southbound). This runs on the west side of the yard (Kędzierzyn-Koźle KKD) up to 0.5 km away from Line 709 and the southern junction at podg. Stare Koźle is grade separated. Any service from Kędzierzyn-Koźle Peron IV towards Rybnik or Racibórz must use this route.
Check the Kędzierzyn-Koźle arrivals sheet for the latest information on all three variants.
Kędzierzyn-Koźle avoiding curve
[160/220] (ERA181C2, R14) PL20/143
In addition to the services listed below, between 8 November and 12 December 2020 ALL Raciborz - Kędzierzyn-Koźle local services are diverted via this curve to reverse and call at Sławięcice on the line towards Gliwice.
Use increased during 2019/20 by diversions due to engineering work on 147 near Czechowice Dziedzice.

Kędzierzyn-Koźle goods lines and northern approach line 680
[160/220] (ERA181C2, R14) PL20/143A
The following TLK services do not call, but use the goods lines parallel to the platforms at Kędzierzyn-Koźle, stopping at Kędzierzyn-Koźle Azoty instead. As a consequence [and the journey planner map view confirms], they must use goods line 680 north of the station. The map view shows all five taking the southbound option of this grade separated line so any reports of the actual route taken would be appreciated by the Compilers.
Note the Journey Planner map view shows the few through Raciborz - Opole local services do not take this route but PL20/143 listed above and still call at Kędzierzyn-Koźle.

Lubliniec – Paczyna
[165] (ERA182A3, G6) PL20/144
This 36.5 km section of an otherwise freight only line has a substantial grade separated junction at Lubliniec. From 28 June 2020 to the end of August 2020 it is used by one southbound early daytime and four overnight train pairs.
Lubliniec avoiding line: podg. Jawonica – podg. Droniowiczki
[165/175] (ERA182A3, G6) PL20/145
This north <=> south connection links the Częstochowa line (line 61) with the Paczyna line (line 152). These services do not appear in the 165 PDF. Previously used by services diverted away from their normal route via Fosowskie between 10 - 23 July 2017.

(Lubliniec –) Toszek Północ – Rudziniec Gliwicki (– Kędzierzyn-Koźle)
[175] (ERA182A3, G6) PL20/146
This is the freight line from the Junction of passenger table 165 south towards Kędzierzyn-Koźle. These services do not appear in the 165 PDF. Previously used by diversions in May 2011.
Any intending passengers are strongly advised to check the International Section of the Russian Railways website and the PKP Journey Planner map view as they are believed suspended until further notice. Note entry PL20/145A for dates when it does NOT use this routing.

Częstochowa avoiding line: Częstochowa Stradom – Kusięta Nowe (p.odg. Kucelinka) (– Koniecpol)
[109/175/P200] (ERA182B3, R15) PL20/147
This line enables trains between Wrocław/Opole and Kielce, plus to Warszawa (via the CMK) [PL20/103] or Krakow [PL20/108] to avoid reversing at Częstochowa Osobowa (the main station) by calling instead at Częstochowa Stradom. Use can be identified in table 175 by a < at Częstochowa.
Herby Stare – Boronów (p.odg Kalina)
[175/180] (ERA182A3, F7) PL20/148
This 2.2km east <=> south curve, [line 687] regained a local service in 2016 and this is easily identified in timetable 180. Dated summer use by IC services has ended leaving only a Olsztyn to Bielsko-Biała train pair only shown in 180 with timings as below.

Herby Stare – Herby Nowe
[175/180/315] (ERA182A3, F7) PL20/149
Despite not shown using this route in the original 2019/20 PDFs the Kraków - Szczecin pair apparently used this curve from day 1, plus an overnight pair shown booked via PL20/303 and line 173 were re-routed to call at Częstochowa Stradom and this curve. At some point before November 2020 use of the obscure route has ended and there are currently no services.

The east and westbound routes take significantly different routes through a forest between these points.
Lisów – podg Liswarta - Herby Nowe
[175/180] (ERA182A3, F7) PL20/149B
A press article indicated diversions via this west to north curve due to track works but searches showed just one train affected. That train was not shown in either PDF but oddly has now appeared in the all year PDF as having run since December 2019! But note as far as is known that this curve was only used between the dates shown below as it is of course possible to run via Herby Stare to reverse [as this train is scheduled to do from Wednesday 29 July 2020] so any reports confirming use of the west to north curve on dates other than those shown below would be appreciated by the Compilers.

Obscure services: Lines used on an occasional basis
(Zawiercie –) Łazy – Line 160 south, 186 north – Dąbrowa Gornicza Ząbkowice
[101/102] (ERA188A5/B5, too detailed to be shown correctly, G7 R18) PL20/150
An alternative route previously identified by < markers between Łazy and Dąbrowa Górnicza Sikorka. But in Autumn 2020 travellers noticed new platforms have been built on line 186 at Chruszczobród and Wiesiółka so use of only 186 by local services can now be confirmed from Peron sheets. Also note if a southbound service calls at Wiesiółka that it is impossible to also use line 160.
An additional complication picked up in October 2020 is that the two pairs of Kielce - Katowice PR services do not appear in the PDFs 101 or 102 despite calling at stations on them, and one of these is booked via 160/186!
In previous years northbound mainline services continued on the goods lines north of Łazy on the east side of the first, then in-between parts of two freight yards to Zawiercie but it is believed current northbound services all re-join the normal route by at least Łazy. Previous southbound use was scheduled during 2016, northbound on 11 August 2017.

Tomaszów Mazowiecki – Spała
[114] (ERA182C5, E8) PL20/154
PR Łódź sponsored the first passenger service on this branch since 1988 for summer 2014 but from 2017 services ran only on "Harvest" weekend which in 2019 was three pairs on 14/15 September. So it was a surprise when 2020 details were announced of a pair of DMU trains on Saturdays and Sundays from 8th - 30th August and that tickets appear to be free if you apply through the email address quoted in this PolRegio link. As timings are not in the Journey Planner they are Łódź Kaliska 08:12 Spała 09:25 to 17:10 Łódź Kaliska 18:27
Kraków Mydlniki - Line 95 - Kraków Batowice
[107/140] (ERA182, G8 & R15) PL20/155
Last used by one pair of overnights from 2 September - 20 October 2018 as confirmed by a traveller and station entries for Kraków Lobzów and Kraków Mydlniki in table 107. The 2019/2020 PDFs issue dated 13 December 2019 for table 120 implied by its < markers that TLK36170 19:57/20:14 from Przemsyl Glówny to Wroclaw/Berlin/Gdynia would avoid Kraków Glówny after travelling via Nova Huta all year meaning it would potentially use this route. However the Journey Planner and Bochnia Peron sheets show it booked to call at Kraków Glowny 23:30 to 00:06 and the Map View confirms this.
Kraków northern loop line: (Miechów –) Zesławice (podg Raciborowice) – podg Dłubnia – Kraków Nowa Huta

Last regularly used up to 9 June 2018 plus 2018 "Woodstock" services.
One train on 12 December 2020 is booked via this curve podg Raciborowice – podg Dłubnia to Kraków Nowa Huta but then unusually via the Podłęże avoider as per entry PL20/156A below. This is train 14010/407, the Warszawa Wschodnia to Wien Hbf, departing Miechów at 21:03.
Podłęże avoider: Kraków Nowa Huta - podg Podgrabie - podg Rudzice - [Kraków-Płaszów]

Believed to be the first known passenger use since clockwise steam specials to/from Kraków Glówny that ran in the Summer of 2008 & 2009. Train 14010/407, the Warszawa Wschodnia to Wien Hbf departing Miechów at 21:03 on just 12 December 2020 which also uses entry PL20/156. Note this curve is grade separated from end to end.

In 2020 services were planned between Chabówka - Mszana Dolna/Kasina Wielka SSuO or Chabówka - Nowy Sącz SuO from 4 July to 26 August but the last two weekends were cancelled due to the imposition of a 50% virus related seat sale restriction making them uneconomic.

They are:-
- from Mysłówice via Sosnowiec Jęzor and Line 180 to podg Dorota. Note the flyover south of podg Dorota to line 180 shown in the Mały Atlas no longer exists so southbound services may be more likely to use this route.
