It should be noted it is completely reissued four times per year with "adjustments" in 2022 due on 13 March, 12 June, 4 September & 6 November. Travellers are strongly advised to check the Journey Planner and PDFs for ALL Unusual lines timings as revised PDFs are issued on a weekly basis in-between those dates.

It should be noted the timetable is completely reissued four times a year, these "adjustments" are due on 10 March, 9 June, 1 September and 10 November 2024. Even so travellers are strongly advised to check the Journey Planner and PDFs for ALL Unusual lines timings as revised PDFs are issued weekly in-between those dates with their issue date in small font at the bottom left of each page.


A number of one off specials were included in the full year PDFs in 2016, mainly excursions run by [http://www.turkol.pl/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7&Itemid=3 Turkol] but this has not occurred since. Turkol run frequent Tours including freight only track which will not be EGTRE Unusual Line entries so anyone interested is strongly advised to become familiar with the Turkol website as recent examples have included trips to Czarnkow, Sokolów Podlaski, Gdansk and Gdynia Docks and the freight lines north from Gniezno.  
Trains numbers can change en route, i.e. IC 26100 to 26101 and the entries below attempt to show the train number for the section being highlighted. Even the PKP Journey Planner advises "Be careful, the train number may change on the route and does not necessarily coincide with the number on your ticket!"...


There are no longer special services via unusual routes for the Woodstock Festival Poland (''Przystanek Woodstock''), the largest Free annual music festival in Europe to Kostrzyn as it has morphed into Pol'and'Rock held in early August 2022 at an airfield just north of Szczecinek with only additional and strengthened local services.
A number of one off specials were included in the full year PDFs in 2016, mainly excursions run by Turkol but nothing similar had happened again until 2024 when a few trains for Pilgrim's to Czestochowa appeared. Turkol still run frequent Tours, many including freight only track [which will not be EGTRE Unusual Line entries] so anyone interested is strongly advised to become familiar with the [http://www.turkol.pl/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7&Itemid=3 Turkol website]. Recent examples have included trips around Katowice, Gdansk and Gdynia Docks.

[543/535] (ERA-E 76B2 'not shown'; ERA-R 179B; ''C12/R4'') PL24/1 <br/ >
A long closed and lifted curve avoiding Białystok connecting the Czeremcha and Ełk lines has been reinstated and was used by diversions between 4 May and 11 June 2022. The timetable PDFs showed '>' markers at Białystok against some TLK's, and increased running times for T543 local services which reversed at Białystok Starosielce and appeared between there and Białystok in table 535. There was no use in 2022-23 and none in the 2023-24 timetable period-->
 
====Białystok - Białystok Zielone Wzgórza - Białystok Starosielce====
[535] (ERA-E 76B2; ERA-R 179B; ''C12/R4'') PL24/1
 
There are two single track routes from Białystok to Białystok Starosielce,
 
* Option [A] the short curve [line 38] previously used by passenger services in both directions, and
* Option [B] a long curve [line 515] initially following table 543 towards Bielsk Podlaski before curving away north over the Warszawa main line. <br/ >
 
The longer curve [B] was upgraded, with all passenger services in both directions using it from 29 January 2023  as the short curve was engineering work closed. Then a new station named Białystok Zielone Wzgórza opened on 3 September 2023 situated right at the Białystok Starosielce/Bielsk Podlaski line split. This has four platform faces, two on the Warszawa main line, plus one each on tracks leading to the short or long curves, but after the short curve [A] re-opened on 10 December 2023, the station Peron sheets confirmed these curves are not being used as a grade separated junction as there is scheduled use of the long curve outbound from Białystok and short curve inbound from Ełk and this pattern continues in the March 2024 timetable updates
 
Therefore to find the scheduled route, check the [https://portalpasazera.pl/en/Plakaty Białystok Zielone Wzgórza Peron sheets] as any service booked to call at Białystok Zielone Wzgórza Peron 1 track 1 must use the short curve [A] and Peron 2 track 3 the long curve [B].
 
====Białystok Peron 4 - Line 556 - Białystok Zielone Wzgórza peron 2 track 3 OR Bielsk Podlaski line====
[535] (ERA-E 76B2; ERA-R 179B; ''C12/R4'') PL24/2
 
Line 556 runs from the south east side of Białystok station through the middle of the freight yards to Białystok Zielone Wzgórza. This is a new 2023/24 option during the ongoing reconstruction of Białystok station, and travel via this route was confirmed from a January 2024 report on 15103. 


A long closed and lifted curve avoiding Białystok, connecting the Czeremcha and Elk lines, has been reinstated. This was shown in table 543 in the the March 2022 timetable as being used between 4 May and 11 June 2022. The timetable PDF  showed '>' markers at Bialystok against some TLK's, and also increased running times for local services, which reversed at Białystok Starosielce and appeared there in table 535.
Map view shows use of this route continuing into the March timetable period for all services booked to arrive or depart from Peron 4 at Białystok, and suggesting at least two trains continue to use it throughout the 2023-2024 timetable.

Note the Mały Atlas shows an 800m long line 745 from the west end of the goods yard curving underneath the Inowrocław main line to line 425, but this would require running through the complete length of the goods yard so is unlikely to be used by passenger services.

* Private operator SKPL had the contract to operate all traffic and maintain this branch and ran summer passenger trains in previous years [PKP Line 212] SSuO from July to September plus a few other dates. [http://shortlines.pl/ Their website] reveals no services ran in 2020 nor 2021 and a September 2021 Press Article advises SKPL have given notice to terminate the contract to operate freight services on the branch which will therefore expire on 31 December 2021. Running of future passenger trains look doubtful and no services are shown on the SKPL website as at June 2022. This entry will be deleted in December 2022.

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 called Sucha Beskidzka Zamek. Use of the relevant North to West and South to West curves can be identified by appropriate services calling at Sucha Beskidzka.

Most of this line is due to be modernised and become/replaced by the under construction high speed line from Podłęze near Kraków to Zakopane and Nowy Sącz which will join its formation at a triangular junction.
 
* The Voivodship through Małopolskie Szlaki Turystyki Kolejowej have in previous years organised limited specials covering the complete ex passenger line worked by diesel SM42-1031 [http://kolejegalicyjskie.pl/rozklad-jazdy/ website here] but the 2023 details did not appear until July, all ran from Nowy Sącz and none were to/from Chabówka. As the 135 all year PDF shows all PKP services from Chabówka – Rabka Zdrój are bustituted throughout 2023/24 it is reasonable to assume any 2024 specials would be the same. 
* Previously additional steam specials were run by [http://skansenchabowka.pl/wakacyjne-pociagi-retro-dolina-skawy-2023/ The Chabówka Museum] but in 2023 they ran between Chabówka and Osielec on the Kraków main line.  A Gen post implied passengers were being carried to/from the Skansen so whether their website remark saying "passengers getting on or off the train at the Skansen in Chabówka are obliged to buy an entrance ticket in accordance with the price list. If you are not interested in accessing the Skansen, please go to the Chabówka railway station where all retro trains also stop." still applies is not known as a 2022 traveller on a MSTK special advised no travel into the Skansen was allowed.


* The Region through Małopolskie Szlaki Turystyki Kolejowej have organised limited specials covering the complete ex passenger line worked by diesel SM42-1031 [http://kolejegalicyjskie.pl website here] departing from Nowy Sącz on 17 July, 31 July, 14 August, 28 August 2022. These run at 1050 returning 1430 or 1630 - 2000. The 17 July special definitely ran.
====Chabówka and the new avoiding line====
* Two SSuO pairs of "Cargo Retro" services from 2 July to 28 August 2022 are included in the 136 PDF but note the details on [http://skansenchabowka.pl/wakacyjne-pociagi-retro-do-kasiny-wielkiej-2022/ the Chabowka Museum] website claim the services start from and return to the Depot and run only to Kasina Wielka and that tickets can only be bought on the train. It actually says "passengers getting on or off the train at the Skansen in Chabówka are obliged to buy an entrance ticket in accordance with the price list. If you are not interested in accessing the Skansen, please go to the Chabówka railway station, where all retro trains also stop."

Most of this line is due to be modernised as the new high speed line from Kraków to Zakopane and Nowy Sacz will join its formation at a triangular junction.
A newly constructed north to south avoiding curve opened on 22 December 2023, with trains using it calling at a new Chabówka Stadion station to the south of the curve. Some services still run in and out of Chabówka using the north to east and east to south curves with a reversal [but not one stop further to Rabka Zdrój as this is shown bus replaced for all of 2023/24]. Services using the avoiding curve show a < at Chabówka and Rabka Zdrój.

Note this is the only passenger service east of Chelm meaning Dorohusk had no service during its Covid suspension until 15 September 2021.

A daytime pair using Ukrainian DMUs commenced running through to Chełm on 12 June 2017, initially successful and increased to two pairs, subsequently reduced to one in December 2018.

This otherwise freight only branch has had a sponsored summer weekend only service in recent years and it is usual for a PDF to appear later in the year, as once again it is not showing in those issued in December 2023. There were two train pairs SSuO from 24 June until 27 August in 2023. Note an approved kolej+ re-opening bid will mean replacement of the currently used last 10km by a new alignment north of Okuninka Białe via Okuninka to a new station at Włodawa Miasto as the current Włodawa station is 4km from the town centre. A construction start is planned for 2027.

The Magistrala węglowa (Coal Trunk Line) is a major south - north freight artery which, for EGTRE purposes, can be considered as running from Herby Nowe through Zduńska Wola Karznice to Inowrocław. The 258 km route was table 315 in the PKP timetable, but its local passenger service ended many years ago and since then a table has appeared intermittently. In recent times, it only shows the Warszawa - Inowrocław Rąbinek - Poznan pair of any services actually using 315, seasonal and part line diversionary use are not included.
The Magistrala węglowa (Coal Trunk Line) is a major south - north freight artery which, for EGTRE purposes, can be considered as running from Herby Nowe through Zduńska Wola Karznice to Inowrocław. The 258 km route was table 315 in the PKP timetable, but its local passenger service ended many years ago and since then a table has appeared intermittently. In recent years, of the entries in it very few with the exception of the Warszawa - Inowrocław Rąbinek - Poznan pair actually use "315", as seasonal and part line diversionary use were not included. So with PKP announcing on issuing the 2023/24 timetable that all seasonal services using this line were to be diverted via other routes, it was unexpected that a one weekend Pilgrim Special pair appeared in 315!
   
   
There are numerous curves and connections with the Coal Trunk Line, some used frequently, others much less so or not for many years. For this reason a route-based approach has been taken with every connection or section given a number in the schematic diagram below. These are then quoted in the headings of each entry to allow easy identification of sections in use.

No scheduled use in 2021/22. Last passenger use was engineering work diversions from March 2020 until 13 March 2021 when all trains between Czechowice Dziedzice and Chybie used lines on the south side of Zabrzeg Czarnolesie goods yard as confirmed by < markers at Zabrzeg and Zabrzeg Czarnolesie.
The 147 PDF shows all westbound services towards Chybie with < markers at Zabrzeg and Zabrzeg Czarnolesie meaning diversion via this 4km route from 10 March - 14 December 2024. Map view confirms this, as it does for all Katowice towards Skoczów services on 146 and plots then taking the same nearest the main line option on the south side of Zabrzeg Czarnolesie goods yard as the previous passenger use from March 2020 until 13 March 2021 but '''confirmation of this would be appreciated by the Compilers'''.

Almost all trains between Zielona Góra and Sulechów (- Zbąszynek) avoid Czerwieńsk by the south <=> east avoiding curve (podg Czerwieńsk Południe - podg Czerwieńsk Wschodnia) opened on 9 June 2013. A small number of services still use the old line from the avoiding curve east junction to Czerwieńsk station which crosses underneath the Zielona Góra line to the south side of the two-sided Czerwieńsk station. Additionally these services also use a significant connection to/from the Zielona Góra line at the east end of Czerwieńsk station. Services were suspended from 16 March 2020 when the line through Sulechów was closed for long term engineering work and despite the December 2021 timetable showing trains resuming from 13 March, later versions show this has been deferred to no earlier than 6 November 2022.  
Use resumed on 12 March 2023 after an engineering work closure since 16 March 2020. Following opening of the south <=> east avoiding curve (podg Czerwieńsk Południe - podg Czerwieńsk Wschodnia) on 9 June 2013. this entry indicates use of the old line from the east junction to/from Czerwieńsk station. These services cross underneath the Zielona Góra line to the south side of the two-sided Czerwieńsk station, then also use a significant connection to/from the Zielona Góra line at the east end of Czerwieńsk station, explaining why the timings towards Gorzów Wielkopolski are shown from Zielona Góra Przylep and not Czerwieńsk.

With recent re-instatement of the Zielona Góra - Czerwieńsk - Guben [DB] service there may be increased use of the connection to/from the Zielona Góra line at the east end of Czerwieńsk station. This would only be possible going via Peron 3 Track 4 as used by the above services but the Peron sheets since have shown all Guben [DB] services scheduled to use Peron 1 or 2.

No use in 2021/22, see PL22/29 for use of just podg Kucelinka – line 155 - Poraj to/from Częstochowa Stradom as this entry is for the alternative route between Częstochowa Osobowa [main station] and Poraj.

What appears to be a grade separated junction for the Częstochowa - Koniecpol line is actually separate routes as line 701 on the east side is used by Koniecpol passenger services in both directions. Any service relevant to this entry uses freight Line 703 that diverges at the north end of Częstochowa Towarowa (marshalling yard) to run on the far west side of this yard to Częstochowa Raków [where a temporary platform was provided on the goods lines for the early 2020 diversionary use] before climbing on the west side of the main line to go over the Katowice main line to podg Kucelinka. Here it joins the passenger route from Częstochowa Stradom to Koniecpol and also where Line 155 to Poraj [separate use as per PL22/29] diverges. Note there is '''no''' connection between line 701 on the east side and line 155 to Poraj at podg Kucelinka.

A new partial version of the above entry is necessary as a < at Częstochowa Raków in table 109 for a service via Koniecpol, as map view shows the following train leaving Częstochowa main station and diverted from Częstochowa Towarowa onto freight lines avoiding Częstochowa Raków main platforms and then the climbing freight only line 703 on the west side of the main line to go over the Katowice main line to podg Kucelinka.
No known scheduled use of this combination in 2023/24 as without time consuming searches of map view it is now impossible to identify non-stop services as a permanent platform 1 Track 85 opened on goods line 703 at Częstochowa Raków from late in 2022. Since then any non-stop services show |, the identical marker to the normal route so only local services calling at platform 1 Track 85 to/from Koniecpol are guaranteed to use this entry but there are none in the 2023/24 Peron sheets issued in March 2024.

There are three possible routes between Częstochowa Stradom and Poraj and two pair use of [B] continues into 2023/24. In order by known use:-


* [A] From Częstochowa Stradom on the line to Koniecpol to/from podg Kucelinka and then via line 155, usually, but not since 2021 indicated by a '<' symbol in table 102 against Częstochowa Raków and Korwinów. This route was in use ongoing from March 2021 but this seems to have ended by September 2022.
* [A] From Częstochowa Stradom on the line to Koniecpol to/from podg Kucelinka and then via freight line 155, historically, but not since 2021 indicated by a '<' symbol in table 102 against Częstochowa Raków and Korwinów. When Częstochowa Stradom to Kraków services stopped running via Koniecpol this became the preferred route, but only until September 2022.
* [B] Line 702 is a curve from Częstochowa Stradom to Częstochowa Raków with a connection to/from main line 102. Previously scheduled for one train for one night in October 2020, as a late alteration to the PDFs issued or 5 September 2022, all 4 pairs of Częstochowa Stradom to Kraków services are diverted via this curve and the line to the west side of Częstochowa Raków yard in map view until at least 5 November 2022. The two pairs that call at stations on table 102 now appear in that with a | marker at Korwinów meaning they are not booked via option [A] but '''confirmation that this route is being taken would be appreciated by the Compilers'''.
* [B] From Częstochowa Stradom via curve 702 to the north end of Częstochowa Raków yard, then part of line 703 on the far west side and complete length of the yard to/from a connection with main line 102 to the south of Częstochowa Raków platform 1 Track 85. Use was scheduled for one train on one night in October 2020, then as a late alteration to the Autumn 2022 PDFs, all 4 pairs of Częstochowa Stradom to Kraków services were diverted from option [A] to [B] until two pairs changed to run via 109 and Koniecpol from 6 November 2022.

The alternative is line 202 from Gdynia Główna between platforms 3 and 4 (crossovers allow access from other platforms) which passes under and then alongside line 250 on non-platform tracks at Gdynia Chylonia after which it becomes single track and runs to the north side of Cisowa Elektrowozownia EMU depot parallel with 250 to bypass Rumia Janowo platforms, this single track is also believed to be bi-directional. Note although largely parallel with line 250 there are significant divergences at the diveunder west of Gdynia Stocznia-Umorski and after Gdynia Cisowa.

The following operating pattern appears to apply in the December 2021-22 PKP timetable update but there are many exceptions by PolRegio/PKP IC services leaving or regaining line 202 by crossovers at Gdynia Chylonia:
The following operating pattern appears to have applied since the December 2021-22 PKP timetable update, with the numbers of exceptions reducing markedly from the 2022-23 timetable:


* Line 250 is used by local services stopping all stations to Rumia. From Gdynia Główna to Gdynia Chylonia platform 1 is used only by local stopping services.
* Line 250 is used by local services stopping all stations to Rumia. From Gdynia Główna to Gdynia Chylonia platform 1 is used only by local stopping services.
* Line 202 is used by IC services and also local services that only call at Gdynia Chylonia and have no other intermediate stops between Gdynia Główna and Rumia.

Some assistance is given by < markers in table 452 at local stations other than Gdynia Chylonia or | at local stations between Gdynia Chylonia and Rumia. However, on some dates these services take lines 250/202 or vv between Gdynia Chylonia and Rumia...  
====Gdynia Główna approaches alternative: line 963====
[452] (ERA-E 75A5, not shown; ERA-R 172B4 not shown; R2) PL24/43<br/ >
There is a 1km single track line 963 to/from the higher numbered platforms at Gdynia Główna with pointwork allowing it to be used by both arrivals and departures to/from Rumia and identified by a < at ''only'' Gdynia Stocznia Universytet Morski. This routing avoids the flyover line 250 via Gdynia Stocznia-Uniwersytet Morski platforms or the parallel lines 202 and 960 which go underneath line 250 and was indicated against services running on just 9/10 September 2023, with the PKP Journey Planner Map view showing use of 963 in both directions. There are none with such a marking in the March 2024 PDF.  


There is a 1km alternative route line 963 from the higher numbered platforms at Gdynia Główna with pointwork for both arrivals and departures to/from the west but note this avoids Gdynia Stocznia. The PKP Journey Planner Map view does not show this and there are no services in table 452 showing only a < at Gdynia Stocznia. Line 963 joins line 250 before Gdynia Grabowek avoiding the flyover over line 202 so '''any reports of usage of line 963 would be welcomed by the compilers'''.   
Additionally as the northern junction of line 963 with main line 250 is south of Gdynia Grabowek platforms, a report was received of TLK 402 19:00 Hel to Bohumin on 11 July 2023 [previous stop Puck 20:00 and via the west side of Gdynia Cisowa Depot and the main line south of Gdynia Chylonia] taking line 963 en route to P5 at Gdynia Główna so '''any additional reports of use of line 963 would be welcomed by the Compilers'''.

It is believed the track layout does not allow trains to/from Działdowo Peron III to reach the diveunder line so as trains from Iława Peron I & II can reach Line 968, only those using Peron III are guaranteed to use line 968. Additionally all Olsztyn - Iława - Malbork services use connections at the Olsztyn end of the station to cross to the north side platforms.

Only one train uses this curve from 4 September 2022.  
This 15.8km route allows trains from Kraków via T140 to proceed towards Częstochowa or the CMK or vice versa avoiding Katowice. Use is identifiable by IC/TLKs appearing in T140 with < from Jaworzno Szczakowa to and including Katowice, and timings or a | to/from Kraków and Jaworzno Szczakowa or in T102 with > from Dabrowa Gornicza Zabkowice to Katowice. Additionally map view has also confirmed this route used occasionally by T100 Warszawa - Kraków services with a < at Miechów. Check journey planner map view for confirmation.


From June 2022 use was reduced to two SSuX and two limited day services from a maximum four SSuX T101 services. New for June 2022 is some are identified from T101 entries, as when it was T105 services diverted, Sosnowiec Głowny is not included in its PDF but use is confirmed in map view and additional time between Sosnowiec Południowy and Katowice Szopienice Południowe. Note these services also use [[#SOSDOR|PL22/47A]]. Previous use was by diverted T105 services for 1½ days in 2021.
Note podg Dorota – Dąbrowa Górnicza Ząbkowice is also used by entries in PL24/52 & PL24/54.

However when scheduled again between August and December 2020 it is believed all northbound services re-joined the normal passenger route by at least Łazy, as would any currently timetabled option [B] local services.

[166] (ERA-E 77A2-B2; ERA-R 188A2-A3; ''G7'' ''R16/17'') PL22/60


A regular local service was re-introduced [again!] from the December 2021 timetable but all eastbound services towards Bytom were initially diverted via a 5km long alternative via lines 200 & 711 from immediately on departing Gliwice. Map view showed this but from June 2022, and confirmed in September 2022, all services checked are shown taking the normal passenger route and taking 16 minutes, so this diversion has ended.  
Previously used by all T105 services for 1½ days in 2021, then in 2021/22 initially by four SSuX services reduced to two SSuX from June 2022, then to one service from September and none from 6 November 2022.


When diverted they ran initially on the north side of the substantial yards via 200, with travellers advising JP map view was then incorrect as the route taken was as per OpenRailwayMap to cross closer towards the main line [albeit at a lower level] until rising to come alongside the inbound from Zabrze main line onto line 711 just before the A1 road overbridge. The tracks remained alongside each other except for separate bridges over lines to/from the freight yards and Katowice Ligota, then map view was correct as Bytom bound services went over the usual inbound route and then on a unique alignment of line 711 to re-join the usual route at Podg Maciejów Płn.

Also note the junction at Bytom with the Katowice main line is east of the platforms and the 166 PDF shows all services are a self contained shuttle. There are no services in the June 2022 Peron sheets from Bytom to/from Katowice using the junction to/from the Gliwice platforms.

Some TLK's and any local booked via the direct line are shown with a < in 153 but note only TLK's to/from Raciborz appear in 153, there are others to/from Kędzierzyn-Koźle identified by timings to/from Wrocław Głowny in 154.

[101, 220] (ERA-E 77A2-B2; ERA-R 188A2; ''R17'') PL24/60


Services not booked to call at Sumina to/from the direct line may, but do not always use tracks that avoid the station platforms.
Four services were shown in the December 2022 PDFs with a < at only Chorzów Batory, and in map view diverting as per the description, a grade separated parallel goods line avoiding all platforms at Chorzów Batory, connecting to/from the main line flyover routing to/from Zabrze west of the platforms. However the March 2023 PDFs showed all four running non-stop through the platforms on the normal main line so this diversion did not take place. The entry is retained as it contains a unique section not covered by other entries but will be deleted if not used during 2024.

There are three routes between Kędzierzyn-Koźle and podg. Stare Koźle. From east to west they are:
 
1. Line 709. This is the normally used passenger route in both directions, a 4 km single track over the avoiding curve line 681 via a staff halt at the PKP depot to/from Peron (platform) I. See 2. & 3. for exceptions.
 
2. Line 151 (northbound). From a traveller's July 2017 observation, its 2021/22 equivalent as below is the only northbound service from T160 booked via a line not shown in the 2011 Mały Atlas but in [https://www.openrailwaymap.org/ OpenRailwayMap]. This initially heads east at podg. Stare Koźle, then underneath Lines 709 and 681 to run parallel to, but up to 30m apart of the southbound track of Line 151 as per entry 3. Both tracks of 151 remain on the west side of the substantial yard and lead to/from only Kędzierzyn-Koźle Peron IV or the station avoiding lines.


New use planned for 2024 and note the Kraków pair also travel via the Zawiercie west to south EGTRE entry. This curve was last scheduled on certain dates in 2020 by the Russian Railways Nice Ville <=> Moskva Belorusskaia train pair when diverted from its usual route.

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. The southern junction at podg. Stare Koźle is grade separated and note any service from Kędzierzyn-Koźle Peron IV towards Rybnik or Racibórz must use this route.  
Major works re-furbishing the station and western approach tracks mean from 13 September 2022 until [according to the journey planner] December 2024, the only passenger trains using the station are table 166 services to/from Gliwice. These use temporary platform 5 Track 22 on the south side of the west end freight yard near to the Narrow Gauge Railway platform and reach this via approximately 1km of unusual track from/to the normal passenger lines. The platform location is shown on [https://www.openrailwaymap.org/ OpenRailwayMap] if you drill down to see track yard detail.

[166] (ERA-E 77A2-B2; ERA-R 188A2-A3; ''G7'' ''R16/17'') PL23/66


====Kędzierzyn-Koźle avoiding curve====
No scheduled use in 2022/23. A regular local service was re-introduced [again!] from the December 2021 timetable with all eastbound services towards Bytom initially diverted via a 5km long alternative via freight lines 200 & 711 immediately on departing Gliwice. Map view and travellers confirmed this, but from June 2022 all services resumed taking the normal passenger route.
[160/220] (ERA-E 78A3; ERA-R 181C2; ''R14'') PL22/67


Use continues in 2022 but only by international services that can be identified in T 160 by a timing at Ostrava-Svinov and/or Bohumin and < at Kędzierzyn-Koźle. In 2020/21 from 7 November 2020 to 30 July 2021 all Raciborz <=> Kędzierzyn-Koźle local services were also diverted via this curve to reverse and call at Sławięcice on the line towards Gliwice.  
When diverted they ran initially on the north side of the substantial yards via 200, with travellers advising JP map view was then incorrect as the route taken was as per OpenRailwayMap to cross closer towards the main line [albeit at a lower level] until rising to come alongside the inbound from Zabrze main line onto line 711 just before the A1 road overbridge. The tracks remained alongside each other except for separate bridges over lines to/from the freight yards and Katowice Ligota, then map view was correct showing over the usual inbound route and then a unique alignment of line 711 to re-join the usual route at Podg Maciejów Płn.  


Note this curve is significantly grade separated at the south end.
Also note the junction at Bytom with the Katowice main line is east of the platforms and the 166 PDF shows all services are a self contained shuttle, with no services from Gliwice via Bytom to/from Katowice.-->

[160/220] (ERA-E 78A3, not shown; ERA-R 181C2; ''R14'') PL22/68


No scheduled use in 2022. In 2021 until 30 July up to seven express services did not call but used the goods lines parallel to the platforms at Kędzierzyn-Koźle, stopping instead at Kędzierzyn-Koźle Azoty. As a consequence [and the journey planner map view confirms], they also used goods line 680 north of the station. Map view showed all trains taking the southbound non-flyover option of that grade separated section but this is a fault of the system as a report confirmed a northbound service did use the flyover route.

==='''Kępno'''===
See the PDF for the all year SSuO [increased to] two pairs and to note the journey planner map view also shows use by a not listed pair of summer overnights. These are 40170 departing Gliwice at 03:30 and 44170 departing Rybnik at 22:21 from 23 June - 2 September 2024. These appear to take the place of the previous summer overnight Bohumin [CD] - Świnoujście pair that used the south to east curve at Zabrze Makoszowy as per PL24/65 which are not running in 2024.

[155,156] (ERA-E 77A1-A2; ERA-R 188B2-B3; G6, R16/17) PL24/66


Kępno is a two level station. The Poznań - Ostrów - Kluczbork line has high level platforms at right angles to those of the low level Herby Nowe line. There are two north-to-east curves some km's apart connecting the two lines and all services to/from Ostrów Wielkopolski starting or terminating at Kępno use the 1.8km outside curve (Line 812) to/from the low level platforms. These can be identified either in the station [https://portalpasazera.pl/en/Plakaty platform arrival/departure sheets] using Peron II, or from the table 320 PDF as it shows Kępno separately in italics at the top or bottom of the table (depending on direction) for starting or terminating trains.  
A variation of PL24/65, the major difference being the south to west curve to/from Chorzów Batory [therefore not serving Katowice] used by a pair that ran only on 3 September 2023. An exact copy is not scheduled in 2024 but the unique curve is, see PL24/67 and PL24/68.


Additionally there is one pair of IC services that also use the outside curve (line 812) which are the only services between Wieluń Dąbrowa and Kepno as shown in timetable 322, plus since 2019/20 the curve from Herby Nowe to Herby Stare.
====[Mysłowice] - line 655 - 657 - podg Katowice Janów - Katowice Muchowiec - line 171 - podg Panewnik - part 141 -podg Radoszowy - line 651 - podg Hajduki - Chorzów Batory [- Zabrze - Gliwice]====
[140] (ERA-E 77A2-B2; ERA-R 188A2-B2-B3; ''R16/17'') PL24/67


An inside curve to/from 322 bypasses all platforms and is a separate entry.
The 2023/24 timetable shows use of the curve from podg Hajduki to Chorzów Batory, then other sections of unusual track as an alternative route between Chorzów Batory and Mysłowice avoiding Katowice. This is 21km of normally freight only track.

Note unusually the JP map view also shows two variations between east and westbound journeys, eastbound from podg Katowice Janów via a section of 171 and the south side of Katowice Muchowiec yards, westbound on the north side and line 657 to podg Katowice Janów. OpenRailwayMap agrees on the 171/657 split, but suggests the southside option at Katowice Muchowiec is unlikely...

To/from the east of Kraków Nowa Huta the longer single track north side line outside the elevated freight only balloon 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, especially eastbound if schedules show paths crossing in this area. Note both routes are known as line 95 as shown more clearly on [https://www.openrailwaymap.org/ Open Railway Map] than the Mały Atlas Kraków insert, and there is a lengthy grade separated junction of line 95 approaching Podłęże. It has been known for trains in both direction to take the ground level route to/from Podłęże so '''any reports of services not taking the normal route near Podłęże or east of Nowa Huta would be appreciated by the Compilers.'''
1. Line 709. This is the normally used passenger route in both directions, a 4 km single track over the avoiding curve line 681 via a staff halt at the PKP depot to/from Peron (platform) I. See 2. & 3. for exceptions.

No scheduled use in 2022/23. In 2021 until 30 July up to seven express services were shown in map view as not calling but using the goods lines parallel to the platforms at Kędzierzyn-Koźle, stopping instead at Kędzierzyn-Koźle Azoty. As a consequence [and the journey planner map view confirmed], they also used goods line 680 north of the station with all trains shown taking the southbound non-flyover option of that grade separated section but this is a software issue as a report confirmed a northbound service did use the flyover route.-->


==='''Kępno'''===
<!--====Kępno station avoiding curve: Domanin (p.odg. Hanulin) – Wieruszow (podg Kępno Kp1)====
[320/322] (ERA-E 78A5; ERA-R 181C5; ''F6'') PL23/75


Platforms III and IV are used by Kraków Airport services (table 142). New connections were built to/from Kraków Łobzów: (i) the westbound track rises to link with the eastbound line of the western freight avoider (line 95) before it crosses over the main line; (ii) the eastbound track drops down to run parallel with the main line all the way to Kraków Główny. This is known as line 118 in both directions. It should be noted there are occasional trains and periods of the year when services use Peron III or IV in the '''opposite''' direction to that expected, so all journeys should be checked.  
No scheduled use in 2022/23. This north to east inside curve avoids all platforms and was last used between 5 - 19 November 2018. Click on the thumbnail for a map.


Note that line 118 west from Kraków Bronowice is at a higher level than the main line as far as a connecting junction east of Kraków Mydlniki.

[107/140] (ERA-E 78C3; ERA-R 182; ''G8 & R15'') PL22/81


So far identified either by increased running time between Kraków Główny and Kraków Lubocza in T120 or in conjunction with map view from a > at Kraków Główny in 140. In December 2021 one morning service was shown in map view calling twice at Kraków Mydlniki, reversing on the second call to run via the flying junction at Kraków Bronowice onto line 95 to by-pass Kraków Batowice platforms towards Nowa Huta. Previously used between 29 August - 6 November 2021 by one PR Katowice - Rzeszów Główny service avoiding Kraków Główny.

[320/322] (ERA-E 78A5; ERA-R 181C5; ''F6'') PL24/73


There are no services shown using this line in the September 2022 timetable pdfs.
Kępno is a two-level station as the Poznań - Ostrów - Kluczbork line has high level platforms at right angles to those of the low-level Herby Nowe line. There are inside and outside north-to-east curves some km's apart connecting the two lines with all services starting or terminating at Kępno to/from Ostrów Wielkopolski using the 1.8km outside curve (Line 812) to/from the low-level platforms. These can be identified either in the station [https://portalpasazera.pl/en/Plakaty platform arrival/departure sheets] using Peron II, or from the table 320 PDF showing Kępno separately in italics at the top or bottom of the table depending on direction.  


====(Kraków Batowice –) podg Kraków Przedmieśie – Line 602 – Kraków Olsza – Line 100 – Kraków Plaszów====
One pair of IC's also use the outside curve (line 812) and to note these are the only services between Wieluń Dąbrowa and Kępno as shown in timetable 322. They also use the curve from Herby Nowe to Herby Stare, see PL24/47.

This entry allows trains from the Kozłów line (table 107) to avoid Kraków Główny and proceed directly to Kraków Płaszów. Enter 107 in the [https://portalpasazera.pl/en/Tablice/TabliceWgNumeru Search by Table section] and look for trains with a < at Kraków Główny and a time at Kraków Plaszów.

The annual Poznań Główny - Kołobrzeg "Pirat" excursion, initially with steam resumed running to the Port some years ago, joined from 2012 by a separate Diesel hauled excursion "Katamaran" which has not run for the last few years. The 3 June 2023 "Pirat" reached the lighthouse with a diesel so the 2024 versions on 1, 2 & 22 and possibly 23 June 2024 should do likewise. See the [http://www.turkol.pl Turkol website].

The usual route in both directions had been the much longer single-track north side line outside the elevated freight only balloon loop, but after upgrading it would appear eastbound services now take a much shorter inside curve to podg Koscielniki.

In 2022 they initially appeared in table 334 as through services from Zielona Góra running from 12 June - 11 September 2022 but shown only to the branch junction at Toporów with a departure from Zbaszynek at 08:55, or re-appearing at Toporów at 17:47 SSuO.

No scheduled use in 2023/24, last used for a two day period of limited diversions on 9/10 September 2023, eastbound only. A new PDF 120a was included for the first two periods of 2021/22 showing three trains running via or calling at Kraków Olsza to/from Kraków Płaszów but apart from re-appearing in the 4 September 2022 timetable showing no services, it has not been included since! A traveller westbound on KMŁ33478 via Kraków Olsza in March 2022 reported his service to Kraków Główny crossed to the passenger route west of Kraków Łobzów omitting the separate alignment of freight line 100 by-passing Kraków Bronowice platforms, then reversed in Kraków Mydlniki platforms releasing the doors although not booked to call.

By at least July 2022 all passenger trains to/from Jawor are using the normally freight only curve 749 on the south side of the EMU Depot. Trains normally use line 137 on the north side to/from Peron IV or V at Legnica but are shown in the Peron sheets as using Peron I from 12 June until 9 December 2022.

==='''Łódź and the area to the east including Koluszki'''===
Use was indicated by < markers from Kraków Płaszów to Kraków Złocień [and not to Węgrzce Wielkie as that means running via Nowa Huta...] and is an alternative route between Kraków Zablocie and Kokotów avoiding Kraków Płaszów and all stations to and including Kraków Złocień. This was used when the main line was reduced to a single line due to extensive engineering works but was only used eastbound as westbound services used the limited capacity on the main line.
====Łódź Kaliska avoiding line 539 ====
[601/200a B110] (ERA-E 78B5; ERA-R 177B2-B3, ''R11'') PL22/87


After a period of no use from 14 June until 24 August 2020, most IC trains between Warszawa and Ostrow Wielkopolski plus some local ŁKA services now use this curve.
Map view showed them avoiding the platforms at Kraków Płaszów and running via the far northern side of the substantial yards to the east of the station but this was incorrect as it is impossible to reach that north side lines from Kraków Główny. Travellers reported all services used the same route on the southern (eastbound) split of line 100, clearly seen and labelled in [https://www.openrailwaymap.org/ OpenRailwayMap].


====Łódź Chojny - Łódź Olechow Wschód - curve 541 [- Łódź Widzew]====

[602a] (ERA-E 78B5; ERA-R 177B2; ''R11'') PL22/88


The December 2019 timetable change introduced a "circle" service from Łódź Widzew to Łódź Kaliska via three new stations on the southern ring line between Łódź Olechow Wschód and Łódź Chojny. Use significantly increased from 2020/21 with details in a new timetable 602a including additional services running via Łódź Widzew/Łódź Fabryczna [reverse] to/from Łódź Kaliska or the Zdunska Wola line... Curve 541 was previously used only by staff trains, latterly unadvertised, and note this reopening meant reinstatement of the flyover to access curve 541 to/from Łódź Olechów Wschód.

Any use of the remaining section of the southern ring section from Łódź Olechow Wschód to Bedoń will be shown separately in PL22/89.
When the newish station was built at Kraków Bronowice as part of the western approach improvement works for Kraków Główny, it has platforms [Peron I and II] on the existing main line (table 140) and [Peron III and IV] on the previous high level goods line.

====(Łódź Chojny –) Łódź Olechów Wschód - Bedoń (- Koluszki)====
Platforms III and IV are now used by Kraków Airport services (table 142) and new connections were built to/from Kraków Łobzów: (i) a new westbound track rising to link with the eastbound track of the western freight avoider (line 95) before it crosses over the main line; (ii) eastbound dropping down to run parallel with the main line all the way to Kraków Główny. This is known as line 118 in both directions and it should be noted that services have been known to use Peron III or IV in the '''opposite''' direction to that expected, so all journeys should be checked.
[601/200] (ERA-E 78B5; ERA-R 177B1; ''R11'') PL22/89


There are two routes between Łódź Chojny and Bedoń: the normal passenger route via Łódź Widzew or the southern ring line via Łódź Olechów and this entry identifies services running direct between Łódź Olechów Wschód and Bedoń. Normally only used by trains to/from Łódź Chojny, in Summer/Autumn 2022 some Łódź Widzew and Koluszki services are shown in map view reversing at Łódź Olechów Wschód without calling with extended running time but note similar services in early 2021/22 were cancelled before running so please check the JP before travel.  
Note line 118 west from Kraków Bronowice is at a higher level than the main line as far as a connecting junction east of Kraków Mydlniki.


Last use by diverted PR services between 29 April and 15 May 2019 and by one ŁKA service from December 2021 to June 2022. Note towards Łódź trains are shown with a Koluszki departure time as they will also use parallel unusual tracks to the normal Łódź bound main line and Bedon is a "V" station.

From 12 June 2022 all passenger trains to/from Jawor were using the normally freight only curve 749 on the south side of the EMU Depot to/from Peron I, services normally use line 137 on the north side to/from Peron IV or V. The March 2024 Peron sheets show most services still using Peron I but others using Peron V so prospective travellers should check the journey planner and stations screens for the up to date position.

[200a/601 B110] (ERA-E 78B5; ERA-R 177B2-B3, ''R11'') PL24/85


Train use falls into two distinct groups :-
After a period of no use from 14 June until 24 August 2020, most IC trains between Warszawa and Ostrow Wielkopolski plus some local ŁKA services now use this curve.


[A] some Łódź area to Skierniewice and Warszawa or v.v. services in 601 calling at both Żakowice Południowe and Koluszki. In the September 2022 PDF these are shown with a footnote mentioning a call at Żakowice Południowe. <br >
====Łódź Chojny - Łódź Olechow Wschód - curve 541 - Łódź Andrzejów [- Łódź Widzew]====
[B] from the Łódź area to/from Tomaszów Mazowiecki that pass through or call at Żakowice Południowe and reverse in platform 3 at Koluszki shown in 114.
[602a] (ERA-E 78B5; ERA-R 177B2; ''R11'') PL24/86


Use has previously been indicated by either a timetable footnote sometimes with a *, or a < marker against Żakowice but use by non-stop services has also been reported. A new from September 2022 table 102a clearly shows these non-stopping services by a < symbol at Żakowice for trains Łódź <=> Koluszki <=> Piotrków Trybunalski with a footnote indicating whether they stop at Żakowice Południowe.  
The December 2019 timetable change introduced a "circle" service from Łódź Widzew to Łódź Kaliska via three new stations on the southern ring line between Łódź Olechow Wschód and Łódź Chojny with details in a new timetable 602a. Curve 541 was previously used only by staff trains, latterly unadvertised, and note this reopening meant reinstatement of the flyover to/from Łódź Olechów Wschód and Łódź Andrzejów.

There are two routes between Łódź Chojny and Bedoń: the usual albeit longer passenger route via Łódź Widzew or the southern ring line via Łódź Olechów Wschód and this entry lists services running direct between Łódź Olechów Wschód and Bedoń identified in T601 by no call at Łódź Widzew and < markers from Justynów to Łódź Dąbrowa.

Note any entries would also use parallel tracks to the normal Koluszki - Łódź main line pair to/from the east of Bedon which is a "V" station. <br/ >
Additionally note a Bedoń to Łódź Olechów Wschód journey search may find other "direct" services but these either run via a reversal at Łódź Widzew, or [as happened for a time after 6 November 2022] this entry was used by some Łódź Widzew - Koluszki services shown in map view reversing at Łódź Olechów Wschód [without calling] with extended running time. If these latter services repeat they can be identified in table 602a by calls to/from Łódź Fabryczna and Łódź Andrzejów and < to Koluszki.

[550A] (ERA-E 79B4; ERA-R 184A5; ''F12, R4'') PL22/96


This is the route through the Lublin Tatary Goods Yard  by line 67 which starts at Świdnik and rejoins the normal route just before Lublin station.  
Trains between Łódź and Piotrków Trybunalski/Częstochowa that do not call at Koluszki use this west to south curve. Note newish Table 102a now concentrates on Piotrków Trybunalski - Koluszki services as the Łódź IC's using this curve do not appear in this table, see T102 instead.
It was used from an unknown date in 2021 until 28 August by the Piła Główny to Hrubieszów Miasto train pair. Trains using this route may be identified by a < symbol at Lublin Północny. There are none in the 2021-22 timetable.

[114a,114,/601] (ERA-E 78B5-C5; ERA-R 177C1; ''E8'', ''R11'') PL24/89


By November 2019 an additional platform had been built on the furthest south and previously goods only track and it would appear any service booked to arrive/depart at this Peron IV track 111 from the west must use 1.5km long line 935 via the goods yards and the south side of the locomotive Depot.  
There are two possible routes between Łódź and Tomaszów Mazowiecki avoiding Koluszki but only one remains scheduled in 2023/24. <br /> <br />
[A] Line 25, a double track line direct from Żakowice Połudnowie via the closed station and junction at Mikołajów to Wykno used by daily express services in Table 114 PDF to/from Łódź and Tomaszów Mazowiecki with a '<' from Koluszki to Słotwiny or <br />
[B] Line 537, a single track line from Żakowice Połudnowie via podg Zielen to Słotwiny previously indicated in Table 114a PDF by a timing at Słotwiny. Koluszki has now been added to this table and as all trains call there, no service via this route in 2023/24. <br />


It may have been built for use whilst the station platforms were being refurbished as access is from the street and not a station subway with only limited use until 12 March 2021 and nothing since in the Peron sheets. An informed source suggested eight trains would use it in the Autumn 2021 timetable period but a traveller advised his arrival was re-platformed. '''Any reports to confirm actual use would be appreciated by the Compilers'''.

[102a,601,114] (ERA-E 78B5-C5; ERA-R 177C1; ''R11'') PL24/90


Since some time in 2020 this section was booked for use by the Nice - Moskva RZD operated services, but these were suspended during the height of the covid pandemic and in light of the Russia Ukraine war are unlikely to run for the foreseeable future.
Train use falls into three distinct groups :-


====(Lubliniec –) Toszek Północ – Rudziniec Gliwicki (– Kędzierzyn-Koźle)====
[A] some Łódź area to Skierniewice and Warszawa or v.v. services in 601 calling at both Żakowice Południowe and Koluszki. In the December 2023 102a PDF these are shown with a footnote mentioning a call at Żakowice Południowe. <br >
[175] (ERA-E 77A2; ERA-R 182A3; ''G6'') PL22/99
[B] from the Łódź area to/from Tomaszów Mazowiecki that pass through or call at Żakowice Południowe and reverse in platform 3 at Koluszki. These can be identified in table 114a by a < at Żakowice <br >
[C] some Łódź <=> Koluszki <=> Piotrków Trybunalski services in table 102a with a < symbol at Żakowice plus a footnote indicating they stop at Żakowice Południowe.


This is the freight line from the Junction of passenger table 165 south towards Kędzierzyn-Koźle,  last used by PKP diversions in May 2011 and from  some time in 2020 by the Nice - Moskva RZD operated services. The latter were suspended during the the covid pandemic and in light of the Russia - Ukraine war are unlikely to run for the foreseeable future.
Use was previously indicated only in T601 by either a timetable footnote, sometimes with a * or a < marker against Żakowice.  


Note since the 2011 diversions that the southbound flyover part of the grade separated junction at Toszek Północ has been re-instated.

This 36.5 km section of an otherwise freight only line is used by the limited services listed in table 165 which from at least August 2021 include a pair of daily daytime services. In 2021/22 these depart Lubliniec at 11:32 or Gliwice at 15:54 but additionally with a block between Chorzów Batory and Bytom the Katowice - Kluczbork IC's shown with < markers in T180 also run this way until at least 5 November 2022, but do not appear in the 165 PDF.

This system worked by the Pomorskie Towarzystwo Miłośników Kolei Żelaznych (PTMKŻ) with three unusual sections of track is a Spring to Autumn only preserved ex PKP narrow gauge line from Nowy Dwor Gdanski to Sztutowo and Prawy Brzeg Wisły. Details are on their [https://kolejzulawska.pl/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Rozk%c5%82ad-jazdy-%c5%bbKD-2022-lato.pdf 2022 timetable] but note after the May Bank Holiday weekend, the Nowy Dwór Gdański - Stegna Gdanska service is suspended until further notice due to renovation of the Rybina swing bridge.

====Stegna Gdanska====
<!--====Western approach to Lublin: Line 935 via Goods Yard====
This is a triangular station with platforms on all three sides with the south to east curve to/from Sztutowo only timetabled sporadically. Their website advised use by one pair on 30 April, 1-3 May 2022 departing Nowy Dwór Gdański 07:30 and Sztutowo 17:15. Previous scheduled use was in 2021 but only on 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, 26 September, before then only in 2017 and 2013.
[550/555] (ERA-E 79B4; ERA-R 184A5; ''F12, R4'') PL23/104


====Sztutowo====
None scheduled in 2022/23. An additional platform had been built by November 2019 on the furthest south and previously goods only track, and any service booked to arrive/depart at this Peron IV track 111 from the west must use 1.5km long line 935 via the goods yards and the south side of the locomotive Depot.  
If travelling to/from Sztutowo on either a loco hauled train or a railcar towing trailers it will reverse around a triangle on arrival or departure at Sztutowo as there is no run round loop.


====Nowy Dwor Gdanski - Cementarz-Komunalny====
As access to this platform is from the street and not the station subway it would appear this may have been for during the main station platforms refurbishment as nothing has been scheduled to use it since 12 March 2021. '''Any reports to confirm use would be appreciated by the Compilers'''.-->
Hourly shuttles run for "All Saints" on the last weekend in October and are the only services running south from Nowy Dwor Gdanski [1.4km]. Those planned for 2020 were cancelled the day before they were due to run due to additional Covid restrictions but their [https://kolejzulawska.pl/rozklad-jazdy/ website] confirms these services ran on 30, 31 October and 1 November 2021.

[200, 321] (ERA-E 77C4; ERA-R 181B5; ''F5'') PL21/102


Most trains between Ostrów Wielkopolski and Wrocław Główny take the direct route via the north to west curve (Dąbrowa Oleśnicka – Oleśnica Rataje – Borowa Oleśnica (p.odg. Łukanów)) avoiding Oleśnica. However some take this north-to-east curve into Oleśnica station and reverse. Either a timing or < against Oleśnica indicates which route is taken. Note this curve and the north to west curve consist of separate single lines between Dąbrowa Oleśnicka and Oleśnica Rataje.
No known use in 2024. In 2023, the [http://shortlines.pl/ SKPL] timetable and PKP map view confirmed diversions via this 0.986km avoiding curve, Stalowa Wola Rozwadow and Zwierzyniec [reverse] of the eastbound service towards the Ukraine with calls at Lublin Zachodni between the 7-9 November 2023. PKP JP map view in fact showed both directions diverted, even though the SKPL website timings showed the westbound service still calling at Lublin Główny. This may have been the first ever scheduled passenger use and note this train is non-stop to/from Lublin and the Ukraine and tickets are only available on the UZD website.

====Opole Głowne connecting line====
[175/201/215] (ERA-E 78A4; ERA-R 181C3 too detailed to be shown;  ''R14'') PL24/98
None scheduled in 2023/24. Opole Głowne is a "v" station with the junction at the west end, with an east end bay platform and a 300m connection across from the south to the north side tracks. This was previously only a reversing siding adjacent to Bay Peron 1 Track 3 but has had a platform built serving it to become Peron 1a track 5. Following use of this link by a Branch Line Society June 2022 Tour it took until 11 June 2023 for any Peron sheet timetabled use which continues, but as all are to/from Kędzierzyn-Koźle they would not use this connecting line.
==='''Ostrów Wielkopolski'''===

[200, 320] (ERA-E 78A5; ERA-R 176C1;  ''E5'') PL24/99
Use continues in 2023/24. Some Łódź - Poznań services were supposedly temporarily diverted via Kalisz and this curve when their usual route via Kutno was closed for long term engineering work, but they and local services introduced later are still operating. Note the KW services do not appear in table 200 PDFs.

An hourly local service was shown as resuming from 13 March 2022 but only the 4km from Skawina to Podbory Skawińskie actually did. The September 4 timetable revision shows trains running from Skawina to Zator and Przeciszów, commencing in early October 2022. If a full service materialises the entry will be deleted in 2023.  
Local services were extended from Przeciszów to Oświęcim on 10 December 2023 so this entry will be deleted in December 2024. This line has re-opened to regular services in stages, 4km from Skawina to Podbory Skawińskie from 13 March 2022, and to Przeciszów on 1 October 2022.  


In summer 2020 there were a pair of trains to the tourist destination at Zator from each end with no onward connection, plus limited overnight trains commencing from 30 August 2020. In the June 2022 timetable pdfs there is only a service from Kraków to Zator, clearly shown in table 141.
Note the avoiding curve east junction is west of where the Skawina line joins the line from Trzebinia.

If any services to/from the Walcz or Szczecinek lines are booked to arrive or depart from Piła Glowna Peron V or VI they must use this alternative 2.3km route via the Goods Yard and connecting line 999. Previously used in June and September 2020 for the few days the Kostryzn - Gdynia TLK was diverted via Szczecinek, but there is no use in the September 2022 timetable.
None scheduled in 2023/24 for this alternative 2.3km route via the Goods Yard and connecting line 999 and not scheduled since the Peron sheets showed the Kostryzn - Gdynia TLK diverted via Szczecinek for a few days in June and September 2020. This entry is retained as pointwork allows any train to/from Peron 1 to 4 and the Szczecinek or Walcz lines to run via line 999 to avoid a conflict on the single-track section to/from podg Piła Północ, as opposed to guaranteed use of line 999 by any such services booked to arrive or depart from Piła Glowna Peron 5 or 6.

The Przemyśl Główny Peron sheets usually showed this service using a Standard gauge platform in both directions and the PKP Journey planner route map via Line 91, but note timings did not preclude use of the gauge changer at Przemyśl. This service was suspended for Covid, only resuming from 14 March until being withdrawn on 10 December 2022 so since then only BG passenger trains have crossed the border.


In recent years the Przemyśl Główny Peron sheets have showed the Wrocław - Kyiv services using a Standard gauge platform in both directions with the PKP Journey planner route map showing booked via Line 91.

The March 2019 PDF for table 530 showed increased running time between Plociczno kolo Suwałk and Suwałki between 3-8 June 2019, the same scenario that happened in mid March 2018 when this diversion previously occurred. Since then any with extra time in this section are shown in the Journey Planner [and Map view] as purely crossing related delays. There is no evidence of use of this curve in the 2021-2022 timetable.
Services continue in 2024 but with lengthy gaps in days of operation. Use can be identified in tables 130 and 131 by < markers at Stróże. They had resumed 1 October 2017 and reached up to eight trains a day from March 2022 when the Kraków - Zagórz TLK's ran this way and not via Rzeszów but the maximum per day in 2024 is two pairs.

No use in 2021/22. An informed source advised of diversions through the eastern part of goods yards approaching Świnoujście from 1 October 2021 but initially not all services were affected. Travellers later in the month confirmed all services were by then diverted from just east of Lubiewo until km 96.2 east of Świnoujście Warszów via 8km of unusual track, albeit a large part parallel to the main line. Note it was not confirmed by < markers in the timetable as the by-passed intermediate station at Świnoujście Przytór was simply omitted from the re-issued 370 PDF.
The limited weekend only use can be identified in T131 by timings at both Stróże and Gorlice Zagórzany. Note all services from September 2024 are bustituted.


The diversion ended on 23 November 2021 and had been shown in the Journey Planner map view, albeit incorrectly as due to recent track work line 996 at the west end of the yards now continues straight and to the south of signal box ŚiA4.

PR Łódź had sponsored a weekend passenger service on this branch, the first since 1988 for summer 2014 but from 2017 services ran only on "Harvest" weekend, in 2019 three pairs on 14/15 September. No details of any services in 2021 have been located but in 2020 trains ran SSuO from 8th - 30th August, tickets were free but only on application through email as per [https://polregio.pl/pl/dla-podroznych/informacje/pociagiem-polregio-do-spaly-bezplatne-przejazdy-2020/ this PolRegio link].
There are two routes: on the north side of Toruń Towarowy yard climbs over the Bydgoszcz line whereas the alternative on the south side passes through Toruń Kluczyki station.

There are two routes: the more northerly via Toruń Towarowy yard climbs over the Bydgoszcz line whereas the alternative passes through Toruń Kluczyki station. Trains calling at Toruń Kluczyki (all PR services) must use the southerly route.

====Warszawa Wschodnia – Warszawa Wschodnia Towarowa – p.odg. Warszawa Antoninów – Warszawa Gocławek – Warszawa Wawer====
Considerable use since the 2020-2021 timetable period in both directions by trains avoiding Warszawa Centralna and Warszawa Zachodnia due to engineering work capacity restrictions. This continues in 2023/24 but note  westbound services have been known to NOT take the longer flyover route.

This is an alternative route (line 506) between Warszawa Wschodnia and Warszawa Gocławek used by any services booked via Otwock with a < against Warszawa Olszynka Grochowska.  Note it is grade separated at Warszawa Antoninów, with the inbound remaining a separate track until the Warszawa Wschodnia approaches.
The numerous Warszawa Wschodnia <=> Warszawa Gdańska services in the current timetable can be found by a direct journey search.


Services were originally shown as resuming via this route from 13 March 2022 but this was delayed until 12 June 2022. This follows a period of no use from 7 November 2021 as all Warszawa - Lublin services via Otwock were shown in the PDF as using the local lines via Warszawa Olszynka Grochowska, a consequence of the major works at Warszawa Zachodnia. From 13 December 2020 the majority of IC services had used this obscure route again once the renovation and doubling of line 614 south of Otwock had completed.
This curve is also used by all entries in PL24/127, PL24/129 and PL24/130.

[608, 610, 613, KM2] (ERA-E 76C5, not correctly shown; ERA-R 174B5, not correctly shown; ''R6, R8'') PL24/127


Running via this route is indicated either in table 550 by a < at Otwock or in 613 by a < from and beyond Minsk Mazowiecki. Much reduced from 11 September 2022.
This connecting route between p.odg. W-wa Michałów and Warszawa Rembertow takes totally different alignments east and westbound and allows trains to/from the Warszawa Rembertow direction to run via Warszawa Gdańska (using PL24/126) or north towards Legionowo.


This was previously the main route for fast trains between Warszawa Wschodnia and Pilawa due to capacity limitations on the single track line via Otwock but has declined since the line south from Otwock was doubled.

==== Chotomów – curve 511 - Legionowo Piaski – (Tłuszcz)====
Use has been scheduled since 2020/21 in both directions and late 2023 saw much increased use by Lublin bound services between 2 - 9 December 2023 as the line via Otwock was partially blocked. <br/>
[609, 608] (ERA-E 76A1; ERA-R 174B5; D9) PL22/148
Just short term diversionary use plus one pair of Pilgrimage trains on two days in the 2023-24 timetable.


Used by a limited DMU service to/from Sierpc and Tłuszcz where the KM Depot is located to avoid a reversal at Legionowo. A service commenced in 2017 and note the curve separates from the main line north of Chotomów station so eastbound timings are given for the stop before. Note these are the only passenger services between Radzymin and Tłuszcz on 609.

====Warszawa Praga - Warszawa Toruńska====
====Routes between Warszawa and Pilawa====
[608] (ERA-E 76C5; ERA-R 174B5; ''R5'') PL22/149


Between 23 and 28 August 2020 many KM services to/from Warszawa Gdanska and Legionowo had < markers at Warszawa Praga and Warszawa Toruńska but these used parallel non-platform lines rather than through the freight yard. For a passenger service to run the complete length of the yard and the grade separated junction at the north end, the PDF should also show a < marker at Warszawa Zeran. No use in 2020-21 or 2021-22.
There are three routes between Warszawa and Pilawa. All local trains run via Warszawa Olszynka Grochowska and Otwock but as the routes taken by main line services have varied over recent years they are itemised below.


====Czachówek Południowy Czachówek Wschodni====

[550, 613] (ERA-E 76A1; ERA-R 178B2; ''D10/E10'') PL24/128


This south <=> east curve connects the Radom to Warszawa line with the southern freight ring. Up to 12 July 2019 limited Warszawa to Góra Kalwaria (and v.v.) services continued to Czachówek Południowy to reverse and used this curve. No scheduled use in 2020-2021 or 2021-22.
Use re-commenced from 17 September 2023 as indicated in table 550 by services with times at a Warszawa station and Pilawa plus a < at Otwock. Note those services running via Warszawa Gdanska also use PL24/127.  
Running via this route can also be indicated in 613 by a < at and beyond Minsk Mazowiecki.  


====Ustanówek (p.odg. Czachówek Płd Czp 11) – Czachówek Wschodni====
This was previously the main route for fast trains between Warszawa Wschodnia and Pilawa but has significantly declined once south of Otwock was doubled. <br/>
[604, 605] (ERA-E 76A1; ERA-R 174B3; ''E10'') PL22/151


This north <=> east curve connects the Warszawa to Radom line with the southern freight ring and is used by all services in table 604 services to/from Góra Kalwaria.
The 2023-24 timetable has 16 trains using this route in December 2023, but much reduced later so they are listed as follows:-.

Warszawa Wschodnia <=> Warszawa Gdańska services in the current timetable can be found by a direct journey search, with many also using PL21/602A.
This is an alternative route (line 506) between Warszawa Wschodnia and Warszawa Gocławek used by any services booked via Otwock with a < against Warszawa Olszynka Grochowska and Warszawa Grochów.  


====<div id="PL11_70.1"></div>(Warszawa Gdańska/Legionowo –) p.odg. W-wa Michałów – Warszawa Rembertow====
Note this route is grade separated at Warszawa Antoninów, with the inbound track remaining separate until the Warszawa Wschodnia near approaches. This routing has gone in and out of scheduled use over the years, most recently suspended when doubling of line 614 south of Otwock and four tracking south from Warszawa Gocławek towards Otwock was in progress. As part of the four tracking there will be two fast tracks on the east side and two local tracks on the west, so the flyover north from Warszawa Gocławek previously used by all northbound services towards Warszawa Olszynka Grochowska has been demolished.   <br/>

This connecting line between p.odg. W-wa Michałów and Warszawa Rembertow takes totally different alignments east and westbound and allows trains from the Warszawa Rembertow direction to continue west to Warszawa Gdańska (using PL22/154) or north towards Legionowo.

A new entry from 11 June 2023 for a new service pattern of direct services from Warszawa Gdańska to Otwock or v.v. running via approximately half of two existing entries, PL24/127 & PL24/129. These can be identified in 550 by calls at Otwock and Warszawa Gdańska but no call at Warszawa Wschodnia.
====Warszawa Zachodnia Peron 9 [Ex Peron 8/ Ex Warszawa Wola]====
[608] (ERA-E 76C5; ERA-R 174B5; ''R6'') PL22/156


Local services to/from Legionowo Piaski/Warszawa Gdanska usually terminate at Warszawa Zachodnia Peron (platform) 9 on a sharp curve in relation to the main station platforms but from December 2019 there was an hourly experimental service continuing to Warszawa Lotnisko Chopina using the connection to the main lines. This was scheduled until 26 September 2020 and so popular that after complaints they were re-instated from 11 November 2020.  A Press Notice then stated they could only until run until 14 March 2021 due to Warszawa Zachodnia station improvement works but would resume after that ends in late 2023.
{| class="ostable"

The two main and two local line tracks take different routes between these stations, the main splitting around the flyover junction with line 615 outside Zachodnia, the local lines separating to run either side of an EMU Depot and sidings but this entry highlights a separate fifth track. This commences in-between the two local lines to the east of Warszawa Włochy, climbs over the outbound local track and has a separate alignment approaching Warszawa Zachodnia. It appears to be reversible, but its prime function is to allow inbound main line services from Sochaszew on line 606 a non-conflicting approach to the north side platforms at Warszawa Zachodnia. For the same reason any local services from lines 601/606 to the recently re-opened Warszawa Głowna use this fifth track and a few call at Warszawa Włochy departing at 06:36, 08:17, 08:53 SSuX, 08:53 SSuO. This route is clearly shown in journey planner map view.
 
From at least early April 2022 both main line tracks to/from the west from Zachodnia and the eastbound local track were lifted resulting in increased use of this “5th track” route.
 
====Warszawa Zachodnia "avoider": Warszawa Aleje Jerozolimskie - Line 510 - part line 20 - Warszawa-Gołąbki [- Line 19 - Piastów]====
[601, 612] (ERA-E 76C5; ERA-R174B4; ''R7, R5'') PL22/158
 
A new IC service started in 2019/20 between Warszawa Lotnisko Chopina and Łódź Fabryczna running via the above previously freight only route. Trains ran approximately two hourly with gaps but were suspended due to Covid from 18 March 2020. It was shown resuming on 8 November 2020 but did not do so and has not reappeared in the 2020-21 or the 2021-22 timetable.
 
There was however partial use of the route in the 2021-2022 timetable by one late night train for a short period. This train ran from Warszawa Aleje Jerozolimskie via line 510 and line 20 to the end of Warszawa Główna Towarowa freight yard,  reversed and took line 509 to Warszawa Gdańska. There is a further short period with the same routing in summer 2022.

This route allows trains from Warszawa Wschodnia/Warszawa Gdańska avoid Warszawa Centralna and Warszawa Zachodnia to/from the CMK, Koluszki or destinations such as Łódź, Częstochowa and Wrocław. '''In excess of 15 trains, each way, make use of this diversion from 14 March 2021 until at least 11 December 2022 due to engineering works at Warszawa Zachodnia.''' Warszawa Wschodnia <=> Łódź Fabryczna trains are especially likely to use this route.
 
The trains using the route can most easily be identified from the '''All Year''' arrival and departure sheets for Warszawa Gdańska [https://portalpasazera.pl/en/Plakaty Peron sheets]. Alternatively look at timetables 100, 601 and departures/arrivals at Warszawa Gdańska, some from/to Warszawa Wschodnia or those that do not call at Warszawa Centralna and Warszawa Zachodnia and have twelve < symbols and two | symbols at Pruszków.

For via Sochaszew services, Warszawa Ursus Północny has unfortunately disappeared from the PKP 606 PDF in recent re-issues, making it more difficult to establish use by any fast train, leaving easy identification on diverted KM services in their own [https://www.mazowieckie.com.pl/pl/rozklad-jazdy-pociagow-km-wazny-w-dniach-4-ix-5-xi-2022r local train timetable]. There are no KM diversions via this route so far in 2021/22.

All diverted westbound services from high numbered platforms at Warszawa Zachodnia use a split of line 46 to Warszawa-Czyste dropping down from, and on the north side of the main line. Note this route cannot be accessed from the local lines through Warszawa-Srodmiescie, those must use a split of line 46 that passes underneath the main line, but as at Summer 2022 construction works have blocked this underpass option. The route alternatives are best seen in [https://www.openrailwaymap.org/ OpenRailwayMap].

This entry indicates use of the connections at Warszawa Gołąbki to/from the Sochaszew main line and Warszawa Gdańska as shown clearly on [https://www.openrailwaymap.org/ Open Railway Map]. The Westbound split of 507 is a 1.5km separate line running outside the 606 main line flyover from ''east'' of Warszawa Gołąbki to west of the station platform and to travel this you must be on a service from Warszawa Gdanska towards Sochaczew as any from Warszawa Zachodnia via PL21/160 can only cross to that route to the ''west'' of Warszawa Gołąbki station. There are no main line services in the September 2022 PDFs, just one KM train on one day...

There are no services in the 2023-24 timetable, last uses were short periods of limited train use in the November and mid-summer 2023 timetable updates. This south <=> east curve connects the Radom to Warszawa line with the southern freight ring. Up to 12 July 2019 limited Warszawa to Góra Kalwaria (and v.v.) services continued to Czachówek Południowy to reverse and used this curve.  <br/>
[[File:Wierzchucin.jpg|50px|thumb|left]]<br style="clear: both" />


This is a split station with the junction some way north of the platforms and any service to/from Laskowice Pomorskie via Drzycim [currently suspended] terminates at the east side Peron I on a curve. Therefore the 1km to/from Peron I and the junction is significantly rarer than to/from the west side Bydgoszcz platforms. 
====Ustanówek (p.odg. Czachówek Płd Czp 11) – Czachówek Wschodni====
[604, 605] (ERA-E 76A1; ERA-R 174B3; ''E10'') PL24/133


Note the physical junction is a diamond slip so trains to/from Peron I and Lipowa Tucholska/Szlachta use slightly different pointwork from any to/from Tuchola. From the [https://portalpasazera.pl/en/Plakaty Peron sheets] there had been no scheduled use of Peron I from either direction since 11 December 2020 but when services to/from Lipowa Tucholska/Szlachta resumed on 13 March 2022, north access to/from Peron 1 is used by quite a few arrivals and departures.
This north <=> east curve connects the Warszawa to Radom line with the southern freight ring and is used by all direct services to/from Warszawa and Góra Kalwaria. Table 604 only shows Czachówek Wschodni and Góra Kalwaria stations but all services are through to/from at least Piaseczno on the main line via this curve. In the 2023-24 timetable most services start/finish at Warszawa Gdańska.

[260] (ERA-E 77C4; ERA-R 180A1; R13) PL22/164


No scheduled use in 2021/22. This is an alternative route for trains between Wrocław Główny and Legnica, passing through Wrocław Gądów freight yard. Use is indicated by a < marker at Wrocław Muchobór. It is shared to Wrocław Gądów by PL22/165 & 166. It was last used by several TLK services between January and June 2020.
No scheduled use in 2022/23. This is a 32 km section of the eastern end of the Warszawa southern freight ring.


====(Wrocław Główny) – podg Wrocław Grabiszyn - Line 753 – Wrocław Gądów – Line 349 - Wrocław Kuźniki====
A Kraków Główny to Kołobrzeg overnight train was shown in the December 2020 timetable pdfs as running via this route from 14 March 2021, but it was re-routed before running.--->
[265] (ERA-E 77C4; ERA-R 180A1; ''R13'') PL22/165


Common with PL22/164 & 166 until Wrocław Gądów with use scheduled from 12 June 2022. This diversion to/from the Głogów line is indicated by a < marker at Wrocław Muchobór. Last scheduled for a Zielona Góra Główna to Warszawa TLK for the first three months of the 2019-2020 timetable.  
<!--====[Czachówek Wschodni -] p.odg Jaźwiny - Pilawa avoider - p.odg Żolnierka====
[605,604] (ERA-E 76A1; ERA-R 178B2; ''E10'') PL23/158


Note that it is not a normal grade separated junction between Wrocław Kuźniki and Wrocław Gądów as pointwork means any service calling at, or running via the platform tracks cannot access the underpass route plus the the non-underpass route is reversibly signalled. For previously diverted inbound trains, of six reports five crossed at Wrocław Kuźniki to run "wrong line" to Wrocław Gądów and just one on a Sunday went via the diveunder.
No scheduled use in 2022/23. This is an entry for a 29 km section of the eastern end of the Warszawa southern freight ring but then via the west to north curve avoiding Pilawa. Last use was 1 September 2018.-->

[240] (ERA-E 77C4; ERA-R 180A1; ''R13'') PL22/166
PKP IC have announced the substantial works in the Warszawa Zachodnia area are planned to end in June 2024 but there are many scheduled between the 3 - 8 June 2024. Use of the many diversions listed to the east and west of Warszawa could then cease, some already have no scheduled use in 2023/24.
 
====Warszawa Zachodnia Peron 9 [Ex Peron 8/Ex Warszawa Wola] connection to main line====
Common with PL22/164 & 165 until Wrocław Gądów and no scheduled use in 2021/22. This route through Gądów yard to/from the Jelenia Gora line is indicated by a > at Wrocław Grabiszyn. Last used between 30 September and 14 October 2017.
[608] (ERA-E 76C5; ERA-R 174B5; ''R6'') PL24/134


====(Wrocław Główny) – Wrocław Muchobór - Line 275 - Wrocław Nowy Dwór====
Following the substantial work west of Warszawa Zachodnia there have been changes to the routes to/from Warszawa Włochy or Warszawa Aleje Jerozolimskie.
[260] (ERA-E 77C4; ERA-R 180A1; R13) PL22/167


What appears to be a grade separated junction between Wrocław Muchobór and Wrocław Nowy Dwór to/from Legnica is not in practice as the majority of services use the south side/inside curve to/from Peron 2. Only services running through or calling at Peron 1 use the diveunder. Main line services have been known to use either route and despite the on-line [https://portalpasazera.pl/en/Plakaty Peron sheet for Wrocław Nowy Dwór] normally showing numerous some services booked to call at Peron 1, a traveller in 2020 advised the Peron sheet displayed at the station showed all services using Peron 2.
From December 2023 limited through KM services commenced running to/from Warszawa Włochy and Warszawa Zachodnia Peron 9 and as confirmed in journey planner map view, these services are shown taking newly designated line 850 outside and on the north side of the flyover towards Warszawa Aleje Jerozolimskie [on the Radom line]. 850 was previously the normal westbound main line track which has been relocated alongside the eastbound to run underneath that Radom line flyover. Note some westbound services listed are not shown in the 601 PDF but in 606, others are included but with no time at Warszawa Zachodnia :-


Note that the Journey Planner map view does not distinguish between the two sides of this junction and some reports received in June 2022 advised their westbound non-stopping semi-fast, or expresses used the outside curve.

====Wrocław Muchobór - Line 757 - Signalbox WS - podg Wrocław Grabiszyn [- Wrocław Głowny]====
Travel between Warszawa Zachodnia Peron 9 and both Warszawa Włochy and Warszawa Aleje Jerozolimskie had previously been via a short link to a flat junction, with anything to/from Warszawa Aleje Jerozolimskie only then using flyover line 8 but historically all services to/from Warszawa Gdanska had terminated at Warszawa Wola/Zachodnia on platforms on a sharp curve some distance away from the main station platforms with nothing scheduled through onto either main line. But from December 2019 there was an hourly experimental service to/from Warszawa Lotnisko Chopina using the flat connection which became so popular that there were many complaints when they were withdrawn on 25 September 2020 so they were re-instated from 11 November 2020. A Press Notice then advised they could only run until 14 March 2021 due to the substantial Warszawa Zachodnia station improvement works but promised they would resume. After the westbound main line had been repositioned line 8 was now a conflict free route to/from Warszawa Zachodnia Peron 9 so regular services resumed from 12 March 2023.
[260] (ERA-E 77C4; ERA-R 180A1; ''R13'') PL22/168
 
As part of the improvement works, a new flyover has been built to allow a conflict free access from line 8 to the middle platforms at Warszawa Zachodnia, this starts from after line 8 crosses over both main line tracks and re-crosses the westbound main line.
 
====Warszawa Włochy - Warszawa Zachodnia [5th track] and new flyover====
[606/601] (ERA-E 76C5; ERA-R 174B5; ''R7'') PL24/135


This is an alternative route between Wrocław Muchobór and podg Wrocław Grabiszyn. Any train booked to call at platform II track 4 at Wrocław Muchobór must run via this route but can only be identified from the [https://portalpasazera.pl/en/Plakaty Peron sheets] as there is no intermediate station for a > marker.
The 5th track commences in-between the two local lines to the east of Warszawa Włochy, [shown on OpenRailwayMap as line 3] as the two main and two local line tracks take different routes between Warszawa Włochy and Warszawa Zachodnia, the local lines additionally separating to run either side of an EMU Depot and sidings. It climbs over the outbound local line and has a separate alignment until approaching Warszawa Zachodnia. It appeared to be previously reversible, but its prime function was to allow inbound main line services from Sochaszew on line 606 a non-conflicting approach to the north side platforms at Warszawa Zachodnia. Any local services from lines 601/606 to the recently re-opened Warszawa Głowna also use this fifth track for the same reason and such journeys are clearly shown in journey planner map view.


Note the physical junction is north of Wrocław Muchobór station platform and the September 2022 PDF shows no booked use. This follows the June sheets showing use throughout the period.
The alignments on the western approaches close to Zachodnia have changed including a new flyover [see PL24/134] so that may have marginally altered the previous 5th track approach location, as this ex Radom flyover line towards W-Zachodnia drops to come alongside this 5th track when previously it was on a unique alignment in that area.

====Wrocław Nadodrze (Wp3 Ląki) – Line 752 – Wrocław Gądów – Wrocław Kuźniki====
No scheduled use in the 2023-24 timetable, last used in part in early 2022/23, see PL24/137. Previously a new IC service started in 2019/20 between Warszawa Lotnisko Chopina and Łódź Fabryczna running via these freight only routes. Trains ran approximately two hourly with gaps but were suspended due to Covid from 18 March 2020, shown resuming on 8 November 2020 but have never resumed. <br/>
[200/265] (ERA-E 77C4; ERA-R 180A1; ''R13'') PL22/169


No scheduled use in 2021/22. Last used in 2018 by some Woodstock festival services to/from Kosztryn to avoid Wrocław Główny.
Part of this description is covered by other obscure route entries, and the rarer line 510 has seen use combined with an alternative routing since the 2021/22 timetable which repeated from December 2022. Therefore a separate entry for that has been set up below.

[110, 601, 605] (ERA-E 76C5; ERA-R174B4; ''R7, R5'') PL24/137


Diversions continue to at least 3 September 2022 as identified by a < at Wrocław Brochów. Note although the Journey Planner map view identifies all diverted services, it highlights the eastbound route in both directions which is known to be a software issue and incorrect.
No use in 2023-24. Previous use was for a few days in June and July 2023, and short periods in 2021 and 2022. These services ran to/from Warszawa Aleje Jerozolimskie via line 510 and line 20 to the end of Warszawa Główna Towarowa freight yard, reversed and used line 509 to/from Warszawa Gdańska.


Eastbound diversions initially take a split of line 763 parallel with the main line until diverging towards the west end of Wrocław Brochów yard. This becomes a split of line 349 and runs alongside but at a higher level to the main line [including alongside Wrocław Brochów station] before turning towards the east end yard throat to come alongside the route taken by westbound diversions.
====<div id="WGDPIA"></div> Warszawa Gdańska –  line 509 - Warszawa Jelonki – Warszawa Gołąbki – Piastów (podg Jozefinów)====
[601, 608] (ERA-E 76C5; ERA-R174B4; ''R7, R5'') PL24/138


From the eastern end of Wrocław Brochów yards, 349 east and westbound lines come together to pass underneath passenger line 215 on a 1.5km connection to re-join the main line either before or significantly after Święta Katarzyna station platforms.  
Frequent use continues in 2023/24. This route allows trains to/from the CMK, Koluszki or destinations such as Łódź, Częstochowa and Wrocław to/from Warszawa Gdańska to avoid Warszawa Zachodnia. '''Please use the Journey Planner map view facility for diversions due to engineering works at Warszawa Zachodnia.


The westbound diversions from Wrocław Brochów yard east run initially on a split of line 349 through the centre of a feeder yard, then via the furthest east track and finally a split of line 763 outside the flyover to the Wrocław western freight ring. Both routes are clearly shown on [https://www.openrailwaymap.org/ OpenRailwayMap].
The trains using the route can most easily be identified from the '''All Year''' arrival and departure sheets for Warszawa Gdańska [https://portalpasazera.pl/en/Plakaty Peron sheets]. Alternatively look at timetables 100, 601 and departures/arrivals at Warszawa Gdańska, some from/to Warszawa Wschodnia or those that do not call at Warszawa Centralna and Warszawa Zachodnia and have twelve < and two | at Pruszków. See also  [[#WGDWGO|PL24/140]] for extra detail on Warszawa Gołąbki.


Diversions commenced with the December 2020 timetable and have been continuous since with usage until at least 5 November 2022 in the timetable pdfs.
Also see entry PL24/136 for additional use of Warszawa Gołąbki – Piastów.

Diverted table 215 services showing a < marker at Wrocław Brochów take the same east and westbound splits to/from the east end of Wrocław Brochów as per PL22/170, then outbound towards Jelcz use a short connection rising up to become a split of line 764 parallel to the single track in/out passenger line. Inbound to Wrocław use a separate curve line 764 from Siechnice to join line 349 some way east of the east end of Wrocław Brochów yard.

Scheduled since November 2020 which continues into the 2021/22 timetable period.
There are three routes from/to Warszawa Zachodnia and Warszawa-Czyste, an intermediate junction on line 20 to/from Warszawa Zachodnia - Warszawa Główna Towarowa - Warszawa Gołąbki.

In regular limited use since December 2020, as identified by < markers at Żary Kunice and a timing at Jankowa Żagańska. Note the junction at Jankowa Żagańska is some way south of the "V" station.
The Westbound split of 507 is a 1.5km separate line running outside the 606 main line flyover from ''east'' of Warszawa Gołąbki by-passing the platform and not joining the main line until west of the station. Only services ''from'' Warszawa Gdańska towards Sochaczew use this as those from Warszawa Zachodnia via PL24/139 can only cross to table 606 to the ''west'' of Warszawa Gołąbki station.  


==='''Zagórz area'''===
The eastbound towards Warszawa Gdanska routing is a crossover west of Warszawa Gołąbki platform onto the eastbound track of line 507 parallel with line 19, then under the main line 606 flyover until 507 and 19 combine to join line 509 as a continuation of PL24/138.

The summer services to Uherce and Ustrzyki Dolne have now ended and no service is shown in the 4 September 2022 timetable revision.
Use continues in 2023/24 which can be identified by a direct journey planner search between Warszawa Gdańska and Sochaczew and has been in use by limited passenger services since work to upgrade Warszawa Zachodnia commenced in 2020/21.  


The SKPL DMU operated TLK to Uherce commenced from 26 June 2021 outbound on Saturday from Kraków Główny via Sanok and Nowy Zagórz via the Zagórz west to east curve to Uherce to reverse, returning via the Zagórz east to south curve of the triangle before continuing to Łupków. The return service on the Sunday took this route in reverse.
'''In addition to those listed below there are five westbound and eight eastbound between 3 - 8 June 2024 as clearly shown in PDF 606'''.  
 
Then from 12 June until 28 August 2022 there were two pairs of SSuO PR local services running 19km beyond Uherce to Ustrzyki Dolne which only ran direct between Nowy Zagórz and Uherce. These departed Sanok at 06:18 & 19:31.

==Corridor Trains==
Click on the thumbnail for a full size map.
The following sections of line within Poland can be ridden only in the through (corridor) trains of neighbouring administrations:
[[File:Wierzchucin.jpg|50px|thumb|left]]<br style="clear: both" />
* (Hagenwerder [Germany] -) ''' Hagenwerder Grenze (frontier)''' - Krzewina Zgorzelecka - '''Trzciniec frontier''' and '''Trzciniec frontier - Hirschfelde Grenze (frontier)''' (- Hirschfelde [Germany]) (36A2). There is a 200m stretch of line in Germany between the two frontiers at Trzciniec. The line is operated only by [https://www.odeg.de/linien-fahrplaene/liniennetz-fahrplaene ODEG] trains on the Zittau - Görlitz - Cottbus route (former DB table 220).
* (Zittau [Germany] -) '''frontier - frontier''' (- Hrádek nad Nisou [Czech Republic]) (36A2): ČD table 089. There are no stations in Poland on this line.
* '''Głuchołazy - frontier''' (- Jindřichov ve Slezsku [Czech Republic]) (37A1): Through Krnov – Jesenik trains on ČD table 292 use PKP tracks in and out of Głuchołazy as there is no triangle here and the approximately 13km of PKP tracks east of Głuchołazy are only traversed by ČD services. From 10 December 2006 ČD services call to set down and pick up at Głuchołazy.


==Trams==
This is a split station with the junction some way north of the platforms and any service to/from Laskowice Pomorskie via Drzycim [currently suspended] terminating at the east side Peron I on a curve. Therefore the 1km to/from that platform and the junction sees no regular use as opposed to/from the west side Bydgoszcz platforms. The December 2023 PDFs show Peron 1 to/from the north in limited use and note the physical junction is a diamond slip so trains to/from Peron I and Lipowa Tucholska/Szlachta use slightly different pointwork from any to/from Tuchola.
See [[Poland_-_Tram_services_over_obscure_routes|Poland - Tram services over obscure routes]]


==Other sparse services==
See the Wierzchucin [https://portalpasazera.pl/en/Plakaty Peron sheets].
The following lines have few trains (relative to service levels generally in this country) - fewer than three trains each way on at least three days a week - or do not run each weekday.
 
====Wierzchucin - Laskowice Pomorskie====
[431a/431] (ERA-E 75A3; ERA-R 171C1; ''B6'') PL24/143
 
Passenger services on this 26km long line were suspended due to Covid travel restrictions from 18 March 2020 and have not been restored. Since then there have been occasions of timetabled odd day, and even one direction only PDF shown use, but recently only by limited services diverted from 431 between Bydgoszcz and Wierzchucin. Use can be identified by a series of < markers between Wierzchucin and Maksymilianowo plus timings to/from Bydgoszcz. The previous use was between 6 - 10 November 2023 by three departures from Wierzchucin and two from Bydgoszcz Główną and note any services to/from north of Wierzchucin would also use PL24/142.
 
Next scheduled use is by departures from Bydgoszcz Główną to Tuchola at 23:09 on 15 April, and at 22:56 between 16 - 19 April 2024.

Last scheduled between 12 June and an unknown end date before September 2022, or the first three months of the 2019-2020 timetable both by just one service.
 
Note it is not a normal grade separated junction between Wrocław Kuźniki and Wrocław Gądów as the non-underpass route is reversibly signalled and pointwork means any inbound service calling at, or running via the platform tracks cannot access the underpass route. For previously diverted inbound trains, of six reports five crossed at Wrocław Kuźniki to run "wrong line" to Wrocław Gądów and just one on a Sunday went via the diveunder.-->

{| class="osstable3"
In previous years what appears to be a grade separated junction between Wrocław Muchobór and Wrocław Nowy Dwór to/from Legnica was not used as such as the majority of services in both directions used the south side/inside curve to/from Peron 2; only services running through or calling at Peron 1 used the diveunder. Main line services were known to use either route and despite the on-line [https://portalpasazera.pl/en/Plakaty Peron sheet for Wrocław Nowy Dwór] and Journey Planner showing use of both platforms, a traveller in 2020 advised the departure sheet displayed at the station showed all services using Peron 2.

When in use, eastbound diversions took a split of line 763 parallel to the main line until diverging towards the west end of Wrocław Brochów yard. This becomes a split of line 349 and runs alongside but at a higher level to the main line [including alongside Wrocław Brochów station] before turning towards the east end yard throat to come alongside the route taken by westbound diversions. From the eastern end of Wrocław Brochów yards, 349 east and westbound diversions came together to pass underneath passenger line 215 on a 1.5km connection to re-join the main line either before or significantly after Święta Katarzyna station platforms.

[140] (ERA-E 77B2; ERA-R 188B4; ''R18'') PL23/57 <br/ >
 
Last used between March and June 2021, then only an overnight train pair until 29 August 2021. This is an alternative route between Katowice and Jaworzno Szczakowa indicated by < markers at Mysłowice and a partial entry in 105. The regular passenger service on line 163 using the north to east curve to/from Sosnowiec Kazimierz as part of then table 105 ended on 2 April 2001.
 
 
====Lublin Tatary Goods Yard: Świdnik – Lublin Tatary - Lublin====
[550A] (ERA-E 79B4; ERA-R 184A5; ''F12, R4'') PL23/103
 
Last used from an unknown date in 2021 until 28 August 2021 by the Piła Główny to Hrubieszów Miasto train pair. This is the route through Lublin Tatary Goods Yard known as line 67 which starts at Świdnik and re-joins the normal route just before Lublin station. Trains using this route may be identified by a < symbol at '''only''' Lublin Północny. <br >
====Szczecin Główny western approaches====
[368, 369] (ERA-E 74A3; ERA-R 170B4; ''R1'') PL23/144 <br/ >
 
There are three possible routes between Szczecin Gumieńce and Szczecin Główny. From north to south these are:
* a single track line via Szczecin Wzgórze Hetmańskie and Szczecin Pomorzany
* the single track direct line, which is the one normally used
* the southern loop via p.odg. Szczecin Wstowo - p.odg. Dziewoklicz - Szczecin Port Centralny.
 
There were diversions in 2017 via Szczecin Wzgórze Hetmańskie and some via an unspecified route (with allowances up to 14 minutes) on 20/21 & 24 June - 7 July 2019. No timetabled diversions scheduled since but a later traveller is known to have travelled via Szczecin Wzgórze Hetmańskie.

====Warszawa Praga - Warszawa Toruńska====
[608] (ERA-E 76C5; ERA-R 174B5; ''R5'') PL23/154
 
Between 23 - 28 August 2020 many services to/from Warszawa Gdanska and Legionowo had < markers at Warszawa Praga and Warszawa Toruńska but these used parallel non-platform lines rather than through the freight yard. For a passenger service to run the complete length of the yard and the grade separated junction at the north end, the PDF should also show a < marker at Warszawa Zeran.
 
==Corridor Trains==
The following sections of line within Poland can be ridden only in the through (corridor) trains of neighbouring administrations:
* (Hagenwerder [Germany] -) ''' Hagenwerder Grenze (frontier)''' - Krzewina Zgorzelecka - '''Trzciniec frontier''' and '''Trzciniec frontier - Hirschfelde Grenze (frontier)''' (- Hirschfelde [Germany]) (36A2). There is a 200m stretch of line in Germany between the two frontiers at Trzciniec. The line is operated only by [https://www.odeg.de/linien-fahrplaene/liniennetz-fahrplaene ODEG] trains on the Zittau - Görlitz - Cottbus route (former DB table 220).
* (Zittau [Germany] -) '''frontier - frontier''' (- Hrádek nad Nisou [Czech Republic]) (36A2): ČD table 089. There are no stations in Poland on this line.
* '''Głuchołazy - frontier''' (- Jindřichov ve Slezsku [Czech Republic]) (37A1): Through Krnov Jesenik trains on ČD table 292 use PKP tracks in and out of Głuchołazy as there is no triangle here and the approximately 13km of PKP tracks east of Głuchołazy are only traversed by ČD services. From 10 December 2006 ČD services call to set down and pick up at Głuchołazy.
 
==Trams==

==Other sparse services==
The following lines have few trains (relative to service levels generally in this country) - fewer than three trains each way on at least three days a week - or do not run each weekday.

Latest revision as of 11:58, 14 March 2024

Introduction

These entries are for the timetable period from 10 December 2023 to 14 December 2024. Standard abbreviations are explained here.

It should be noted the timetable is completely reissued four times a year, these "adjustments" are due on 10 March, 9 June, 1 September and 10 November 2024. Even so travellers are strongly advised to check the Journey Planner and PDFs for ALL Unusual lines timings as revised PDFs are issued weekly in-between those dates with their issue date in small font at the bottom left of each page.

Trains numbers can change en route, i.e. IC 26100 to 26101 and the entries below attempt to show the train number for the section being highlighted. Even the PKP Journey Planner advises "Be careful, the train number may change on the route and does not necessarily coincide with the number on your ticket!"...

A number of one off specials were included in the full year PDFs in 2016, mainly excursions run by Turkol but nothing similar had happened again until 2024 when a few trains for Pilgrim's to Czestochowa appeared. Turkol still run frequent Tours, many including freight only track [which will not be EGTRE Unusual Line entries] so anyone interested is strongly advised to become familiar with the Turkol website. Recent examples have included trips around Katowice, Gdansk and Gdynia Docks.

There are no longer timetable shown special services via unusual routes to Kostrzyn for the Woodstock Music Festival (Przystanek Woodstock) which was the largest Free annual music festival in Europe. It has morphed into Pol'and'Rock held in early August at an airfield just north of Szczecinek served only by additional and strengthened local services.

Map references for each route entry are given in parentheses ( ). References prefixed "ERA-E" refer to the European Railway Atlas (All-Europe Edition) by M.G. Ball. References prefixed "ERA-R" refer to the European Railway Atlas (Regional Series: Book 3) by M.G. Ball. References in italic are to Mały Atlas Linii Kolejowych Polski 2022 by M. Stiasny.

For details of recent and near future route openings and closures, please refer to Poland - General Information.

Białystok area

Białystok - Białystok Zielone Wzgórza - Białystok Starosielce

[535] (ERA-E 76B2; ERA-R 179B; C12/R4) PL24/1

There are two single track routes from Białystok to Białystok Starosielce,

  • Option [A] the short curve [line 38] previously used by passenger services in both directions, and
  • Option [B] a long curve [line 515] initially following table 543 towards Bielsk Podlaski before curving away north over the Warszawa main line.

The longer curve [B] was upgraded, with all passenger services in both directions using it from 29 January 2023 as the short curve was engineering work closed. Then a new station named Białystok Zielone Wzgórza opened on 3 September 2023 situated right at the Białystok Starosielce/Bielsk Podlaski line split. This has four platform faces, two on the Warszawa main line, plus one each on tracks leading to the short or long curves, but after the short curve [A] re-opened on 10 December 2023, the station Peron sheets confirmed these curves are not being used as a grade separated junction as there is scheduled use of the long curve outbound from Białystok and short curve inbound from Ełk and this pattern continues in the March 2024 timetable updates

Therefore to find the scheduled route, check the Białystok Zielone Wzgórza Peron sheets as any service booked to call at Białystok Zielone Wzgórza Peron 1 track 1 must use the short curve [A] and Peron 2 track 3 the long curve [B].

Białystok Peron 4 - Line 556 - Białystok Zielone Wzgórza peron 2 track 3 OR Bielsk Podlaski line

[535] (ERA-E 76B2; ERA-R 179B; C12/R4) PL24/2

Line 556 runs from the south east side of Białystok station through the middle of the freight yards to Białystok Zielone Wzgórza. This is a new 2023/24 option during the ongoing reconstruction of Białystok station, and travel via this route was confirmed from a January 2024 report on 15103.

Map view shows use of this route continuing into the March timetable period for all services booked to arrive or depart from Peron 4 at Białystok, and suggesting at least two trains continue to use it throughout the 2023-2024 timetable. Check the Białystok Peron sheets.

Bydgoszcz area

Bydgoszcz Wschód - line 201 - Nowa Wies Wielka - [Inowrocław]

[430] (ERA-E 75A2; ERA-R 176C5; R3/C6) PL24/3

One train all year use continues in 2024 which commenced in December 2022. Route as shown in map view and confirmed in 2023 by a report. Previously scheduled on one night by one train in 2017.

35151/45151 Bielsko Biala Główna - 23:12/23:17 Inowrocław - Bydgoszcz Główna

Bydgoszcz Główna

[425] (ERA-E 75A2, not shown; ERA-R 176C5; R3) PL24/4

The station building splits the lines to Inowrocław and Piła and at the west end it is possible to arrive or depart from the "wrong" side using connections:-

[A] is a 200m link only possible between platform IV and the Piła line, or
[B] from platforms I - III to/from the Inowrocław line via a 350m connection into, and 750m across a yard throat and parallel to the main line.

[A] Use shown in the December 2023 Peron sheets by the 06:04 arrival from Piła Główna and 06:36 to Wyrzysk Osiek, both SSuX 11 - 22 December 2023. Note the Mały Atlas shows an 800m long line 745 from the west end of the option [A] goods yard curving underneath the Inowrocław main line to line 425, but this would require running through the complete length of the goods yard so is unlikely to be used by passenger services.

[B] The December 2023 Peron sheets show departures at 04:54, 07:07, 11:09 and arrivals at 07:22 and 08:34, use confirmed in the Journey Planner map view, albeit from a travellers 2017 experience this is plotted further south than the route taken...

Check the Peron sheets for up to date details.

Chabowka and Sucha Beskidzka (on the Kraków to Zakopane line)

Sucha Beskidzka

[135] (ERA-E 78B2; ERA-R 185B5; G8) PL24/5

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 called Sucha Beskidzka Zamek. Use of the relevant North to West and South to West curves can be identified by appropriate services calling at Sucha Beskidzka.

Chabówka – Rabka Zdrój – Nowy Sącz

[136] (ERA-E 78C2; ERA-R 185C5-186A5; H8/9) PL24/6

Most of this line is due to be modernised and become/replaced by the under construction high speed line from Podłęze near Kraków to Zakopane and Nowy Sącz which will join its formation at a triangular junction.

  • The Voivodship through Małopolskie Szlaki Turystyki Kolejowej have in previous years organised limited specials covering the complete ex passenger line worked by diesel SM42-1031 website here but the 2023 details did not appear until July, all ran from Nowy Sącz and none were to/from Chabówka. As the 135 all year PDF shows all PKP services from Chabówka – Rabka Zdrój are bustituted throughout 2023/24 it is reasonable to assume any 2024 specials would be the same.
  • Previously additional steam specials were run by The Chabówka Museum but in 2023 they ran between Chabówka and Osielec on the Kraków main line. A Gen post implied passengers were being carried to/from the Skansen so whether their website remark saying "passengers getting on or off the train at the Skansen in Chabówka are obliged to buy an entrance ticket in accordance with the price list. If you are not interested in accessing the Skansen, please go to the Chabówka railway station where all retro trains also stop." still applies is not known as a 2022 traveller on a MSTK special advised no travel into the Skansen was allowed.

Chabówka and the new avoiding line

[135] (ERA-E 78C2; ERA-R 186A5; H8) PL24/7

A newly constructed north to south avoiding curve opened on 22 December 2023, with trains using it calling at a new Chabówka Stadion station to the south of the curve. Some services still run in and out of Chabówka using the north to east and east to south curves with a reversal [but not one stop further to Rabka Zdrój as this is shown bus replaced for all of 2023/24]. Services using the avoiding curve show a < at Chabówka and Rabka Zdrój.

Chełm area

Chełm – Dorohusk – Jagodin (Ukraine)

[550/M401] (ERA-E 79C54; ERA-R 184C5; F13) PL24/8

Two parallel unelectrified lines cross the Poland/Ukraine border here, standard gauge (1435mm) and broad gauge (1520mm). Both have scheduled passenger services as at December 2023.

Standard gauge line to Ukraine

Used by the Warszawa – Kiev (and v.v.) overnight train pair on the 1435mm gauge tracks to/from Jagodin where gauge changing takes place by means of bogie exchange. PKP diesel traction is needed for the short cross-border journey from Dorohusk.

Note this is the only standard gauge passenger service east of Chełm meaning Dorohusk had no service during its Covid suspension until 15 September 2021. Due to westbound punctuality issues, from a date in Spring 2022 the Kiev - Warszawa has run separate from a Dorohusk - Warszawa service run to the quoted timings.

Broad gauge line to Ukraine

Before the war, after no service for many years, a daytime pair using Ukrainian DMUs commenced running through to Chełm on 12 June 2017, initially successful and increased to two pairs, subsequently reduced to one in December 2018. Then allegedly due to a Customs dispute with the Polish Authorities concerning fuel duty this pair only ran cross border to Dorohusk [with a bus to/from Chełm] from 9 June 2019, but even this service was withdrawn after running on the 18 June 2019.

In use by Ukrainian refugee services from February 2022, then by a pair of scheduled services from 4/5 May 2022, with additional services added later.
The broad gauge services are not shown in the 550 PDF but are included in the PKP Journey Planner and on the Chelm Platform sheets.

Chełm - Włodawa

[558] (ERA-E 79C4-C5; ERA-R 185B5-C5; E13/F13) PL24/9

This otherwise freight only branch has had a sponsored summer weekend only service in recent years and it is usual for a PDF to appear later in the year, as once again it is not showing in those issued in December 2023. There were two train pairs SSuO from 24 June until 27 August in 2023. Note an approved kolej+ re-opening bid will mean replacement of the currently used last 10km by a new alignment north of Okuninka Białe via Okuninka to a new station at Włodawa Miasto as the current Włodawa station is 4km from the town centre. A construction start is planned for 2027.

CMK connections (Centralna Magistrala Kolejowa connections off the Warszawa to Katowice/Kraków high speed line)

Koniecpol – Kozłów (p.odg. Starzyny)

[107, 109] (ERA-E 78B4; ERA-R 182C3; F8) PL24/10

Used by services included in Table 109 with a timing at Częstochowa/Częstochowa Stradom and Kraków not running via Kielce. This 11 km line reopened in the 2012 timetable and since 2017 has seen increased use when regular services via Dąbrowa Górnicza Ząbkowice to Jaworzno Szczakowa ended.

[Częstochowa –] Żelisławice – Włoszczowa Północ [– Warszawa]

[100/109/P200/175] (ERA-E 78C4; ERA-R 183C3; F8) PL24/11

This 7.7 km west to north link between the Częstochowa - Kielce line and the CMK is used by EIC Pendolinos and IC's between Warszawa Zachodnia and Częstochowa most easily identified in 109 by a | at Żelisławice, plus from 11 June 2023 by PR services to/from Włoszczowa Północ.

[Kielce –] Czarnca – Włoszczowa Północ [– Częstochowa]

[109] (ERA-E 78C4; ERA-R 183C3; F8) PL24/12

This newly constructed 3.3km curve [line 582] opened on 11 December 2022 but only came into passenger use from 11 June 2023 by a limited service. From the 3 September 2023 timetable change all local services either run Kielce - Włoszczowa Północ [reverse] - Częstochowa, or terminate there using either this curve or PL24/11.

[Kielce –] Czarnca – Zelislawice [– Częstochowa]

[109] (ERA-E 78C4; ERA-R 183C3; F8) PL24/13

A consequence of the new east to north curve to the CMK opening is from 3 September 2023, use of the 6.7km section of the east - west main line by services NOT calling at Włoszczowa Północ has dropped to two pairs daily. These can be identified in the 109 PDF by timings at Kielce and a Częstochowa station and a < at Włoszczowa Północ.

Psary – p.odg. Starzyny – Kozłów

[100] (ERA-E 78B4-C4; ERA-R 182C3; F8) PL24/14

This north - southeast link with the Koniecpol - Kozłów line is used by all trains using the CMK between Warszawa and Kraków with a vertical bar '|' against Kozłów.

Czarnca – Psary (p.odg. Knapówka)

[100, 109] (ERA-E 78C4; ERA-R 182C3; F8) PL24/15

This 3.8 km east - south link with the Kielce - Częstochowa line is used by services marked in table 109 with a '<' at all stations between Żelisławice and Częstochowa plus a timing at Katowice.

PolRegio withdrew their semi-fast R Kielce - Katowice services so in 2022/23 there are two pairs daily via this curve which despite using the CMK do not appear in table 100.

(Tomaszów Mazowiecki – Dęba Opoczyńska –) p.odg. Zapowiedź – Idzikowice

[100,113,114] (ERA-E 78C5; ERA-R 183A5; E9) PL24/16

Shared as far as p.odg. Zapowiedź with table 113, the TLK services shown in Tables 113 or 114 with stops at Opoczno Południe are the only services covering the 4.5 km west to south curve to/from the CMK.

Coal Trunk Line (Magistrala węglowa) From Herby Nowe to Zduńska Wola Karsznice and Inowrocław, with connecting routes and curves

The Magistrala węglowa (Coal Trunk Line) is a major south - north freight artery which, for EGTRE purposes, can be considered as running from Herby Nowe through Zduńska Wola Karznice to Inowrocław. The 258 km route was table 315 in the PKP timetable, but its local passenger service ended many years ago and since then a table has appeared intermittently. In recent years, of the entries in it very few with the exception of the Warszawa - Inowrocław Rąbinek - Poznan pair actually use "315", as seasonal and part line diversionary use were not included. So with PKP announcing on issuing the 2023/24 timetable that all seasonal services using this line were to be diverted via other routes, it was unexpected that a one weekend Pilgrim Special pair appeared in 315!

There are numerous curves and connections with the Coal Trunk Line, some used frequently, others much less so or not for many years. For this reason a route-based approach has been taken with every connection or section given a number in the schematic diagram below. These are then quoted in the headings of each entry to allow easy identification of sections in use.


To assist travellers, the individual sections in scheduled use in the CURRENT timetable period will be listed here, along with their PL24/xx number. From 10 March 2024 they are:-

  • 13 PL24/25 Klodawa - Ponętów north
  • 15 PL24/25 p.odg. Borysławice - Inowrocław Rąbinek
  • 16 PL24/25 Inowrocław Rąbinek - Mogilno

Timings are given from the last point before travel on any part of the Coal Trunk Line.

Herby Nowe – Chorzew Siemkowice – Zduńska Wola Karznice – Ponętów – p.odg. Borysławice – Inowrocław Rabinek (– Inowrocław) 1,3,6,9,12,15,17

[180, 430, via 315] (ERA-E 75A2-B3/78B4-B5; ERA-R 182A3-177A4; F7,E7,D7) PL24/17

This is the entry primarily identifying a traversal of the south end of the Coal Trunk Line. The north and south-bound routes run up to 1km apart just north of Herby Nowe, with the southbound track crossing over Line 181 (Table 322) on a flyover. Note these are also booked via curve 702 to/from Częstochowa Stradom.
No scheduled use in 2023/24, the last time between 23 June - 1 July 2023 by an overnight Hel/Łeba - Bohumin [ČD] train pair.

[102, 173, 315] (ERA-E 78A4; ERA-R 182B4; F7) PL24/18

This entry duplicates PL24/19 except for use of a different curve near Inowrocław.

No scheduled use of code 18 curve in 2023/24. See PL24/19 for any use of the remainder.

[102, 173, 315] (ERA-E 78A4; ERA-R 182B4; F7) PL24/19

The summer Bohumin [ČD] - Hel/Łeba pair from recent years have been re-routed leaving use in 2024 by just one pair of one weekend Pilgrim specials.

Note that the northbound and southbound tracks from the grade separated junction at podg Wyczerpy, north of Częstochowa run on significantly different vertical alignments and remain separate for 3 km as far as Rząsawa and this pair are booked via code 17, the short east side curve between Inowrocław and Inowrocław Rąbinek.

[315, 405] (ERA176C4; D6) PL24/22

No service in 2023/24, last used between 23 June - 4 September 2023. This route covers the east to north curve at Zdunska Wola, then the Coal Trunk Line to Inowrocław Rąbinek and the short curve (line 742) to Inowrocław.

[102, 173, 315] (ERA-E 78A4; ERA-R 182B4; F7) PL24/23

No booked use of this combination in 2023/24 which is from/to Łódź via the Zdunska Wola East to North curve, a northern section of the Coal Trunk Line and the long curve via Podg. Mimowola of line 131 [code 18] from Inowrocław, the rarer of the two. Map view showed one service from 26 June to 1 September and another from 29 August to 6 November 2021 booked via code 18, curve 131 but from reports received its use was subject to punctuality issues, the first did not when late, and the second did curve 131 [code 18] for two travellers but not for another, all when on time. Additionally a traveller advised a previous years successful travel over line 131 avoided a conflict with a train heading for Poznań so use may also be subject to punctuality of a different service. If they do not take code 18 they use line 742 [code 17] instead.

[B170, 300, 315] (ERA-E 75B1; ERA-R 177A2; D7) PL24/26

No scheduled use in 2023/24, last used by one train on 21 January 2023. This route is via the east to north curve from the Warszawa - Poznań line on to the Coal Trunk Line and the inside curve off it at Inowrocław Rąbinek to/from Inowrocław station.

Czechowice Dziedzice area, including Chybie

Czechowice Dziedzice avoiding line: Goczałkowice Zdrój (p.odg. Most Wisła) – Zabrzeg (p.odg. Ochodza)

[146, 147] (ERA-E 77B1; ERA-R 188C3; H7) PL24/28

The north-to-west curve avoiding Czechowice Dziedzice is used by all trains between Goczałkowice and Zabrzeg in table 146 and those to and from Katowice in table 147 with a '<' symbol against Czechowice Dziedzice.

This curve has been vertically and horizontally re-aligned in 2021 with the north end junction to/from Czechowice Dziedzice relocated further north. The changes are clearly illustrated on OpenRailwayMap.

Czechowice-Dziedzice (p.odg Ochodza)- via Zabrzeg Czarnolesie Goods line 693 to (p.odg Bronów) - Chybie

[146/147] (ERA-E 77B1, not shown; ERA-R 182A1; H7) PL24/29

The 147 PDF shows all westbound services towards Chybie with < markers at Zabrzeg and Zabrzeg Czarnolesie meaning diversion via this 4km route from 10 March - 14 December 2024. Map view confirms this, as it does for all Katowice towards Skoczów services on 146 and plots then taking the same nearest the main line option on the south side of Zabrzeg Czarnolesie goods yard as the previous passenger use from March 2020 until 13 March 2021 but confirmation of this would be appreciated by the Compilers.

Chybie – Chybie Mnich (p.odg Bieniowiec) (– Skoczów)

Żory – Chybie

[146a/154] (ERA-E 77A1; ERA-R 188C2; G6-H7) PL24/31

Thanks to re-opening of intermediate stations in advance of a pending kolej+ scheme table 146a has re-appeared even though they only see calls by two pairs SSuO.

There is additional use by non-stop TLK's that are not shown in 146a which can be identified in table 154 by < markers between Żory and Czechowice-Dziedzice, or table 151 with > markers between Wroclaw Glowny and Czechowice-Dziedzice en route to/from Bielsko-Biala.

Czerwieńsk

(Sulechów-) podg Czerwieńsk Wsch. – Czerwieńsk – podg Czerwieńsk Płd. (-Przylep)

[334, 355] (ERA-E 74B1; ERA-R 175B2 E2 partially shown) PL24/32

Use resumed on 12 March 2023 after an engineering work closure since 16 March 2020. Following opening of the south <=> east avoiding curve (podg Czerwieńsk Południe - podg Czerwieńsk Wschodnia) on 9 June 2013. this entry indicates use of the old line from the east junction to/from Czerwieńsk station. These services cross underneath the Zielona Góra line to the south side of the two-sided Czerwieńsk station, then also use a significant connection to/from the Zielona Góra line at the east end of Czerwieńsk station, explaining why the timings towards Gorzów Wielkopolski are shown from Zielona Góra Przylep and not Czerwieńsk.

Click on the thumbnail for a diagram:


78571/0 Zielona Góra Główna - 15:57 Zielona Góra Przylep - Gorzów Wielkopolski
78573/2 Zielona Góra Główna - 18:37 Zielona Góra Przylep - Gorzów Wielkopolski
70521/0 Zbąszynek - 05:40 Sulechów - Zielona Góra Główna
87568/9 Gorzów Wielkopolski – 17:45 Sulechów - Zielona Góra Główna

With recent re-instatement of the Zielona Góra - Czerwieńsk - Guben [DB] service there may be increased use of the connection to/from the Zielona Góra line at the east end of Czerwieńsk station. This would only be possible going via Peron 3 Track 4 as used by the above services but the Peron sheets since have shown all Guben [DB] services scheduled to use Peron 1 or 2. Any reports of additional use would be appreciated by the Compilers.

Częstochowa Area

Częstochowa (Częstochowa Towarowa) – line 703 – podg Kucelinka – line 155 - Poraj

[102] (ERA-E 78B4; ERA-R 182B3; F7 R15) PL24/33

No scheduled use in 2023/24. This entry is part duplicated by an alternative route between Częstochowa Stradom and Poraj, see PL24/35.

What appears to be a grade separated junction for the Częstochowa - Koniecpol line is actually separate routes as line 701 on the east side is used by Koniecpol passenger services in both directions. The west side line relevant to this entry is freight Line 703 that diverges at the north end of Częstochowa Towarowa (marshalling yard) to run on the far west side of this yard through Częstochowa Raków Platform 1 Track 5 [no calls in Dec-23 Peron sheets] before climbing to go over the Katowice main line to podg Kucelinka. Here it joins the passenger route from Częstochowa Stradom to Koniecpol and also where Line 155 to Poraj diverges [see also PL24/35 Option [A]]. Note there is no connection between line 701 on the east side and line 155 to Poraj at podg Kucelinka.

[Częstochowa -] Częstochowa Towarowa – line 703 via Częstochowa Raków - podg Kucelinka [- Koniecpol]

[109] (ERA-E 78B4; ERA-R 182B3; F7 R15) PL24/34

No known scheduled use of this combination in 2023/24 as without time consuming searches of map view it is now impossible to identify non-stop services as a permanent platform 1 Track 85 opened on goods line 703 at Częstochowa Raków from late in 2022. Since then any non-stop services show |, the identical marker to the normal route so only local services calling at platform 1 Track 85 to/from Koniecpol are guaranteed to use this entry but there are none in the 2023/24 Peron sheets issued in March 2024.

This new partial version of PL24/33 was necessary for a service using this route from 23 - 27 June 2022 [and allegedly also on 16-17 April 2023] with map view showing they diverted from Częstochowa Towarowa onto freight only line 703 on the west side of the main line over the Katowice main line to podg Kucelinka.

Częstochowa Stradom via Częstochowa Raków and/or podg Kucelinka & line 155 - Poraj

[102/175] (ERA-E 78B4; ERA-R 182B3; F7 R15) PL24/35

There are three possible routes between Częstochowa Stradom and Poraj and two pair use of [B] continues into 2023/24. In order by known use:-

  • [A] From Częstochowa Stradom on the line to Koniecpol to/from podg Kucelinka and then via freight line 155, historically, but not since 2021 indicated by a '<' symbol in table 102 against Częstochowa Raków and Korwinów. When Częstochowa Stradom to Kraków services stopped running via Koniecpol this became the preferred route, but only until September 2022.
  • [B] From Częstochowa Stradom via curve 702 to the north end of Częstochowa Raków yard, then part of line 703 on the far west side and complete length of the yard to/from a connection with main line 102 to the south of Częstochowa Raków platform 1 Track 85. Use was scheduled for one train on one night in October 2020, then as a late alteration to the Autumn 2022 PDFs, all 4 pairs of Częstochowa Stradom to Kraków services were diverted from option [A] to [B] until two pairs changed to run via 109 and Koniecpol from 6 November 2022.
Note A KS40122 Częstochowa - 02:57 Częstochowa Stradom - option [B] - Tarnowskie Góry
73102 Poznań Główny - 09:15 Częstochowa Stradom - option [B] - Kraków Główny

37102 Kraków Główny - 18:37/18:40 Myszków - option [B] - Poznań Główny

Note A: 18-20/26/27 January 2024

  • [C] Line 702 and then via entry PL24/33 above. As far as is known this combination has never been used by passenger diversions.

Note: A few services in both directions running direct between Częstochowa and Częstochowa Raków are shown diverted in map view via the part of line 703 on the far west side and complete length of the yard to/from a connection with main line 102 to the south of Częstochowa Raków platform 1 Track 85 between 23:18 and 03:52 on dates between 8 January and 9 March 2024.

Częstochowa avoiding line: Częstochowa Stradom – Kusięta Nowe (p.odg. Kucelinka) (– Koniecpol)

[109/175/P200] (ERA-E 78B4; ERA-R 182B3; R15) PL24/36

This line enables trains between Wrocław/Herby and Kielce, Częstochowa Stradom & Kraków via Koniecpol PL24/10 or Częstochowa Stradom & Warszawa (via the CMK) PL24/11 or via Poraj PL24/35 Option [A] avoid reversing at Częstochowa Osobowa (the main station) by calling instead at Częstochowa Stradom. Use can be identified by any of the above services having a < at Częstochowa in table 175.

Dęblin

Dęblin: Zajezierze k. Dęblina (p.odg. Wisła R2) – Zarzeka (p.odg. Wisła R1)

[111/550] (ERA-E 79A5; ERA-R 183C5; E10) PL24/37

This west-to-south curve avoiding Dęblin is used by direct services between Radom and Lublin which appear in table 111 with a '<' symbol against Dęblin.

Dęblin – Stawy

[553] (ERA-E 79A5; ERA-R 178C1; E11) PL24/38

There are two passenger routes approaching Dęblin from the Łuków line which connect to either the north or south ends of Dęblin station forming a balloon loop. The normal mode of operation for some years as confirmed by the Journey Planner map view is for trains from Łuków to Dęblin to arrive at Dęblin using the southern route, [even if they are continuing south and need to reverse in order to do so]. Trains from Dęblin to Łuków use the northern route.

Gdańsk area

Gdańsk Wrzeszcz

[442,443] (ERA-E 75B4, not shown; ERA-R 172B4; R2) PL24/39

There is a flyover as part of the reinstated junction for the newish services via Gdańsk Port Lotniczy which should be used by the through services from Gdańsk Główny. Note crossovers also allow use of the non-flyover route but any departure or arrival using Peron II is more likely to use the flyover.

Gdańsk Osowa – Rębiechowo

[440] (ERA-E 75A4; ERA-R 172B4; A6 not shown) PL24/40

The direct Gdynia Główna - Kościerzyna/Kartuzy service via this third side of the triangle is significantly less than services on the other two sides via the new line through Gdańsk Port Lotniczy.

Gdańsk Stadion Expo

[Ex 453] (ERA-E 75B4, not shown; ERA-R 172B4 not shown; R2) PL24/41

A 2km section of the long closed, now freight only line towards Gdańsk Nowy Port to a platform near the Stadium is used occasionally in connection with Football or special events. Last confirmed use was on 25 August 2023 with details published on the ZTM local transport Authority website. Note this station and any services do not appear in the PKP Journey Planner.

Gdynia area

Gdynia Główny – Rumia via line 202

[452] (ERA-E 75A5; ERA-R 172B4; R2) PL24/42

There are two routes between Gdynia Główna and Rumia. Line 250 from Gdynia Główna Platforms 1-2 is used mainly by SKM local services via Gdynia Stocznia-Uniwersytet Morski, Gdynia Chylonia Platform 1 and Gdynia Cisowa where it divides either side of Gdynia Cisowa Elektrowozownia EMU depot. The two single lines come back together at Rumia Janowo. Note the south side line at the Depot is bi-directional.

The alternative is line 202 from Gdynia Główna between platforms 3 and 4 (crossovers allow access from other platforms) which passes under and then alongside line 250 on non-platform tracks at Gdynia Chylonia after which it becomes single track and runs to the north side of Cisowa Elektrowozownia EMU depot parallel with 250 to bypass Rumia Janowo platforms. This single track is also believed to be bi-directional and note although largely parallel with line 250 there are significant divergences at the diveunder west of Gdynia Stocznia-Uniwersytet Morski and after Gdynia Cisowa.

The following operating pattern appears to have applied since the December 2021-22 PKP timetable update, with the numbers of exceptions reducing markedly from the 2022-23 timetable:

  • Line 250 is used by local services stopping all stations to Rumia. From Gdynia Główna to Gdynia Chylonia platform 1 is used only by local stopping services.
  • Line 202 is used by IC services and also local services that only call at Gdynia Chylonia and have no other intermediate stops between Gdynia Główna and Rumia.

Gdynia Główna approaches alternative: line 963

There is a 1km single track line 963 to/from the higher numbered platforms at Gdynia Główna with pointwork allowing it to be used by both arrivals and departures to/from Rumia and identified by a < at only Gdynia Stocznia Universytet Morski. This routing avoids the flyover line 250 via Gdynia Stocznia-Uniwersytet Morski platforms or the parallel lines 202 and 960 which go underneath line 250 and was indicated against services running on just 9/10 September 2023, with the PKP Journey Planner Map view showing use of 963 in both directions. There are none with such a marking in the March 2024 PDF.

Additionally as the northern junction of line 963 with main line 250 is south of Gdynia Grabowek platforms, a report was received of TLK 402 19:00 Hel to Bohumin on 11 July 2023 [previous stop Puck 20:00 and via the west side of Gdynia Cisowa Depot and the main line south of Gdynia Chylonia] taking line 963 en route to P5 at Gdynia Główna so any additional reports of use of line 963 would be welcomed by the Compilers.

Diagrams of the relevant parts of the route are available here:



Gdynia Stocznia-Universytet Morski

[450/451 & 452] (ERA172B4 not shown, R2) PL24/44

The SKM local and main lines take separate routes with Gdynia Stocznia-Universytet Morski station on an elevated section flying over freight lines leading into the docks. Services in either direction calling at Gdynia Stocznia-Universytet Morski must use Gdynia Główna Peron 1.


Hajnówka area

Hajnówka station is a double "v".

Hajnówka

[541/543] (ERA179B4, D13) PL24/45

Most trains are through to/from the Lewki [- Białystok] line and use relocated platform IV on the west side [south of the previous demolished station building] and if to/from Czeremcha use a 370 metre south end connection. Others terminating or starting from Hajnówka to/from Czeremcha use platforms I & II on the east side and a separate 250 metre section.

There is also a new west side platform III at a distinct angle to platform IV used by a few arrivals/departures from/to Lewki so check the Peron sheets for ongoing platform use.


Herby Stare area

Herby Stare – Boronów (p.odg Kalina)

[175/180] (ERA-E 78B4; ERA-R 182A3; F7) PL24/46

This 2.2km east <=> south curve, [line 687] regained a local service in 2016. Use by an IC train pair ended 12 March 2022.

Lisów – Herby Stare

[175] (ERA-E 78B4, not shown; ERA-R 182A3; F7) PL24/48

The east and westbound tracks take significantly different routes through a forest between these points.

Iława

Iława alternative routes

[400/405/500] (ERA-E 75B3, not shown; ERA-R 172B1; B8) PL24/49

There are two routes between Iława station and Działdowo, the Malbork – Warszawa main line diving under the Toruń – Olsztyn line from the north side, plus Line 968, an inside curve to/from south side Peron III which also accesses a freight yard.

It is believed the track layout does not allow trains to/from Działdowo Peron III to reach the diveunder line so as trains from Iława Peron I & II can reach Line 968, only those using Peron III are guaranteed to use line 968. The usual route for through Malbork - Iława - Działdowo services is the diveunder to avoid conflicts so query the platform arrival/departure sheets for details of Peron III arrivals and departures from Działdowo. Feedback on specific services using line 968 would be appreciated by the Compilers.

Additionally all Olsztyn - Iława - Malbork services use connections at the Olsztyn end of the station to cross to the north side platforms. Click on the thumbnail for a full size map.


Jarocin

Jarocin north end connection and south end alternative routes

[321] (ERA-E 74C1, not shown; ERA-R 176B2, not shown; E5) PL24/50

Jarocin is a split station with a sizeable yard south of the platforms.

Click on the thumbnail for a plan of the Jarocin area:-


Option [A] a north end 400 metre connection (line 983) allows trains to/from Września to/from the west side platforms 1-2. Previous scheduled for the June - September 2023 timetable period.

Option [B] Services to/from Września normally terminate or start from platform 3 [Track 256!] on the east side of Jarocin station, but if they use that platform to continue/arrive from Krotoszyn they will use a 1.6km link on the east side of a sizeable yard up to 150m away from the main lines to/from the junction with line 826. Last recorded use by one train on just 5 September 2022.

Note A SSuX KW 77251 Krotoszyn - 10:21 Golina - Gniezno
Note A SSuX KW 77248 Gniezno – 08:41 Jarocin - Krotoszyn

Note A: From 29 April 2024
The PDFs show re-opening of Krotoszyn – Jarocin after a lengthy engineering work closure on 28 April 2024 and then all through Poznań - Krotoszyn services must resume using connecting line 826 south of Jarocin station to/from west side platforms 1 & 2 so this is no longer considered an obscure route.

Kalwaria Zebrzydowska Lanckorona

Kalwaria Zebrzydowska Lanckorona south to west

[139] (ERA-E 78B2; ERA-R 182C1; H8) PL24/51

Use rapidly reduced after opening of the new north to west avoiding curve on 11 June 2023; by November 2023 to just one local train pair. From the 2023/24 timetable this curve is used only by seasonal services, an overnight pair from 22/23 December 2023 to 28/29 February 2024 or by a maximum of three pairs from 22 June - 1 September 2024. These can be identified by timings in table 139 at Kalwaria Zebrzydowska Lanckorona.

[Ex 140, in 100] (ERA-E 77B2; ERA-R 188A4-B4; R18) PL24/53

This 15.8km route allows trains from Kraków via T140 to proceed towards Częstochowa or the CMK or vice versa avoiding Katowice. Use is identifiable by IC/TLKs appearing in T140 with < from Jaworzno Szczakowa to and including Katowice, and timings or a | to/from Kraków and Jaworzno Szczakowa or in T102 with > from Dabrowa Gornicza Zabkowice to Katowice. Additionally map view has also confirmed this route used occasionally by T100 Warszawa - Kraków services with a < at Miechów. Check journey planner map view for confirmation.

[101/140] (ERA-E 77B2; ERA-R 182B1-C1; R18) PL24/54

This entry has alternative routes and with no stations between Mysłówice and Dąbrowa Gornicza Ząbkowice the scheduled route can only be identified using the Journey Planner map view if they appear in 140 to/from Mysłówice. There is limited use from March 2024, all via option [B]. The route options are:-

  • [A] from Mysłówice via Sosnowiec Jęzor and Line 180 to podg Dorota. Note the flyover south of podg Dorota to line 180 shown in the 2011 Mały Atlas no longer exists so southbound services may be more likely.
  • [B] from Mysłówice via Sosnowiec Jęzor to podg Długoszyn (west of Jaworzno Szczakowa), curve 667 and Sosnowiec Maczki to podg Dorota

Note podg Dorota - part line 133 - Dąbrowa Górnicza Ząbkowice is also used by entries in PL24/52 & PL24/53.

Dąbrowa Gornicza Ząbkowice - Line 160 southbound or 186 both directions - Łazy – goods lines to Zawiercie

[101/102] (ERA-E 77B2-C2; ERA-R 188A5-B5; too detailed to be shown, G7 R18) PL24/55

Alternative routes, two of which can be identified by < markers between Łazy and Dąbrowa Górnicza Sikorka.

  • [A] Southbound via flyover route 160 to the southern end of 186 identified by < markers from Wiesiółka to Dąbrowa Górnicza Sikorka. Previous use between 13 June to 28 August and 7 November - 11 December 2021.
  • [B] Line 186 in both directions that splits to the east and out of sight of the main line between Chruszczobród and Wiesiółka
  • [C] via goods lines for 6km north from Łazy on the east side of the first, then in-between parts of two subsequent freight yards to south of Zawiercie

In Autumn 2020 travellers noticed new platforms on line 186 at Chruszczobród [Peron II] and Wiesiółka [Peron III] so use of Option [B] can now be identified from the Peron sheets by calls at both. Also note if a southbound service calls at any Wiesiółka platform it is then impossible to travel Option [A] via line 160.

When [B] was in use northbound during 2016 plus on 11 August 2017, mainline services continued via Option [C] to Zawiercie. However when scheduled again between August and December 2020 it is believed all northbound services re-joined the normal passenger route by at least Łazy, as would any currently timetabled option [B] local services. But as there are no stations between Łazy and Zawiercie it is impossible for the timetable to show services routed only or additionally via option [C] and map view must be used.

Zawiercie avoider: (south to west curve line 705)

[102/179] (ERA-E 77B2-C2; ERA-R 188A5-B5; G7 R21) PL24/56
This pair is shown in the all year timetable as the only services using this curve as the regular Katowice Airport passenger service is to/from Częstochowa via the north to west curve to/from Zawiercie station. They are not shown in table 102 and note they also travel via the Bytom avoiding line EGTRE entry.

Note A 5312 Gdynia Główna - 16:05 Pyrzowice Lotnisko - Kraków Główny

Note A: 9 June - 14 December 2024

The westbound service was shown in map view in December 2023 as running via the goods lines north from Łazy, but by March 2024 this has changed to show running main line.

Sosnowiec Głowny - curve 62 – Sosnowiec Południowy

Katowice – flyover departure line – p.odg. Brynów (- Katowice Brynów)

[146, 151] (ERA-E 77B2; ERA-R 188B3; R17) PL24/58

Southbound departures from Katowice platforms 1-4 towards Katowice Ligota can run either via the main line (line 139) or via the 2km line 656 via a flyover over the main line to Gliwice and on the north side of an EMU Depot. From observation, all trains departing from Peron 1 at Katowice appear to use this route, with map view showing all departures from Peron 1 or 2 taking the flyover.

None scheduled in 2023/24 for this alternative route between Katowice and Gliwice, last scheduled between 12 November - 9 December 2023. The section in brackets was in summer 2023 use as per PL24/65.

Katowice - podg Gottwald - Line 713 - part line 164 - by-pass Chorzów Batory platforms - Zabrze

[101, 220] (ERA-E 77A2-B2; ERA-R 188A2; R17) PL24/60

Four services were shown in the December 2022 PDFs with a < at only Chorzów Batory, and in map view diverting as per the description, a grade separated parallel goods line avoiding all platforms at Chorzów Batory, connecting to/from the main line flyover routing to/from Zabrze west of the platforms. However the March 2023 PDFs showed all four running non-stop through the platforms on the normal main line so this diversion did not take place. The entry is retained as it contains a unique section not covered by other entries but will be deleted if not used during 2024.

Bytom avoiding line

[165/180] (ERA-E 77B2; ERA-R 188A3; R19) PL24/61

New use planned for 2024 and note the Kraków pair also travel via the Zawiercie west to south EGTRE entry. This curve was last scheduled on certain dates in 2020 by the Russian Railways Nice Ville <=> Moskva Belorusskaia train pair when diverted from its usual route.

Bytom temporary station

[166] (ERA-E 77B2 not shown); ERA-R 188A3; R19) PL24/62

Major works re-furbishing the station and western approach tracks mean from 13 September 2022 until [according to the journey planner] December 2024, the only passenger trains using the station are table 166 services to/from Gliwice. These use temporary platform 5 Track 22 on the south side of the west end freight yard near to the Narrow Gauge Railway platform and reach this via approximately 1km of unusual track from/to the normal passenger lines. The platform location is shown on OpenRailwayMap if you drill down to see track yard detail.


Tychy – line 169 – Orzesze Jaśkowice

[151/155] (ERA-E 77A1-B1; ERA-R 188B2-B3; G7) PL24/63

This line resumed use by non-stop, mainly international services in 2017. Use can be identified in 155 by < markers from Mikolów Jamna to Orzesze Jaśkowice.

(Rybnik –) Lesczczyny – Line 149 – Gierałtowice – podg Mizerów – Zabrze Makoszowy Kopalnia (– Gliwice)

[156] (ERA-E 77A1-A2; ERA-R 188A2-B2; G6, R20) PL24/64

See the PDF for the all year SSuO [increased to] two pairs and to note the journey planner map view also shows use by a not listed pair of summer overnights. These are 40170 departing Gliwice at 03:30 and 44170 departing Rybnik at 22:21 from 23 June - 2 September 2024. These appear to take the place of the previous summer overnight Bohumin [CD] - Świnoujście pair that used the south to east curve at Zabrze Makoszowy as per PL24/65 which are not running in 2024.

Approaching/leaving Gliwice these services use a reinstated south side connection part 141 to/from the ex Katowice main line and Gliwice Sośnica shown closed and lifted in the 2011 Mały Atlas but included in the 2022 edition.

(Rybnik – Lesczczyny – Line 149 – Gierałtowice –] podg Mizerów – Zabrze Makoszowy – line 141 - Ruda Kochłowice – line 164 - podg Hajduki - line 651 - podg Gottwald (– Katowice)

[155,156] (ERA-E 77A1-A2; ERA-R 188B2-B3; G6, R16/17) PL24/65

This entry is for any services using the west to east curve off/onto line 149 and freight track to/from Katowice and such a service ran between 23 June - 4 September 2023 as confirmed from the JP Map view. The complete entry is not scheduled in 2024 but a small part either side of podg Hajduki is, see PL24/67 and PL24/68.

[155,156] (ERA-E 77A1-A2; ERA-R 188B2-B3; G6, R16/17) PL24/66

A variation of PL24/65, the major difference being the south to west curve to/from Chorzów Batory [therefore not serving Katowice] used by a pair that ran only on 3 September 2023. An exact copy is not scheduled in 2024 but the unique curve is, see PL24/67 and PL24/68.

[140] (ERA-E 77A2-B2; ERA-R 188A2-B2-B3; R16/17) PL24/67

The 2023/24 timetable shows use of the curve from podg Hajduki to Chorzów Batory, then other sections of unusual track as an alternative route between Chorzów Batory and Mysłowice avoiding Katowice. This is 21km of normally freight only track.

Note unusually the JP map view also shows two variations between east and westbound journeys, eastbound from podg Katowice Janów via a section of 171 and the south side of Katowice Muchowiec yards, westbound on the north side and line 657 to podg Katowice Janów. OpenRailwayMap agrees on the 171/657 split, but suggests the southside option at Katowice Muchowiec is unlikely...

Rybnik – Sumina

[153/154/160] (ERA-E 77A1; ERA-R 188B1; G6, H6) PL24/69

There are two routes between Rybnik and Sumina: a direct line with no intermediate stations and a longer single track route via Rybnik Towarowy and Rydułtowy used by local services. Any local booked via the direct line is shown with a < in 153 but it has varied if non-stop TLK's appear in table 153, they do in 2024. If none are shown, those using the shorter direct route are in table 160 with timings to/from Wrocław Głowny, calls at Kędzierzyn-Koźle to/from Bielsko Biala.

To note services not booked to call at Sumina to/from the direct line may not always use tracks that avoid the station platforms.

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.

Kędzierzyn-Koźle

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 normally used passenger route in both directions, a 4 km single track over the avoiding curve line 681 via a staff halt at the PKP depot to/from Peron (platform) I. See 2. & 3. for exceptions.

2. Line 151 (northbound). From a traveller's July 2017 observation, its 2023/24 equivalent as below is the only service booked via the northbound split of line 151 [not shown in the 2011, but is in the 2022 Mały Atlas], shown clearly in OpenRailwayMap. This initially heads east at podg. Stare Koźle, then underneath Lines 709 and 681 to run parallel to, but up to 30m apart of the southbound track of Line 151 as per point 3 below. Both tracks of 151 remain on the west side of the substantial yard and lead to/from only Kędzierzyn-Koźle Peron IV or the station avoiding lines.

IC4522 Racibórz - 04:27 Kuźnia Raciborska - Kędzierzyn-Koźle [reverse] - Gliwice - Białystok

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. The southern junction at podg. Stare Koźle is grade separated as per point 2 and note any service from Kędzierzyn-Koźle Peron IV towards Rybnik or Racibórz must use this route.

Check the Kędzierzyn-Koźle Platform sheets for the latest information on all three variants.

Kędzierzyn-Koźle avoiding curve

[160/220] (ERA-E 78A3; ERA-R 181C2; R14) PL24/72

Use continues in 2024 but is reduced to two pairs of international services which can be identified in T160 by a < at only Rybnik and Kędzierzyn-Koźle. Note this curve is significantly grade separated at the south end.

40001 Katowice - 05:13/16 Gliwice - Wien HBF [ÖBB]
14002 Warszawa Gdanska/Wschodnia - 11:49/50 Gliwice - Budapest-Nyugati [MAV]

Kępno

(Domanin -) p.odg. Hanulin – line 812 - Kępno (low level) (– Wieluń)

[320/322] (ERA-E 78A5; ERA-R 181C5; F6) PL24/73

Kępno is a two-level station as the Poznań - Ostrów - Kluczbork line has high level platforms at right angles to those of the low-level Herby Nowe line. There are inside and outside north-to-east curves some km's apart connecting the two lines with all services starting or terminating at Kępno to/from Ostrów Wielkopolski using the 1.8km outside curve (Line 812) to/from the low-level platforms. These can be identified either in the station platform arrival/departure sheets using Peron II, or from the table 320 PDF showing Kępno separately in italics at the top or bottom of the table depending on direction.

One pair of IC's also use the outside curve (line 812) and to note these are the only services between Wieluń Dąbrowa and Kępno as shown in timetable 322. They also use the curve from Herby Nowe to Herby Stare, see PL24/47.

An inside curve to/from 322 bypasses all platforms and would be a separate entry when scheduled.

Kielce area

Kielce avoiding line: Kielce Piaski (podg Piaski k. Kielc) – Kielce Herbskie (line 567)

[100/113/110] (ERA-E 78C4; ERA-R 183A4; F9) PL24/74

One pair of Pilgrimage specials. Previous use was by diversions between 10 July - 10 August 2017.

Note A 24200 Lublin Główny - 10:25 Skarżysko-Kamienna - Częstochowa
Note B 42201 Częstochowa - 16:45 Kielce Herbskie - Lublin Główny

Kołobrzeg

Kołobrzeg Port

[off 375] (ERA-E 74B4, not shown; ERA-R 170C3; B2) PL24/75

A 1km freight-only branch partly through city streets to terminate on the quayside adjacent to the lighthouse. The annual Poznań Główny - Kołobrzeg "Pirat" excursion, initially with steam resumed running to the Port some years ago, joined from 2012 by a separate Diesel hauled excursion "Katamaran" which has not run for the last few years. The 3 June 2023 "Pirat" reached the lighthouse with a diesel so the 2024 versions on 1, 2 & 22 and possibly 23 June 2024 should do likewise. See the Turkol website.


Kraków area

Kraków northern loop line: (Kraków Główny –) Kraków Batowice – podg Dłubnia – Kraków Nowa Huta – Podłęże

[120] (ERA-E 78B2-B3; ERA-R 171B5; R15) PL24/76

Even though a local service calling at Lubocza & Kraków Nowa Huta [new station on site of old PKP one, not the further east staff halts] resumed on 15 March 2020, [since significantly reduced] and limited IC diversions continue in 2023/24, an entry is still required as there are two alternative routes east of Nowa Huta and near Podłęże. Such services can be identified with a | at Kraków Nowa Huta plus "<" markers between Kraków Grzegórski and Węgrzce Wielkie.

The usual route in both directions had been the much longer single-track north side line outside the elevated freight only balloon loop, but after upgrading it would appear eastbound services now take a much shorter inside curve to podg Koscielniki. Reports received for 21 July 2023 and 1 August for train TLK30104 departing Kraków Główny at 12:34 [still running to same times in 2023/24] advised this shorter curve was taken plus the flyover option of the lengthy grade separated junction approaching Podłęże so it would appear this section is now being treated as a two track railway.

Both alternatives are line 95 variants as shown more clearly on Open Railway Map than the Mały Atlas Kraków insert so further reports of eastbound journeys would be appreciated by the Compilers to confirm this change.


Kraków Główny avoider: Kraków Płaszów via Kraków Olsza - line 100 - Kraków Bronowice

[120/120a/140] (ERA-E 78C3; ERA-R 182; R15) PL24/77

No scheduled use in 2023/24, last used for a two day period of limited diversions on 9/10 September 2023, eastbound only. A new PDF 120a was included for the first two periods of 2021/22 showing three trains running via or calling at Kraków Olsza to/from Kraków Płaszów but apart from re-appearing in the 4 September 2022 timetable showing no services, it has not been included since! A traveller westbound on KMŁ33478 via Kraków Olsza in March 2022 reported his service to Kraków Główny crossed to the passenger route west of Kraków Łobzów omitting the separate alignment of freight line 100 by-passing Kraków Bronowice platforms, then reversed in Kraków Mydlniki platforms releasing the doors although not booked to call.


Kraków Bronowice

[140/142] (ERA-E 78C3 not shown; ERA-R 182C1 not shown; G8) PL24/78

When the newish station was built at Kraków Bronowice as part of the western approach improvement works for Kraków Główny, it has platforms [Peron I and II] on the existing main line (table 140) and [Peron III and IV] on the previous high level goods line. Click on the thumbnail for a full size map.


Platforms III and IV are now used by Kraków Airport services (table 142) and new connections were built to/from Kraków Łobzów: (i) a new westbound track rising to link with the eastbound track of the western freight avoider (line 95) before it crosses over the main line; (ii) eastbound dropping down to run parallel with the main line all the way to Kraków Główny. This is known as line 118 in both directions and it should be noted that services have been known to use Peron III or IV in the opposite direction to that expected, so all journeys should be checked.

Note line 118 west from Kraków Bronowice is at a higher level than the main line as far as a connecting junction east of Kraków Mydlniki.


(Kraków Batowice –) podg Kraków Przedmieśie – Line 602 – Kraków Olsza – Line 100 – Kraków Plaszów

[107, Lines 100/602] (ERA-E 78C3; ERA-R 171A5, not shown; R15) PL24/79

No scheduled use in 2023/24, last used by one train on the night of 21/22 February 2023. This curve allows trains from the Kozłów line (table 107) avoid Kraków Główny and proceed directly to Kraków Płaszów. Enter 107 in the Search by Table section and look for trains with a < at Kraków Główny and a time at Kraków Plaszów.

Kraków Plaszów – Kraków Bonarka (– Skawina)

[135a] (ERA-E 78C2; ERA-R 182; R15) PL24/80

One daily eastbound service shown in 2023/24. Services via this route were significantly reduced once the Kraków Plaszów avoiding curve opened in December 2017, since then varying from a service but all buses, to one train in one direction to nothing at all. In 2022/23 there was one train pair scheduled from 22 December 2022 - 28 February 2023, then just one PR from 1 - 31 August 2023.

106/43002 Graz Hbf [ÖBB] - 13:08/13:22 Oświęcim - Przemyśl Główny

Krotoszyn

Krotoszyn avoiding line (podg Osusz - Durzyn)

[350] (ERA-E 77C5; ERA-R 176B1; E5) PL24/81

No use scheduled in 2023/24. The last use of this 5.4km by-pass line was between 9 - 20 October 2023, 9 September 2022 and 7 - 11 September 2020.

Kwidzyn

Kwidzyn - Prabuty

[415] (ERA-E 75B3; ERA-R 172B1; B7) PL24/82

None scheduled in the PDFs for 2023/24. In 2023, two sources, one here, advised after the event, and photographs confirmed that this line was used by the pair of "Flisak" TLK's between 16 - 21 September 2023 but this was not reflected in the PKP journey planner. This 33km freight only line (line 218) has been used occasionally for diversions.

Łagów

Toporów - Łagów

[375] (ERA-E 74B13; ERA-R 175B3; D2) PL24/83

PolRegio have confirmed services will run again in 2024 but the only details known as at December 2023 are of an additional special from Gorzów Wielkopolski to Łagów on 17 June 2024. In 2023 PolRegio ran a pair of SSuO summer services from Zielona Góra/Zbąszynek to Łagów on 29 April, 1/3 May, 8/10/11 June and SSuO from 24 June - 3 September 2023 and timings were in the Journey Planner. These also ran in 2020 and 2021 but 2022's were shown as a bus. As at 11 June 2023 they were shown departing Zbąszynek at 09:10, returning from Łagów at 18:28.

The 2021 flyer was this timetable so there may be something similar for 2024.

Legnica

Legnica - Legnica Piekary [- Jawor]

[235] (ERA-E 77B; ERA-R 180C5 Not shown); R12) PL24/84

From 12 June 2022 all passenger trains to/from Jawor were using the normally freight only curve 749 on the south side of the EMU Depot to/from Peron I, services normally use line 137 on the north side to/from Peron IV or V. The March 2024 Peron sheets show most services still using Peron I but others using Peron V so prospective travellers should check the journey planner and stations screens for the up to date position.

Łódź and the area to the east including Koluszki

Łódź Kaliska avoiding line 539

[200a/601 B110] (ERA-E 78B5; ERA-R 177B2-B3, R11) PL24/85

After a period of no use from 14 June until 24 August 2020, most IC trains between Warszawa and Ostrow Wielkopolski plus some local ŁKA services now use this curve.

Łódź Chojny - Łódź Olechow Wschód - curve 541 - Łódź Andrzejów [- Łódź Widzew]

[602a] (ERA-E 78B5; ERA-R 177B2; R11) PL24/86

The December 2019 timetable change introduced a "circle" service from Łódź Widzew to Łódź Kaliska via three new stations on the southern ring line between Łódź Olechow Wschód and Łódź Chojny with details in a new timetable 602a. Curve 541 was previously used only by staff trains, latterly unadvertised, and note this reopening meant reinstatement of the flyover to/from Łódź Olechów Wschód and Łódź Andrzejów.

Any use of the remaining section of the southern ring section from Łódź Olechow Wschód to Bedoń will be shown separately in PL24/87.

(Łódź Chojny –) Łódź Olechów Wschód - line 25 - Bedoń (- Koluszki)

[601/602a/200] (ERA-E 78B5; ERA-R 177B1; R11) PL24/87

There are two routes between Łódź Chojny and Bedoń: the usual albeit longer passenger route via Łódź Widzew or the southern ring line via Łódź Olechów Wschód and this entry lists services running direct between Łódź Olechów Wschód and Bedoń identified in T601 by no call at Łódź Widzew and < markers from Justynów to Łódź Dąbrowa.

A December 2023 PKP PLK Press Notice advised of additional diversions due to new station construction on the line towards Łódź Widzew so additional short notice diversions may be available.

Note A PR-IR 17511 Warszawa Główna - 15:40 Koluszki - Poznań Główny
Note A 16102 Warszawa Wschodnia - 15:51 Koluszki - Wrocław Główny
Note B PR 17511 Warszawa Główna - 16:17 Koluszki - Poznań Główny

Note A: 15 - 20 January 2024
Note B: 10 - 29 March, 5 - 18 May 2024

Note any entries would also use parallel tracks to the normal Koluszki - Łódź main line pair to/from the east of Bedon which is a "V" station.
Additionally note a Bedoń to Łódź Olechów Wschód journey search may find other "direct" services but these either run via a reversal at Łódź Widzew, or [as happened for a time after 6 November 2022] this entry was used by some Łódź Widzew - Koluszki services shown in map view reversing at Łódź Olechów Wschód [without calling] with extended running time. If these latter services repeat they can be identified in table 602a by calls to/from Łódź Fabryczna and Łódź Andrzejów and < to Koluszki.

(Bedon -) Żakowice (p.odg. Pękowice) - (p.odg Bęzelin) - Chrusty Nowe (- Piotrków Trybunalski)

[102, 102a, 601] (ERA-E 78B5-C5; ERA-R 177C1; F9) PL24/88

Trains between Łódź and Piotrków Trybunalski/Częstochowa that do not call at Koluszki use this west to south curve. Note newish Table 102a now concentrates on Piotrków Trybunalski - Koluszki services as the Łódź IC's using this curve do not appear in this table, see T102 instead.

(Łódź –) Gałkówek – Żakowice Połudnowie - Wykno (– Tomaszów Mazowiecki)

[114a,114,/601] (ERA-E 78B5-C5; ERA-R 177C1; E8, R11) PL24/89

There are two possible routes between Łódź and Tomaszów Mazowiecki avoiding Koluszki but only one remains scheduled in 2023/24.

[A] Line 25, a double track line direct from Żakowice Połudnowie via the closed station and junction at Mikołajów to Wykno used by daily express services in Table 114 PDF to/from Łódź and Tomaszów Mazowiecki with a '<' from Koluszki to Słotwiny or
[B] Line 537, a single track line from Żakowice Połudnowie via podg Zielen to Słotwiny previously indicated in Table 114a PDF by a timing at Słotwiny. Koluszki has now been added to this table and as all trains call there, no service via this route in 2023/24.

Click on the thumbnail for a full size map.


Note that Gałkówek via Żakowice Połudnowie to podg Zielen is common with part of PL24/90 and parts of both routes are scheduled during 2023/24 and Interrail and PR Regional tickets are not valid on services run by local operator ŁKA.

(Gałkówek –) Żakowice Południowe – p.odg. Zieleń – line 535 - Koluszki

[102a,601,114] (ERA-E 78B5-C5; ERA-R 177C1; R11) PL24/90

Train use falls into three distinct groups :-

[A] some Łódź area to Skierniewice and Warszawa or v.v. services in 601 calling at both Żakowice Południowe and Koluszki. In the December 2023 102a PDF these are shown with a footnote mentioning a call at Żakowice Południowe.
[B] from the Łódź area to/from Tomaszów Mazowiecki that pass through or call at Żakowice Południowe and reverse in platform 3 at Koluszki. These can be identified in table 114a by a < at Żakowice
[C] some Łódź <=> Koluszki <=> Piotrków Trybunalski services in table 102a with a < symbol at Żakowice plus a footnote indicating they stop at Żakowice Południowe.

Use was previously indicated only in T601 by either a timetable footnote, sometimes with a * or a < marker against Żakowice.

Not scheduled in 2023/24, last used by odd dates limited diversions 22-26 May, 19-27 June, 10-31 except 17/18 July 2023.

Lublin

Lublin west to south avoider: curve 588

[550/555] (ERA-E 79B4; ERA-R 184A5; F12, R4) PL24/92

No known use in 2024. In 2023, the SKPL timetable and PKP map view confirmed diversions via this 0.986km avoiding curve, Stalowa Wola Rozwadow and Zwierzyniec [reverse] of the eastbound service towards the Ukraine with calls at Lublin Zachodni between the 7-9 November 2023. PKP JP map view in fact showed both directions diverted, even though the SKPL website timings showed the westbound service still calling at Lublin Główny. This may have been the first ever scheduled passenger use and note this train is non-stop to/from Lublin and the Ukraine and tickets are only available on the UZD website.

Lubliniec area

Lubliniec avoiding line: podg. Jawonica – podg. Droniowiczki

[165/175] (ERA-E 78A3-B4; ERA-R 182A3; G6) PL24/93

This north <=> south connection links the Częstochowa line (table 175) with the Paczyna line (table 165). Last used by PKP services between 10 - 23 July 2017, plus from some time in 2020 by the RZD operated Nice - Moskva services until suspended during the height of the covid pandemic. In light of the Russia - Ukraine war these are unlikely to run for the foreseeable future.

The 2024 pair are not shown in 165 but are in 175 and 102 with appropriate < markers.

Lubliniec station – Paczyna

[165] (ERA-E 78A3-A4; ERA-R 182A3; G6) PL24/94

This 36.5 km section of an otherwise freight only line is used by the limited services listed in table 165 which from at least August 2021 include a pair of daily daytime services. Note due to long term engineering work that the previous T180 Katowice - Kluczbork - Ostrow Wielkopolski - Poznan IC's also run via this route as per the journey planner map view but do not appear in 165, and have < markers from Chorzów Batory to Rusinowic in 180.

There is a substantial south to west grade separated junction at Lubliniec.

Nowy Dwor Gdanski (Żuławskiej Kolei Dojazdowej narrow gauge railway)

[457] (ERA-E 75B4, not shown; ERA-R 172B3; A7) PL24/95

This system worked by the Pomorskie Towarzystwo Miłośników Kolei Żelaznych (PTMKŻ) with three unusual sections of track is a Spring to Autumn only preserved ex PKP narrow gauge line from Nowy Dwor Gdanski to Sztutowo and Prawy Brzeg Wisły. Details are on their 2023 timetable and they plan to recommence from 1 May 2024. Note after the 2022 May Bank Holiday weekend that the Nowy Dwór Gdański - Stegna Gdanska service was suspended until further notice due to renovation of the Rybina swing bridge and the summer 2023 timetable showed this continuing.

Stegna Gdanska

This is a triangular station with platforms on all three sides with the south to east curve to/from Sztutowo in use sporadically. In 2023 only the east to west side is timetabled due to the above temporary line closure, in previous years the south to east curve was only timetabled by one pair on 30 April, 1-3 May 2022 or 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, 26 September 2021, before then only in 2017 and 2013.

Sztutowo

If travelling to/from Sztutowo on either a loco hauled train or a railcar towing trailers it will reverse around a triangle on arrival or departure at Sztutowo as there is no run round loop.

Nowy Dwor Gdanski - Cementarz-Komunalny

Hourly shuttles run for "All Saints" on the last weekend in October which are the only services running south from Nowy Dwor Gdanski [1.4km]. They ran on October 31 and November 1 and 2 2023, [ten pairs], as well as in 2021 & 2022, but 2020 services were cancelled the day before they were due to run due to additional Covid restrictions. See their website.

Oleśnica

Dąbrowa Oleśnicka – Oleśnica Rataje – Oleśnica

[200, 321] (ERA-E 77C4; ERA-R 181B5; F5) PL24/96

Most trains between Ostrów Wielkopolski and Wrocław Główny take the direct route via the north to west curve (Dąbrowa Oleśnicka – Oleśnica Rataje – Borowa Oleśnica (p.odg. Łukanów)) avoiding Oleśnica. However some take this north-to-east curve into Oleśnica station and reverse. Either a timing or < against Oleśnica indicates which route is taken. Note this curve and the north to west curve consist of separate single lines between Dąbrowa Oleśnicka and Oleśnica Rataje.

Opole

Opole by-pass: Opole Wschodnie - line 277 - Opole Groszowice

[215, 220] (ERA-E 78A4; ERA-R 181C3; R14) PL24/97

Use was supposedly due to end but is shown continuing until 9 March 2024. Note one pair does not appear in the 215 PDF as it has no calls, but can be identified by "<" markers at stations between Opole Główne and Święta Katarzyna in table 220 and from its route in the journey planner map view. This limited overnight passenger use commenced for all of 2021/22, the first since limited engineering work diversions of 215 local services many years ago.

Opole Głowne connecting line

[175/201/215] (ERA-E 78A4; ERA-R 181C3 too detailed to be shown; R14) PL24/98

None scheduled in 2023/24. Opole Głowne is a "v" station with the junction at the west end, with an east end bay platform and a 300m connection across from the south to the north side tracks. This was previously only a reversing siding adjacent to Bay Peron 1 Track 3 but has had a platform built serving it to become Peron 1a track 5. Following use of this link by a Branch Line Society June 2022 Tour it took until 11 June 2023 for any Peron sheet timetabled use which continues, but as all are to/from Kędzierzyn-Koźle they would not use this connecting line.

Ostrów Wielkopolski

Ostrów Wielkopolski avoiding curve: Czekanów (podg Stary Staw) – Biniew (podg Franklinów)

[200, 320] (ERA-E 78A5; ERA-R 176C1; E5) PL24/99

Use continues in 2023/24. Some Łódź - Poznań services were supposedly temporarily diverted via Kalisz and this curve when their usual route via Kutno was closed for long term engineering work, but they and local services introduced later are still operating. Note the KW services do not appear in table 200 PDFs.

[135a, 141] (ERA-E 78B2-C2; ERA-R 182B1-C1; G7-G8) PL24/100

Local services were extended from Przeciszów to Oświęcim on 10 December 2023 so this entry will be deleted in December 2024. This line has re-opened to regular services in stages, 4km from Skawina to Podbory Skawińskie from 13 March 2022, and to Przeciszów on 1 October 2022.

Note the avoiding curve east junction is west of where the Skawina line joins the line from Trzebinia.

Oświęcim avoiding curve: Oświęcim OwC1 – OwC - Skawina

[120/140/141] (ERA-E 77B1; ERA-R 188C4; G7) PL24/101

This north <=> east curve links the Mysłowice and Skawina/Trzebinia lines.

None scheduled in 2023/24, last known use by an overnight pair on 23/25 to 28 September, 16 October to 4/6, 12-15, 26-29 November, 3-6 December 2023.

Piła

Piła - Piła Towarowa - line 999 - podg Piła Północ

[340/365] (ERA-E 74C3, not shown; ERA-R 176A5; C4) PL24/102

None scheduled in 2023/24 for this alternative 2.3km route via the Goods Yard and connecting line 999 and not scheduled since the Peron sheets showed the Kostryzn - Gdynia TLK diverted via Szczecinek for a few days in June and September 2020. This entry is retained as pointwork allows any train to/from Peron 1 to 4 and the Szczecinek or Walcz lines to run via line 999 to avoid a conflict on the single-track section to/from podg Piła Północ, as opposed to guaranteed use of line 999 by any such services booked to arrive or depart from Piła Glowna Peron 5 or 6.

Please notify the Compilers of any non-Peron V or VI services routed via line 999.

Poznań area

Routes via Poznań Franowo area

Franowo is a large marshalling yard and depot on the south freight ring around Poznań and the lines through the yard area provide an alternative to passing through Poznań Główny station. Use is normally:-

  • Trains to/from the north [almost exclusively to/from Szczecin] to avoid a reversal at Poznań Główny traverse through Poznań Franowo to/from the Warszawa and Inowrocław lines.
  • when the lines from Poznań Główny to Swarzędz or Kobylnica are closed due to engineering work.
  • By Turkol excursions from Poznań Główny. Different options exist, but the most usual are ‘short’ circulars via Franowo and Poznań Wschód or ‘long’ circulars via Franowo and the northern freight ring to Kiekrz where they reverse.


Within the Franowo area any Turkol anti-clockwise ‘long’ circuit services can take different routes, either Line 352 on the north side of the yard, or lines 823/824, a south side route from podg Pokrzywno and a flyover to podg Stary Młyn. Line 352 on the north side runs via platforms used by staff trains prior to their withdrawal in approximately December 2006 and all westbound or clockwise Turkol charters must take this route.

Poznań Starolęka - podg Pokrzywno - Poznań Franowo - Swarzędz

[300a] (ERA-E 74C1; ERA-R 180C1; R10&D4) PL24/103

There are up to five daytime pairs running via Franowo from 10 March - 8 June in the 2023/24 timetable year as confirmed in the journey planner map view and < markers from Poznań Antoninek to Poznań Garbary.

Local sources suggested these all use line 352 on the west side of Franowo Yards in both directions but a summer 2021 traveller reported an eastbound overnight ran to the east of all yards from podg Pokrzywno via line 806 as in previous years so reports of travel on eastbound services would be appreciated by the Compilers.




Przemyśl area

(Przemyśl Główny –) Hurko – Medyka (– Mostys'ka 2)

[122] (ERA-E 79B2; ERA-R 184B1; H12, R35) PL24/104

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 122a but note in the 2023/24 PDFs that this is no longer advertised to the last stop at Medyka, assumed related to the stations very close proximity to the rail and road border crossing.

  • 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 "2011 Atlas Linii Kolejowych Polski" is incorrect in showing passenger stations on 989; they are on Line 91 and the enlarged page R35 and on G13 in the 2022 edition show this correctly.

  • Line 92, the 1520 mm gauge line into Ukraine.

This route is used by any cross border Ukrainian Railways operated services between L'viv and Przemyśl Główny. These are no longer shown in PKP 122a and service levels can fluctuate with the refugee situation. As at December 2023 five pairs were shown in the PKP journey Planner.

Up until the 2016/17 TT change it was believed Lines 91 and 92 were used on alternate days by the overnight Wrocław - L'viv/Lvov service, 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. The Przemyśl Główny Peron sheets usually showed this service using a Standard gauge platform in both directions and the PKP Journey planner route map via Line 91, but note timings did not preclude use of the gauge changer at Przemyśl. This service was suspended for Covid, only resuming from 14 March until being withdrawn on 10 December 2022 so since then only BG passenger trains have crossed the border.

Rzepin: Connection from Frankfurt (Oder) to Zielona Góra line

[355, 300, M103] (ERA-E 74A1, not shown; ERA-R 175A3 not shown; D1 not shown) PL24/108

Rzepin is a two sided station with Frankfurt (Oder) to Poznań services using the north, and Szczecin to Zielona Góra services south side platforms with connections at each end.

At the west end is a 0.5km line through freight yards used by services between Frankfurt (Oder) and Zielona Góra as shown clearly shown in tables 300 and 355.

The 170m east end connection had been used since 2018 by a number of TLK's between Poznań and Szczecin but this reduced to a pair of overnights from 2022/23. Odd days excepted they are TLK 18172 departing Świebodzin at times from 03:57 to 04:55, and TLK 81170 departing Rzepin at 00:38 as listed in Table 300.

Sandomierz area

Sandomierz – Sobów – Tarnobrzeg

[116/126] (ERA-E 79A3; ERA-R 183C3; G10) PL24/110

A limited service was re-introduced in summer 2017. They can be identified in table 126 by timings at Wielowieś before and after a call at Sandomierz between Sobów and Grębów. Note this entry and PL24/111 run parallel for 4km south from Sandomierz.

Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski – Sandomierz – Grębów

[115] (ERA-E 79A3-A4; ERA-R 183B5-C3; F10-G10) PL24/111

Used by the Skarzysko Kamienna avoider services in PL24/112 plus Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski to Sandomierz [when not closed for engineering works] is additionally used by a limited dates pair of locals. Sandomierz – Grębów is also traversed by those services that reverse at Sandomierz in PL24/110.

Skierniewice – line 529 – Skierniewice Rawka (podg. Miedniewice)

[601/B170] (ERA-E 75C1; ERA-R 177C2, not shown; E8) PL24/114

Any service to/from Warszawa using the new far north side platform [Peron 3 Track 104, opened by October 2019] must run via 2km of previously goods only track on the north side of a substantial yard, plus 1.9km long line 529, a separate alignment outside, and on the north side of the flyover to/from line 604. The same route is used in both directions thanks to a crossover east of the line 529 junction.

The only regular use of Peron 3 Track 104 is to/from the opposite Łowicz or Łodz direction but occasionally, [the last time by one train between 9-15 July 2023] this entry sees use, split between local KM services or calling IC's. Additionally there has been booked use by non-stopping IC services but these can only be found by a journey planner map view search and travellers advise running this way is subject to good timekeeping.

Szczecin area

Szczecin Główny eastern approaches

[361] (ERA-E 74A3; ERA-R 170B4; R1) PL24/120

There are two alternative routes from Szczecin Zdroje (p.odg. Regalica) to Szczecin Główny. The shorter northern route runs via Szczecin Port Centralny station into the northern end of Szczecin Główny, and the longer southern route via p.odg. Dziewoklicz and p.odg. Szczecin Wstowo into the southern end of Szczecin Główny. Services taking the southern route may be identified by a '<' symbol against Szczecin Port Centralny.

Szczecin Podjuchy - Szczecin Zdroje

[366, plus 361/370] (REA-E 74A3; ERA-R 170B4: R1) PL24/121

A replacement higher double track fixed bridge opened on the direct line towards Szczecin Główny on 10 December 2023 which from drone photos in this article appears to be on the same alignment as the replaced single track drawbridge. This resulted in much reduced use of this Szczecin avoiding curve except for one pair of summer only services. Note this pair are not shown in the 366 PDF and they also travel via the EGTRE entry Rzepin avoiding line.

Torun

Toruń Główny – podg Nieszawka (- Inowrocław)

[405] (ERA-E 75A2; ERA-R 177A4; R3) PL24/125

There are two routes: on the north side of Toruń Towarowy yard climbs over the Bydgoszcz line whereas the alternative on the south side passes through Toruń Kluczyki station. Services calling at Toruń Kluczyki to/from Inowrocław must use the southerly route and line 734, but fast services which have a "<" marker against Toruń Kluczyki are booked to take the northerly route but in practice may use either.

Warszawa area - East of a north-south line through Warszawa Centralna

PKP IC have announced the substantial works in the Warszawa Zachodnia area are planned to end in June 2024, but the March 2024 PDFs contains numerous diversions for 3 - 8 June, so use of the many diversions listed to the east and west of Warszawa could cease, some already have no scheduled use in 2023/24.

This west <=> east curve east of Warszawa Zoo consists of a very large grade separated junction which allows trains to/from Warszawa Wschodnia or Warszawa Rembertow reach Warszawa Gdańska.

Click on the thumbnail for the diagram:


Considerable use since the 2020-2021 timetable period in both directions by trains avoiding Warszawa Centralna and Warszawa Zachodnia due to engineering work capacity restrictions. This continues in 2023/24 but note westbound services have been known to NOT take the longer flyover route.

The numerous Warszawa Wschodnia <=> Warszawa Gdańska services in the current timetable can be found by a direct journey search.

Routes between Warszawa and Pilawa

There are three routes between Warszawa and Pilawa. All local trains run via Warszawa Olszynka Grochowska and Otwock but as the routes taken by main line services have varied over recent years they are itemised below.

[Warszawa] - podg Stojadja - Minsk Mazowiecki avoider – Line 13 - Pilawa

[550, 613] (ERA-E 76A1; ERA-R 178B2; D10/E10) PL24/128

Use re-commenced from 17 September 2023 as indicated in table 550 by services with times at a Warszawa station and Pilawa plus a < at Otwock. Note those services running via Warszawa Gdanska also use PL24/127. Running via this route can also be indicated in 613 by a < at and beyond Minsk Mazowiecki.

This was previously the main route for fast trains between Warszawa Wschodnia and Pilawa but has significantly declined once south of Otwock was doubled.

The 2023-24 timetable has 16 trains using this route in December 2023, but much reduced later so they are listed as follows:-.

[Warszawa Wschodnia –] Warszawa Wschodnia Towarowa – p.odg. Warszawa Antoninów – line 506 - Warszawa Gocławek [– Warszawa Wawer]

[614] (ERA-E 76C5; ERA-R 174B5; R6, R8) PL24/129

This is an alternative route (line 506) between Warszawa Wschodnia and Warszawa Gocławek used by any services booked via Otwock with a < against Warszawa Olszynka Grochowska and Warszawa Grochów.

Note this route is grade separated at Warszawa Antoninów, with the inbound track remaining separate until the Warszawa Wschodnia near approaches. This routing has gone in and out of scheduled use over the years, most recently suspended when doubling of line 614 south of Otwock and four tracking south from Warszawa Gocławek towards Otwock was in progress. As part of the four tracking there will be two fast tracks on the east side and two local tracks on the west, so the flyover north from Warszawa Gocławek previously used by all northbound services towards Warszawa Olszynka Grochowska has been demolished.

In the 2023-24 timetable most but not all IC services via Otwock, plus a few local services take this obscure route. Click on the thumbnails for the diagrams:

Chotomów – curve 511 - Legionowo Piaski – (Tłuszcz)

[609, 608] (ERA-E 76A1; ERA-R 174B5; D9) PL24/131

Used by a limited DMU service to/from Sierpc and Tłuszcz (where a KM Depot is located) to avoid a reversal at Legionowo. A service commenced in 2017 and to note the curve is separate from the main line until Chotomów so eastbound timings are given for the stop before the junction. These entries are also the only passenger services between Radzymin and Tłuszcz on 609.

KM 51141 Sierpc - 12:45/12:57 Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki - Tłuszcz
KM 51143 Sierpc - 20:34/20:24 Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki - Tłuszcz

Czachówek Południowy – Czachówek Wschodni

[604, 605] (ERA-E 76A1; ERA-R 174B3; E10) PL24/132

There are no services in the 2023-24 timetable, last uses were short periods of limited train use in the November and mid-summer 2023 timetable updates. This south <=> east curve connects the Radom to Warszawa line with the southern freight ring. Up to 12 July 2019 limited Warszawa to Góra Kalwaria (and v.v.) services continued to Czachówek Południowy to reverse and used this curve.

Ustanówek (p.odg. Czachówek Płd Czp 11) – Czachówek Wschodni

[604, 605] (ERA-E 76A1; ERA-R 174B3; E10) PL24/133

This north <=> east curve connects the Warszawa to Radom line with the southern freight ring and is used by all direct services to/from Warszawa and Góra Kalwaria. Table 604 only shows Czachówek Wschodni and Góra Kalwaria stations but all services are through to/from at least Piaseczno on the main line via this curve. In the 2023-24 timetable most services start/finish at Warszawa Gdańska.


Warszawa area - west of a north-south line through Warszawa Centralna

PKP IC have announced the substantial works in the Warszawa Zachodnia area are planned to end in June 2024 but there are many scheduled between the 3 - 8 June 2024. Use of the many diversions listed to the east and west of Warszawa could then cease, some already have no scheduled use in 2023/24.

Warszawa Zachodnia Peron 9 [Ex Peron 8/Ex Warszawa Wola] connection to main line

[608] (ERA-E 76C5; ERA-R 174B5; R6) PL24/134

Following the substantial work west of Warszawa Zachodnia there have been changes to the routes to/from Warszawa Włochy or Warszawa Aleje Jerozolimskie.

From December 2023 limited through KM services commenced running to/from Warszawa Włochy and Warszawa Zachodnia Peron 9 and as confirmed in journey planner map view, these services are shown taking newly designated line 850 outside and on the north side of the flyover towards Warszawa Aleje Jerozolimskie [on the Radom line]. 850 was previously the normal westbound main line track which has been relocated alongside the eastbound to run underneath that Radom line flyover. Note some westbound services listed are not shown in the 601 PDF but in 606, others are included but with no time at Warszawa Zachodnia :-

Note C KM91974 Skierniwice - 23:24 Warszawa Włochy - via Warszawa Gdańska to Warszawa Wschodnia

Note B KM19457 Warszawa Wschodnia - 23:51 Warszawa Gdańska - Sochaczew

Note A: To 9 March 2024
Note B: 9 January to 9 March 2024
Note C: To 18 May 2024
Note D: 11 March - 17 May 2024
Note E: 20 May - 8 June 2024

Travel between Warszawa Zachodnia Peron 9 and both Warszawa Włochy and Warszawa Aleje Jerozolimskie had previously been via a short link to a flat junction, with anything to/from Warszawa Aleje Jerozolimskie only then using flyover line 8 but historically all services to/from Warszawa Gdanska had terminated at Warszawa Wola/Zachodnia on platforms on a sharp curve some distance away from the main station platforms with nothing scheduled through onto either main line. But from December 2019 there was an hourly experimental service to/from Warszawa Lotnisko Chopina using the flat connection which became so popular that there were many complaints when they were withdrawn on 25 September 2020 so they were re-instated from 11 November 2020. A Press Notice then advised they could only run until 14 March 2021 due to the substantial Warszawa Zachodnia station improvement works but promised they would resume. After the westbound main line had been repositioned line 8 was now a conflict free route to/from Warszawa Zachodnia Peron 9 so regular services resumed from 12 March 2023.

As part of the improvement works, a new flyover has been built to allow a conflict free access from line 8 to the middle platforms at Warszawa Zachodnia, this starts from after line 8 crosses over both main line tracks and re-crosses the westbound main line.

Warszawa Włochy - Warszawa Zachodnia [5th track] and new flyover

[606/601] (ERA-E 76C5; ERA-R 174B5; R7) PL24/135

The 5th track commences in-between the two local lines to the east of Warszawa Włochy, [shown on OpenRailwayMap as line 3] as the two main and two local line tracks take different routes between Warszawa Włochy and Warszawa Zachodnia, the local lines additionally separating to run either side of an EMU Depot and sidings. It climbs over the outbound local line and has a separate alignment until approaching Warszawa Zachodnia. It appeared to be previously reversible, but its prime function was to allow inbound main line services from Sochaszew on line 606 a non-conflicting approach to the north side platforms at Warszawa Zachodnia. Any local services from lines 601/606 to the recently re-opened Warszawa Głowna also use this fifth track for the same reason and such journeys are clearly shown in journey planner map view.

The alignments on the western approaches close to Zachodnia have changed including a new flyover [see PL24/134] so that may have marginally altered the previous 5th track approach location, as this ex Radom flyover line towards W-Zachodnia drops to come alongside this 5th track when previously it was on a unique alignment in that area.

Warszawa Zachodnia "avoider": Warszawa Aleje Jerozolimskie - Line 510 - part line 20 - Warszawa-Gołąbki [- Line 19 - Piastów]

[601, 612] (ERA-E 76C5; ERA-R174B4; R7, R5) PL24/136

No scheduled use in the 2023-24 timetable, last used in part in early 2022/23, see PL24/137. Previously a new IC service started in 2019/20 between Warszawa Lotnisko Chopina and Łódź Fabryczna running via these freight only routes. Trains ran approximately two hourly with gaps but were suspended due to Covid from 18 March 2020, shown resuming on 8 November 2020 but have never resumed.

Part of this description is covered by other obscure route entries, and the rarer line 510 has seen use combined with an alternative routing since the 2021/22 timetable which repeated from December 2022. Therefore a separate entry for that has been set up below.

Warszawa Zachodnia "avoider": Warszawa Aleje Jerozolimskie - Line 510 - part line 20 - Warszawa-Gołąbki [reverse] [- line 509 - Warszawa Gdanska]

[110, 601, 605] (ERA-E 76C5; ERA-R174B4; R7, R5) PL24/137

No use in 2023-24. Previous use was for a few days in June and July 2023, and short periods in 2021 and 2022. These services ran to/from Warszawa Aleje Jerozolimskie via line 510 and line 20 to the end of Warszawa Główna Towarowa freight yard, reversed and used line 509 to/from Warszawa Gdańska.

Warszawa Gdańska – line 509 - Warszawa Jelonki – Warszawa Gołąbki – Piastów (podg Jozefinów)

[601, 608] (ERA-E 76C5; ERA-R174B4; R7, R5) PL24/138

Frequent use continues in 2023/24. This route allows trains to/from the CMK, Koluszki or destinations such as Łódź, Częstochowa and Wrocław to/from Warszawa Gdańska to avoid Warszawa Zachodnia. Please use the Journey Planner map view facility for diversions due to engineering works at Warszawa Zachodnia.

The trains using the route can most easily be identified from the All Year arrival and departure sheets for Warszawa Gdańska Peron sheets. Alternatively look at timetables 100, 601 and departures/arrivals at Warszawa Gdańska, some from/to Warszawa Wschodnia or those that do not call at Warszawa Centralna and Warszawa Zachodnia and have twelve < and two | at Pruszków. See also PL24/140 for extra detail on Warszawa Gołąbki.

  • Option [C] The towards Warszawa split of line 46 from Warszawa-Czyste via a diveunder to lower numbered platforms at Warszawa Zachodnia was blocked during the current major reconstruction work and does not yet appear to have been re-instated.

Warszawa Gdańska - Line 507 - Warszawa Gołąbki - Sochaczew

[606,300] (ERA-E 76C5; ERA-R 174B4; R5) PL24/140

This entry indicates use of the connections at Warszawa Gołąbki to/from the Sochaczew main line and Warszawa Gdańska as shown clearly on Open Railway Map.

The Westbound split of 507 is a 1.5km separate line running outside the 606 main line flyover from east of Warszawa Gołąbki by-passing the platform and not joining the main line until west of the station. Only services from Warszawa Gdańska towards Sochaczew use this as those from Warszawa Zachodnia via PL24/139 can only cross to table 606 to the west of Warszawa Gołąbki station.

The eastbound towards Warszawa Gdanska routing is a crossover west of Warszawa Gołąbki platform onto the eastbound track of line 507 parallel with line 19, then under the main line 606 flyover until 507 and 19 combine to join line 509 as a continuation of PL24/138.

Use continues in 2023/24 which can be identified by a direct journey planner search between Warszawa Gdańska and Sochaczew and has been in use by limited passenger services since work to upgrade Warszawa Zachodnia commenced in 2020/21.

In addition to those listed below there are five westbound and eight eastbound between 3 - 8 June 2024 as clearly shown in PDF 606.

Press comments advised there would be then a break while the service was re-assessed so it is unclear if this will resume later in 2024, and if so by which route. Before 2023 this cross border routing was in use by some eastbound services between 9 July and 29 August 2022, 22 May 2021 and 5, 6, 11, 12, 13 October 2019.

Wierzchucin

Wierzchucin

[424/431/431a] (ERA-E 75A3, not shown; ERA-R 171C1; B6) PL24/142

Click on the thumbnail for a full size map.


This is a split station with the junction some way north of the platforms and any service to/from Laskowice Pomorskie via Drzycim [currently suspended] terminating at the east side Peron I on a curve. Therefore the 1km to/from that platform and the junction sees no regular use as opposed to/from the west side Bydgoszcz platforms. The December 2023 PDFs show Peron 1 to/from the north in limited use and note the physical junction is a diamond slip so trains to/from Peron I and Lipowa Tucholska/Szlachta use slightly different pointwork from any to/from Tuchola.

See the Wierzchucin Peron sheets.

Wierzchucin - Laskowice Pomorskie

[431a/431] (ERA-E 75A3; ERA-R 171C1; B6) PL24/143

Passenger services on this 26km long line were suspended due to Covid travel restrictions from 18 March 2020 and have not been restored. Since then there have been occasions of timetabled odd day, and even one direction only PDF shown use, but recently only by limited services diverted from 431 between Bydgoszcz and Wierzchucin. Use can be identified by a series of < markers between Wierzchucin and Maksymilianowo plus timings to/from Bydgoszcz. The previous use was between 6 - 10 November 2023 by three departures from Wierzchucin and two from Bydgoszcz Główną and note any services to/from north of Wierzchucin would also use PL24/142.

Next scheduled use is by departures from Bydgoszcz Główną to Tuchola at 23:09 on 15 April, and at 22:56 between 16 - 19 April 2024.

Wrocław area

(Wrocław Główny) – Wrocław Muchobór - Line 275 - Wrocław Nowy Dwór

[260] (ERA-E 77C4; ERA-R 180A1; R13) PL24/144

In previous years what appears to be a grade separated junction between Wrocław Muchobór and Wrocław Nowy Dwór to/from Legnica was not used as such as the majority of services in both directions used the south side/inside curve to/from Peron 2; only services running through or calling at Peron 1 used the diveunder. Main line services were known to use either route and despite the on-line Peron sheet for Wrocław Nowy Dwór and Journey Planner showing use of both platforms, a traveller in 2020 advised the departure sheet displayed at the station showed all services using Peron 2.

Note the Journey Planner map view does not distinguish between the two sides of this junction but reports received in June 2022 advised their westbound non-stopping semi-fast, or expresses used the outside curve and a local in May 2023 did likewise so reports would be appreciated by the Compilers.

Wrocław Muchobór - Line 757 - Signalbox WS - podg Wrocław Grabiszyn [- Wrocław Głowny]

[260, 265] (ERA-E 77C4; ERA-R 180A1; R13) PL24/145

No scheduled use in 2023/24. This is an alternative route between Wrocław Muchobór and podg Wrocław Grabiszyn. Any train booked to call at platform II track 4 at Wrocław Muchobór must run via this route but as there is no intermediate station for a > marker these can only be identified from the Peron sheets. Last scheduled up to 8 December 2023 and use has varied from zero, through limited to extensive in recent years and note the physical junction is north of Wrocław Muchobór station platform.

As part of a successful kolej+ bid line 757 is to be doubled to allow regular services to a re-opened Wrocław Świebodzki.

Września avoiding line Gutowo Wlkp. (p.odg. Sokołowo Wrzesińskie) – Podstolice (Pd box)

[300/300a] (ERA-E 75A1; ERA-R 176B3-C3; D5) PL24/146

This east <=> west main line avoiding Września station is used by trains on table 300 with a < at Września.

Żagań area

Żagań - line 275 - Bieniów

[356] (ERA-E 77A5; ERA-R 175B1; E2) PL24/147

None scheduled in 2024 which can be identified by a "<" at Lubanice. All Zielona Góra Główna - Żary services were diverted via this almost 16km long freight line to reverse at Bieniów between 24 October - 11 November 2023.

Żagań - line 389 - Jankowa Żagańska (- Węgliniec)

[356] (ERA-E 77A5; ERA-R 175B1; E2) PL24/148

In regular limited use since December 2020 as identified by "<" markers at Żary Kunice and a timing at Jankowa Żagańska. Note the junction at Jankowa Żagańska is some way south of the "V" station.

Jankowa Żagańska - line 380 - Przewoz

[356] (ERA-E 77A5; ERA-R 175B1; E2) PL24/149

A press article advises PolRegio ran two excursions from Zielona Góra onto the 23km long freight branch from Jankowa Żagańska to Przewoz on 13 May and 16 September 2023 and there will repeats on yet to be confirmed dates in 2024. They were advertised by PolRegio under the Programme of "Poczuj przygodę odkrywając Lubuskie pociągami POLREGIO" to visit Park Mużakowski.

A search finds the 2023 timings were Zielona Góra d 09:42 a 21:26, Przewoz a 11:34 d 19:28.

Zagórz area

Zagórz R101 - Zagórz (Zagórz east to south curve)

[128, 131, 134] (ERA-E 79B2; ERA-R 187A5; H11) PL24/150

From 1 March 2023 a new local service from Sanok to Ustrzyki Dolne service commenced with 3 train pairs SSuX, and 1 pair SSuO meaning only the Zagórz east to south curve can now be considered an obscure route. This is scheduled by a SKPL DMU operated TLK to Uherce outbound on May day weekend and Summer Saturday's from Kraków Główny via Sanok and the Zagórz west to east curve to Uherce to reverse, returning via this Zagórz east to south curve to Łupków. The return service on the Sunday takes this route in reverse via Uherce. This is again shown running in 2024 with timings in the three PDFs.

Zakopane temporary station

[135] (ERA-E 78C1; ERA-R 185C4; H8) PL24/151

The main station re-opened as planned on 22 December 2023 so this entry will be deleted in December 2024.

This entry referred to use of a temporary station 1km north in Zakopane Spyrkówka goods yard with two platforms on a roughly 600 metre branch up to 100m width away from the main line used when the main station was closed for totally new track infrastructure from an unknown date in 2022 until 3 September 2022, then again from 22 December 2022 - 28 February 2023. It had two separate platforms, the one used by long-distance passenger services going further into the yard.

Żary: connecting line 74

[270] (ERA-E 77A5 not shown; ERA-R 175B1 not shown; E2) PL24/152

None scheduled in 2023/24. Żary platforms are on either side of a central station building with a lengthy connection to/from Peron 2 on the Zielona Gora platform side to/from the Tuplice/Forst line whose services normally use Peron 3 or 4. Last use by one train from 4 - 7 September 2023.


Zgorzelec

Zgorzelec

[255/260] (ERA-E 77A4; ERA-R 180B5; F2) PL24/153

Note all services to/from Lubań Śląski to Zgorzelec continue to/from Görlitz [DB] and Zgorzelec is a "v" station with the junction with table 260 considerably west of the platforms. This lengthy overlap had until 2018 only been used by an unusual Węgliniec to Lubań Śląski service calling at Zgorzelec twice after a reversal on the main line.

Obscure services: Lines used on an occasional basis for engineering work diversions

Radzice – Idzikowice (Line 573)

[100/113] (ERA-E 78C5; ERA-R 183A5; E9) PL23/9

Last scheduled by several Kraków Główny <=> Olsztyn Główny services up to 13 March 2022. Any services reverse at Idzikowice and use this curve between the CMK and line 113 and to note they do not appear in table 100.

Podg Dorota – line 171 – Dąbrowa Gornicza Wschodnia (– Sławków)

[105] (ERA-E 77B2; ERA-R 188A4-B4; R18) PL23/52

Last scheduled from 10 April to 9 May 2022 when all Katowice <=> Kozłów services were diverted via this and PL23/51, running from Sosnowiec Dańdówka to Sławków without calling at Dąbrowa Gornicza Wschodnia. Note both tracks north from podg Dorota are grade separated by width and height from line 133 in-between as is the curve to Dąbrowa Gornicza Wschodnia so travel in both directions is recommended.

(Katowice – Sosnowiec Porąbka) – Sosnowiec Kazimierz avoider curve 663 – line 163 – Sosnowiec Maczki (– Jaworzno Szczakowa)

[140] (ERA-E 77B2; ERA-R 188B4; R18) PL23/57

Last used between March and June 2021, then only an overnight train pair until 29 August 2021. This is an alternative route between Katowice and Jaworzno Szczakowa indicated by < markers at Mysłowice and a partial entry in 105. The regular passenger service on line 163 using the north to east curve to/from Sosnowiec Kazimierz as part of then table 105 ended on 2 April 2001.


Lublin Tatary Goods Yard: Świdnik – Lublin Tatary - Lublin

[550A] (ERA-E 79B4; ERA-R 184A5; F12, R4) PL23/103

Last used from an unknown date in 2021 until 28 August 2021 by the Piła Główny to Hrubieszów Miasto train pair. This is the route through Lublin Tatary Goods Yard known as line 67 which starts at Świdnik and re-joins the normal route just before Lublin station. Trains using this route may be identified by a < symbol at only Lublin Północny.

Szczecin Główny western approaches

[368, 369] (ERA-E 74A3; ERA-R 170B4; R1) PL23/144

There are three possible routes between Szczecin Gumieńce and Szczecin Główny. From north to south these are:

  • a single track line via Szczecin Wzgórze Hetmańskie and Szczecin Pomorzany
  • the single track direct line, which is the one normally used
  • the southern loop via p.odg. Szczecin Wstowo - p.odg. Dziewoklicz - Szczecin Port Centralny.

There were diversions in 2017 via Szczecin Wzgórze Hetmańskie and some via an unspecified route (with allowances up to 14 minutes) on 20/21 & 24 June - 7 July 2019. No timetabled diversions scheduled since but a later traveller is known to have travelled via Szczecin Wzgórze Hetmańskie.

Warszawa Praga - Warszawa Toruńska

[608] (ERA-E 76C5; ERA-R 174B5; R5) PL23/154

Between 23 - 28 August 2020 many services to/from Warszawa Gdanska and Legionowo had < markers at Warszawa Praga and Warszawa Toruńska but these used parallel non-platform lines rather than through the freight yard. For a passenger service to run the complete length of the yard and the grade separated junction at the north end, the PDF should also show a < marker at Warszawa Zeran.

Corridor Trains

The following sections of line within Poland can be ridden only in the through (corridor) trains of neighbouring administrations:

  • (Hagenwerder [Germany] -) Hagenwerder Grenze (frontier) - Krzewina Zgorzelecka - Trzciniec frontier and Trzciniec frontier - Hirschfelde Grenze (frontier) (- Hirschfelde [Germany]) (36A2). There is a 200m stretch of line in Germany between the two frontiers at Trzciniec. The line is operated only by ODEG trains on the Zittau - Görlitz - Cottbus route (former DB table 220).
  • (Zittau [Germany] -) frontier - frontier (- Hrádek nad Nisou [Czech Republic]) (36A2): ČD table 089. There are no stations in Poland on this line.
  • Głuchołazy - frontier (- Jindřichov ve Slezsku [Czech Republic]) (37A1): Through Krnov – Jesenik trains on ČD table 292 use PKP tracks in and out of Głuchołazy as there is no triangle here and the approximately 13km of PKP tracks east of Głuchołazy are only traversed by ČD services. From 10 December 2006 ČD services call to set down and pick up at Głuchołazy.
