Introduction

Updating to reflect the 2012/13 timetable is work in progress as the national printed timetable book and on line PDF’s are no longer available. As a consequence it is no longer possible to check all PKP IC and PKP PR service routing in one table by | or > markers so especially on IC tables there is an element of assumption based on previous years use and station calling points. Entries will initially be updated randomly and numbered PL13/.. Standard abbreviations used are explained in General Information. Map references to pages in the "Mały Atlas Linii Kolejowych Polski 2011”, ISBN 978-83-931006-3-7, published by Wydawnictwo Eurosprinter are shown eg R14.

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

[107] (ERA78C3 , R15) PL11/6.1

Reduced track capacity during engineering works at Kraków Główny during 2011 led to two southbound trains being diverted via this line and omitting the stop at Kraków Główny before calling at Kraków Plaszów. The train can be identified by a wavy line against Kraków Główny or a footnote saying it does not call at Kraków Główny on certain dates. The diversions lasted from 4/4/11 until 31/7/11.

Hurko - Medyka

[122] (ERA79B2 not shown, H12) PL12/11

Between these points the broad and standard gauge tracks follow separate routes. The internal PKP service was withdrawn on 31 March 2004 but a limited service via the Broad gauge line has continued at all times. The standard gauge tracks saw no scheduled passenger use following an incident with the Kraków – Kiev service at the Mostiska 2 gauge changer in the Ukraine in October 2006 but reports since it resumed running daily from 1 June 2009 show varying gauge changer use. A westbound traveller in summer 2009 used the broad gauge line and Przemyśl gauge changer, whilst in Spring 2010 the eastbound service changed there and the westbound service used the standard gauge line and Ukrainian gauge changer. Internal PKP Staff trains may continue on the standard gauge as there were non-timetabled halts serving transhipment yards. A report of usage following the introduction of the new gauge changing service would be welcomed.

Poznań Franowo

Poznań Franowo is a large marshalling yard and depot on the south freight ring around Poznań. There had been diversions since March 2007 due to extensive engineering works on the main line but now completed only limited use remains. There were two eastbound routes to reach T300 and T430, either remaining on the north side of the yard or a southside route from p.odg Pokrzywno, splitting past the locomotive depot so that those to/from T430 used a flyover towards p.odj Zieliniec and those on T300 used a line outside this flyover [not shown on Ball or Quail maps] towards Swarzędz. The north side of Franowo Yard route runs via the platforms used by the staff trains prior to withdrawal approx December 2006. Which route the eastbound service takes is not known but westbound services travel on the north side of the yard.

[Poznań Głowny –] Poznań Starołęka – p.odg. Pokrzywno - Poznań Franowo – Poznań Swarzędz

[300/ex398/300] (ERA74C1, R10&D4) PL11/49.1

Kołobrzeg Port

[off 375] (ERA, ) PL11/49.3

A normally freight-only branch which passes through the city streets. Every few years the annual Poznań Gł - Kołobrzeg steam excursion terminates in the Port rather than at Kołobrzeg station. The last occasion was on 29/5/11, details of that train were advertised at http://www.przewozyregionalne.pl/aktualnosci,s,8,346.html .

€ Rogoźno Wielkopolskie - Wągrowiec

[395] (ERA74C2, D4) PL11/50.1

A former freight-only line that reopened temporarily to passengers on 1/9/2011 when passenger trains on table 390 between Wągrowiec and Poznań Wschód ceased due to engineering works. Surprisingly the passenger services is continuing in 2011/12 after the Poznań Wschód - Wągrowiec - Golancz route (table 390) reopens. This line is expected to close at the start of the 2011/12 timetable. The current timetable is at http://www.przewozyregionalne.pl/img_in//SRJP/Zmienione%20tabele%20SRJP%202010%20-%202011/Tabela%20390-395%20z%20dnia%2030.08.11-zm.133.xls.pdf and the 2011/12 timetabel at http://www.koleje-wielkopolskie.com.pl/images/rozklady/liniowka395-2012.pdf .

Iława

[400/405/500] (ERA75B3 not shown correctly, B8) PL10/51

There are two routes between Iława station and Działdowo, the Malbork – Warszawa main line diving under the Toruń – Olsztyn line from the north side and a curve from the yard and south side platform. Trains to and from Dzialdowo cannot reach south side platform 3 from the north side curve and the 2003 departure sheets showed use of Platform 3 by three scheduled trains to/from the south on table 400. By mid 2007 there are no similarly timed services so current departure sheet information would be welcomed. It should be noted that is possible to use the south side curve to/from all platforms, but the north side route is the normal route. Olsztyn - Iława - Malbork services use connections at the Olsztyn end of the station to cross to the north side platforms.

Toruń Główny – Suchatówka (Nieszawka)

[416/430] (ERA75A2, R3&C6) PL10/53

No scheduled use in 2011 timetable.

Tczew - Rokitki Tczewskie

[426] (ERA75B4 not shown, R2) PL10/55

There are alternative 2km routes approaching Tczew at ground level or on a lengthy embankment over the goods yard access lines. Arrival routes cannot be confirmed as all platforms can be reached from the ground level line but departures from Platforms 1 & 2 must use the ground level route. Through trains to and from Gdynia probably use the high level lines to reduce conflicting movements.

Gdynia Stocznia

[450/451 & 452] (ERA75B5 not shown, R2) PL11/57

The SKM local and main lines take separate routes with Gdynia Stocznia station on an elevated section flying over freight lines leading into the docks. Those avoiding this elevated section are shown with a wavy line on table 452.

Gdynia Główny – Rumia

[450/451] (ERA75A5 not shown, R2) PL10/58

Some trains from Hel on table 450 in previous years have not crossed to the main lines at Rumia, but run via a separate line shown on Quail on the East side of Gdynia Chylonia EMU depot and run on the east side of the SKM local lines. Nearing Gdynia they used a connection down to join lines from the PKP locomotive depot, carriage sidings and docks and a dive-under to arrive at platforms on the west side of Gdynia Glówny. Part or all of this route may also apply to departing trains, but which if any are currently scheduled this way is not known.

Suwałki

[537] (ERA75B4 not shown correctly, B12) PL11/59

After a brief stop at Suwałki to drop arriving passengers, the train engine and stock may continue into a 0.5km headshunt and reverse the coaches onto others already awaiting departure. A traveller reported using the service on three days during the last week of October and no shunt was required there; on a Sunday the seven coaches from Warszawa ran through to Sestokai, and on two other days the rear three coaches were detached and left in Suwałki with the remaing stock going through to Sestokai. 2011 timings are arrive 15:07, depart 15:17.

  • (Hagenwerder [Germany] -) frontier - Ręcszyn - (- Krzewina Zgorzelecka -) Trzciniec Zgorzelecki - frontier (- Hirschfelde [Germany]) (36A2): DB table 220. The section between Ręcszyn and Trzciniec Zgorzelecki is traversed only by trains on DB table 220 (Zittau - Görlitz, presently operated by Connex/Lausitzbahn) as PKP trains on table 260 were withdrawn with the 2000/01 timetable.
