PKP secures over PLN 145 million in EU funding to modernise four stations, improving accessibility, safety and passenger experience across northern Poland.
Polish State Railways has secured more than PLN 145 million in co-financing to modernise four railway stations in northern Poland, strengthening passenger infrastructure and regional connectivity.
The funding agreement, signed with the Centre for EU Transport Projects, supports upgrades at Koszalin railway station, Słupsk railway station, Gdynia Chylonia railway station and Stargard railway station. The programme is funded through the European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate and Environment 2021 to 2027, with 85 percent EU contribution and 15 per cent national funding.
EU backed upgrades to improve accessibility and passenger experience
The investment will support a combination of construction, reconstruction and modernisation works, alongside improvements to surrounding public spaces. All projects form part of the Railway Station Investment Programme and align with the Passenger Friendly Stations initiative launched in 2025.
At Koszalin, a completely new station will be built, with completion expected in 2028. In Słupsk, construction of a new station is already at an advanced stage, including interior finishing and landscaping works, supporting wider upgrades along the corridor connecting the city to the Tricity area.
In Stargard, the historic station building and adjacent facilities will undergo modernisation, with a design contractor currently being procured. Completion is targeted by the end of 2029. Meanwhile, Gdynia Chylonia station remains in the design phase, with construction expected to begin following a tender process later this year and completion planned for 2028.
Paweł Lisiewicz of PKP said EU funding has played a transformative role in revitalising Poland’s railway network, improving reliability and restoring passenger confidence. He emphasised that stations are increasingly seen as integral parts of the overall journey experience, as well as important public spaces within local communities.
Across all four locations, the upgraded stations will be fully accessible, incorporating modern safety systems and enhanced passenger amenities. These improvements are expected to increase rail’s attractiveness, support growing passenger demand and strengthen integration within Poland’s wider transport system.
The full programme, covering multiple rail corridors, is scheduled for completion by November 2029, with individual station projects delivered in phases ahead of that deadline.
