History
Opened 1949
Polish State Railways

Warsaw Śródmieście (Polish: Warszawa Śródmieście) is a railway station in Warsaw, Poland in the district of Śródmieście. The station serves the suburban tracks of the Warsaw Cross-City Line, used by regional trains run by Koleje Mazowieckie and Szybka Kolej Miejska. There are two side platforms and one island platform serving two tracks, all located in a tunnel.

The station is connected by an underground pedestrian passage to Warsaw Central railway station which serves long distance trains. The station Warszawa Śródmieście WKD serving as the terminus for the Warszawska Kolej Dojazdowa light rail line is located on the other end of Warsaw Central.

The first station with this name opened in 1949 in a cutting (now covered) between Marchlewskiego (now Jana Pawła II) and Emilii Plater streets, a few hundred metres to the west of the current location. It had two side platforms, and a simple wooden station building on the street level. It served both suburban and long-distance trains.

The present structure was built between 1955 and 1963. The overground part consists of two rectangular buildings without any facilities, being effectively oversized shelters for staircases leading to the platforms, ticket offices etc. The station underwent a refurbishment in 2006-2007.

The station offers convenient transfers to the nearby Centrum metro station as well as a large number of trams and buses.
