Location

For the eastern terminal of the WKD suburban rail line, see Warszawa Śródmieście WKD railway station.

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

History

The first station with this name opened in 1949 in a cutting (now covered) between Marchlewskiego (currently Jana Pawła II) and Emilii Plater streets, a few hundred meters 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.

Connections

The station offers convenient transfers to the nearby Centrum metro station as well as a large number of trams and buses. The station is connected by an underground pedestrian passage to Warszawa Centralna railway station which serves long distance trains.
