Ministry of Infrastructure
Construction Programme
of high speed railways in Poland
PKP Polish Railway Lines JSC is currently conducting:
preparatory works for designing and constructing high
speed lines till 2020
conceptional works for further development of high
speed network till 2040
Basis of actions are:
Resolution of the Council of Ministers № 276/2008 -
Acceptance of overregional strategy in terms of
constructing and launching high speed rail in Poland
Master Plan for Polish Railway till 2030
Ministry of Infrastructure - Riga, March 24, 2011 2
Planned HS lines are key elements of
Polish railway network
Preparatory works for construction of the new line Warsaw – Łódź –Wrocław/Poznań with link to CMK line.
Preparatory works to adjust E65 South (CMK) line from Warsaw to Katowice and Cracow to parameters of the HS line with extension to southern border(feasibility study).
• - I stage: adjustment of the CMK line up to 200 km/h,
• - II stage: modernisation up to 300km/h.
Complementary actions for both projects e.g. rebuilding of junctionsand stations

the „Y” line of the Warsaw – Lodz –
Poznan/Wroclaw 2014–2020 V = 350km/h
the Central Railway Main line (CMK)
adapted to the speed of V 250km/h
other main passenger lines
1. Shortening of travel time:
between the biggest agglomerations in Poland to less than 2 hours.
from the centre of Poland to border regions up to about 3 hours.
from West to East and from North to South of Poland up to 5 – 6 hours.
2. Providing for 80% of Polish citizens an access to HS trains with travel time to the nearest HS station not longer than 1 hour.

The Rail Baltica on Polish territory
Ministry of Infrastructure - Riga, March 24, 2011 11
• The railway E 75 Warszawa – Białystok
– Suwałki – Trakiszki – Polish border, is
part of the Ist corridor defined as Rail
Baltica.
• The railway connects Helsinki via Tallinn,
Riga and Kaunas with Warszawa.
• It is the only rail connection between the
Baltic States and Poland, with the
possibility of connections to other capitals
like Prague, Berlin and Vienna, as the Ist
corridor connects in Warsaw with the IInd
(railway E 20) and VIth (railway E 65)
corridors.
• In future it will be possible to extend the
line to St. Petersburg.
The route of the Rail Baltica
In 2007 the European Commissionordered a study. Material by COWI contains information on current state of rail infrastructure of the Ist corridor in Baltic States and Poland. The studyexplicitly proved, that the corridorwill be, in the first place, designatedfor freight transport.

The route of the Rail Baltica

Bearing in mind the need for
environmental protection,
particularly in the area
of Augustów, it is proposed to
change the route of the Rail
Baltica corridor over a section
beetwen Białystok and Suwałki
and routing it to an alternative
rail link to the Ełk - Olecko
rather than as now by Sokółka -
Augustów.
Modernization of the Rail
Baltica (1)
• The total length of the line for modernisation -374 km
• The main goal is modernisation the Polish part of Rail Baltica in order to fulfil the requirements contained in the AGC and AGTC agreements –top speed of 160 km/h (with possibility of max. speed of 200 km/h on certain sections) for passenger trains and 120 km/h for freight trains, with max. pressure on axle of 221 kN/axle.
Ministry of Infrastructure - Riga, March 24, 2011 14
Modernization of the Rail Baltica (2)
At present time the Rail Baltica modernisation is implemented through the following projects co-financed by the EU funds:• Project ISPA/FS no 2002/PL/16/P/PA/008 technical assistance for
the preparation of the „E 75 line modernization on the Warsaw –Białystok – Sokółka – Suwałki – Trakiszki section (Rail Baltica)”;
• Projects co-financed within the framework of the Operational Program Infrastructure and Environment 2007 – 2013:– „Modernization of the E 75 Rail Baltica railway line Warsaw-Białystok-
Lithuanian border line, stage 1. Warsaw Rembertów-Zielonka-Tłuszczsection” (basic list);
– preparation works for project mentioned above (basic list);– „Modernization of the E 75 Rail Baltica railway line Warsaw-Białystok-
Lithuanian border line, stage 1. Suwałki-Trakiszki- Lithuanian border line section” (reserve list)
Ministry of Infrastructure - Riga, March 24, 2011 15
Project
ISPA/FS No 2002/PL/16/P/PA/008

• The total cost of the project according to EC Decision is 2 400 000,00 EUR.
• The project ISPA/FS No 2002/PL/16/P/PA/008 is implemented under the three contracts.

On 24 June, 2010, the Ministry of Infrastructure has signed a Memorandum
of Understanding – the Republic of Poland undertakes to complete its
commitments and projects from basic list OPI&E are foreseen for completion
in the financial perspective 2007-2013.
Project from reserve list OPI&E is foreseen for completion within the
framework of the next financial perspective 2014-2020.
Other projects
• Project for the electrification of the section Suwałki - Trakiszki (pilot implementation: traction power supply system 25 kV AC).
• In this year PKP PLK S.A. performs the maintenance works (e. g. modernisation of the railway crossings) on the Rail Baltica line.
• PKP PLK S.A. is actively involved in cooperation with Lithuanian partners in the implementation of investment of the Rail Baltica
