INFORMATION PORTAL OF THE MARSHAL'S OFFICE OF THE KUJAWSKO-POMORSKIE Region IN TORUŃ

On 150 kilometers of tracks in our region, the state-owned company PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe (PKP PLK), which manages the national railway network, is carrying out large-scale investments. In just a few months, trains will be able to run at 160 kilometers per hour on the first modernized sections, and in the next steps we will be able to run more trains at more convenient times for passengers. Today at the Marshal’s Office, in the presence of Marshal Piotr Całbecki, Minister of Infrastructure Dariusz Klimczak, and Vice-Minister of Funds and Regional Policy Jan Szyszko, agreements were signed concerning the financing of two such investment projects.

– “These are investments in railway infrastructure on lines of key importance. The result will be the elimination of the most critical bottlenecks in the network. In practice, this means a better timetable, one that responds more effectively to the expectations of residents,” emphasized Marshal Piotr Całbecki.
