On June 1 this year the next stage of modernization of the Warszawa Stadion train stop started. The suburban city-cross line was closed and trains are not running between Dworzec Wschodni and Dworzec Śródmieście. The works should be finished by July 24. Some FUR and UR trains have been directed to other routes, others are running on the shortened routes. Substitute transport has been launched.
The rebuilding of the Warszawa Stadion stop is connected with the preparations to the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship. The stop will be adapted to the needs of persons who have difficulties with moving – lifts and escalators will be built. Platforms will be rebuilt and roofed. Underpasses and tracks will be modernized. Works (the costs are of 64 million. PLN) will have been finished by November.
Organisation of the FUR train routes
Line S1
Line S2
The trains of the line S2 are running on the route Sulejówek Miłosna – Dworzec Gdański and are not stopping at Dworzec Wschodni only in the morning (from the first one till 10 a.m.).
