The reconstruction of Łódź Fabryczna station into an underground, multi-level railway station integrated with a multimodal hub combining suburban and long-distance rail, bus, urban transport, and car traffic. Four platforms were placed underground, and the facility was designed as a through station for the future cross-city tunnel and the planned high-speed rail network. The station was cleared for operation in December 2016.

Significance

The largest underground multimodal station of its kind in Poland, integrating rail, long-distance bus, urban transport, and car traffic in a single facility in the centre of Łódź. The facility remains a terminus until the completion of the cross-city tunnel connecting Łódź Fabryczna with the Łódź Kaliska and Łódź Żabieniec stations, whose opening has been repeatedly delayed; only after it is put into service will the station begin to function as a through station and fully use the infrastructure it was designed for.

Every fact on this card comes from the sources below. Next to each source – which fields it supports.

Independence is counted the same way the gate that admits a record counts it: subdomains and titles from one publisher are a single voice, Wikipedia is zero. That is why the number is lower than the number of links. Three is the minimum.

A “wiki” mark means the value stands on Wikipedia alone. Our count of independent sources treats it as zero, so read such a place as less firmly documented than the rest of the card – that applies to an outcome row, a figure, a date and a status alike.
