A government programme to build, rebuild and revitalise local railway lines, delivered by PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe. It covers 35 tasks in more than half of the voivodeships, with a budget of PLN 13.2 billion. More than PLN 11 billion of that is PKP PLK money from a capital injection and the rest comes from local governments. In June 2025, 34 tasks had tenders announced or awarded. The line to Turek, whose cost rose from PLN 660 million to over PLN 1.1 billion, and the Katowice – Jastrzębie-Zdrój line have dropped out. This is a programme record and is not added to cost totals.

Significance

The programme aims to connect towns of more than 10,000 residents that have no passenger rail access, or whose existing services need improving. The deputy infrastructure minister called the minimum of four train pairs on programme routes far too few. Opposition MPs cite a ministry reply under which some tasks may need the programme extended to 2032.

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.
