Centralny Port Komunikacyjny – managers of the ‘Solidarity Transport Hub’ and Rail Baltica held an in-person workshop in Warsaw on 24th-25th October to discuss modern connectivity in Europe. The two mega-projects aim to ensure modern connectivity for Poland and the Baltic states and establish an effective link to the European railway network.
The workshop focused on the operational concept of Rail Baltica, including timetables and potential routes in Poland and beyond. The discussion also touched upon potential final destinations beyond Poland, including the Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia, Ukraine, and Austria, as part of a medium- and long-term vision for the TEN-T network and railway infrastructure projects planned in Eastern Europe and the Baltics. Both parties deliberated on traffic demand data and transport forecast outcomes for the Rail Baltica corridor spanning between Poland and the three Baltic countries. They explored the alignment of their respective operational models within the RailSys software and the potential for harmonising Rail Baltica and CPK models. The workshop aims to promote cooperation by facilitating the exchange of knowledge, experience, and insights on important topics and common challenges.
