High Speed planning in Poland.

High Speed planning in Poland. Preparation and implementation of high speed lines build Sebastian Mech Praha, 14 November 2007 Preparation and implementation of high speed lines network build Why do we need high speed lines? distances between biggest cities in Poland are more than 300 km speed of 160 km/h is not sufficient in competition with road transport, taking into consideration present and future building of motorways and expressways a chance to be in competition with short-distance airlines, which are still developing 2 1

Preparation and implementation of high speed lines network build Modernisation Plans according to Operational Programme for years 2007-2013 For preparation and implementation of railway projects assumed total amount about 6 billions. The most of them concern modernisation of AGC/AGTC lines. There are also foreseen two projects for preparation of high speed lines. 1. Connection of Warsaw Katowice/Krakow 2. Connection of Warsaw Lodz Wroclaw/Poznan 3 Preparation and implementation of high speed lines network build GDYNIA Railway lines network in Poland. Modernisation plans.

Preparation and implementation of high speed lines network build High speed lines and conventional railway system Implementation of high speed lines and modernisation projects have to take into consideration cooperation two railway systems (conventional and high speed) and complementary each other. Main assumptions for modernisation and development of railway system in Poland The programme accepted in PKP PLK S.A. shows target speeds at lines and also high speed lines. 5 Preparation and implementation of high speed lines network build High speed lines and conventional railway system GDY NIA SŁ UPS K GDAŃSK ELBLĄG KOSZALIN SZCZE CIN GRUDZIĄDZ OLSZTYN Target speeds on lines GORZÓW WLKP.

Preparation and implementation of high speed lines network build A localisation of high speed lines is not accidental. These lines are forming up a kind of backbone of railway system. 7 Preparation and implementation of high speed lines network build High speed line as a backbone of railway system.

Preparation and implementation of high speed lines network build Planed stages of preparation and implementation of high speed lines 1. Connection Warsaw Katowice/Krakow 2. Connection Warsaw Lodz Wroclaw/Poznan 9 Preparation and implementation of high speed lines network build 1. Connection Warsaw Katowice/Krakow Modernisation and extension of the central main line A contract for carrying out feasibility study, design and tender documentation for this project should be signed in the next year. Preparing of whole necessary documentation is expected until 2010/2011. In the feasibility study should be analysed following general options: - modernisation up to 200/220 km/h - modernisation and building line up to 250/270 km/h - modernisation and building line up to 300/350 km/h - reference option (do nothing). 10 5

Connection Warsaw Lodz - Wroclaw/Poznan Building of new line, so-called Y line The call for tender for preparation of feasibility study for this project is foreseen in the next year. A chosen Consultant should make proper financial and technical analysis, taking into consideration possible sources of financing like European funds, state budget and private capital. A getting of financing for this project may be a crucial element enables its implementation on assumed schedule.. 12 6

Preparation and implementation of high speed lines network build 2. Connection Warsaw Lodz - Wroclaw/Poznan Building of new line, so-called Y line Additionally it is assumed directly connection of this project with two other projects concerning modernisation of existing lines. The first of them is modernisation up to 160km/h of line Warsaw Lodz, which is being under implementation. The second one is modernisation of line Lodz Kalisz (up to 120/140 km/h), which is foreseen to implementation in years 2012 2014. These. two modernisations are treated as a stage 0 in point of view implementation of high speed line. 13 Preparation and implementation of high speed lines network build Stages of implementation of Y line INO Stage 0 (Separate project - under implementation) Modernisation of line Warszawa - Łód ź up to v = 160 km/h POZNAŃ LE SZ NO Stage 2A GN IE ZN O WR ZEŚNIA KALISZ OSTRÓW WLKP.
