More expensive railway infrastructure in 2017
The analysis of PKP PLK S.A. infrastructure access pricelist for 2017, effective as of 29 July, developed by ‘Pro Kolej’ Foundation, shows that passenger and freight carriers will pay more yet again.
Declaration on development of safety culture
At the end of June, ProKolej Foundation signed the Declaration on development of safety culture in rail transport drafted by the Office of Rail Transport. Other signatories include representatives of, among others, carriers, managers, certifying bodies, trade unions, scientific and media circles. The Declaration has been signed by nearly 120 representatives of the rail market.
400 km of railway lines to be liquidated
ProKolej Foundation has published a list of over 400 railway lines to be liquidated by PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. The plan covers 9 provinces, 32 sections and nearly 2.1% of the national railway network (425 km). In the opinion of experts, the main consequence of the liquidation of railway infrastructure will be permanent degradation of the social and economic potential of poorly communicated areas of Poland. The envisaged savings will be illusory.
