the list of railway lines under liquidation procedure, developed by the foundation ProKolej based on data from PKP PLK, is 443.3 km of railway lines. These are fragments or whole sections of 33 railway lines. The largest number is located in Lower Silesia, in Opole, Wielkopolska and Pomerania. Individual sections covered by the procedure are also in the province of Silesia, Podkarpackie, Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Lubuskie and Warmia-Mazury.
– We wish to emphasize that the extension line of the procedure referred to in Article. 9 of the Act on railway transport does not mean its liquidation. This procedure aims to find funds for the continuation of the railway line, thus saving her from liquidation – mark PKP Polish Railway Lines in the information prepared for ProKolej. They add that the decommissioning line would also agree with the minister of infrastructure.
Social activists and local governments have their own ideas on how to turn
The first two examples from the list of zones covered by the procedure of liquidation . Opens her Pomeranian line 212 on the section from Korzybie to Lipusz, though it really is about a 48-kilometer stretch between Bytow and Korzybie (this between Bytow and Lipusz is managed now by a private company). On the section line designed to eliminate the two associations currently operate Draisine that after 15 years of stealing infrastructure gradually bring the line to working condition in order to carry out there tourist transport. They have the support of local government.
– We hope that the governor of Slupsk and Bytów decide to take this beautiful line, but it requires good will on the part of PKP PLK. To railway draisine we are able to prepare a line for journeys, as indeed we are doing for 5 years renovating rides, odkrzaczając tracks and complementing losses. We hope that the liquidation procedure will not lead to the demolition of what for years we care – said “Market of railway” Piotr piece of Slupsk District Railways Draisine.
The second example, the list is extremely picturesque railway line 254 Elblag East – Braniewo. Last season passenger train ran here in 2013, in November 2014 PLK lines excluded from the operation. In June 2015 years manager informed local authorities of their intention to liquidation line due to the “non-coverage of access to railway infrastructure influences for her share.” At the moment the line already have a place of theft track, but PLK has good will and wants to talk with local governments on the transfer line. One of tolkmickich associations no longer even trolleys to operate the line.
A good example of a line which is suitable not only for use for traffic trolleys, but also to the reactivation of passenger trains is also a line from Jelenia Gora to Karpacz listed among the liquidation PLK section of Mysłakowice to Karpacz.
Resort suspend liquidation of line
on behalf of the leadership of the Ministry Deputy Minister Piotr Stomma he assured today, “Railway market” that the Ministry will not agree to the liquidation of the railway lines. – The case list line to the liquidation of course check, but our policy in this regard is unchanged – he stressed. This means that these lines should be safe. Closures may possibly relate to the implementation of decisions taken yet by their predecessors.
More information on this can be found in the response of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Construction, the interpellation Mr Paul Grabowski on plans to decommission railway lines in the Opole region. As we read in the position of MIB, it is currently analyzing the situation in PKP PLK, and in the first place to check out are the investment plans and maintenance. With the Ministerial Declaration clearly it indicates that at the behest of the Ministry will be revised assumptions of liquidation. – Resort, recognizing the need for optimal grid connection, initiated the work of establishing a target level of railway infrastructure on the territory of Poland. As part of the work has been taken following measures, among others, to suspend liquidation of the railway lines and systemic departure from the liquidation of the railway infrastructure managed by PKP Polish Railway Lines SA – says Secretary of State Peter Stomma in response to the interpellation.
However, line 304, by which asks Mr Grabowski, hope It is gone. Explains Peter Stomma – the decision to demolish was taken over 10 years ago and accepted by the then Minister of Transport. After dismantling the rails area where there is successively passed to local governments.
New opening for local governments?
– According to the forthcoming multi-annual program entitled. “Assistance in financing the costs of managing the railway infrastructure, including its maintenance and repairs for the years 2016-2023″, made modifications to the existing categorization of railway lines, which resulted in further liquidation of abandoned rail lines, which were originally intended to eliminate. The program also envisages to prevent degradation provided primarily to the liquidation of the railway lines, so that the infrastructure was still passable and meet the conditions for rail traffic – says the response to the interpellation.
At the same time Secretary of State in the MIB declares openly talks with local governments where they see opportunities for better or for other use of the degraded infrastructure of the station.
– PKP SA is carrying out a broad program of cooperation with local government units and organs of the State Treasury. Its aim is the optimal management of real estate, which due to significant changes in technology and the market lost its usefulness to the business of the company. PKP SA may transfer their property free of charge, by agreement, the ownership of local government units, for purposes related to infrastructure projects serving tasks own these units in the field of transport – writes undersecretary of state in the MIB.
