In Poland, a total of around €27 billion (PLN 116 billion) was invested in the railway infrastructure between 2004 and 2023 in order to modernise and renew 17,000 km of lines and build new ones. The measures were financed by the state budget and European Union (EU) co-financing. Various EU programmes have enabled railway stations and stops to be modernised, new sections of track to be built and modern transport control and safety systems to be introduced. Infrastructure operator PKP PLK is continuing the investment process in order to further develop the railway infrastructure. An updated National Railway Programme with estimated investments of €38 billion is planned for the future up to 2030, of which €17.8 billion is to be invested in the 2021-2027 financial framework.
