Warszawa Śródmieście PKP station

Warszawa Śródmieście PKP station ( _en. Warsaw City Centre) is a railway station on the Warsaw Cross-City Line, used mainly by suburban trains. There are two side platforms and one island platform serving two tracks, all located in a tunnel. When a train arrives, the doors on the left-hand side open first, allowing passengers to get off onto the island platform, and after a while, the doors on the other (right-hand) side open, to allow boarding. Fact|date=April 2008 (This system is often called the Spanish solution.)

The station is connected by an underground pedestrian passage to Warszawa Centralna station.

The first station with this name opened in 1949 in a cutting (now covered) between Marchlewskiego (now Jana Pawła II) and Emilii Plater streets, a few hundred metres to the west of the current location. It had two side platforms, and a simple wooden station building on the street level. It served both suburban and long-distance trains.

The present structure was built between 1955 and 1963. The overground part consists of two rectangular buildings without any facilities, being effectively oversized shelters for staircases leading to the platforms, ticket offices etc. The station underwent a refurbishment in 2006-2007.
