PKP Railways’ board has chosen the route that will connect Warsaw with Poznan and Wroclaw and will be presented to international team. The team will make the final decision on route.
The route will run through uninhabited areas, however railroader warns against protests of inhabitants who do not want a railway in their neighborhood. The vice minister of Infrastructure said that nowhere such investment were carried out without a conflicts.
“Some cases of protests were present- it is a signal for those who will design this route to improve it. The worst thing is insisting on one solution. We have to consider flexible solution and such way is used in this investment.” - Andrzej Massel declared.
The president of PKP Railways Zbigniew Szafrański informed that consortium working on early designs of the route, has proposed three variants. The board has decided that it will recommend the first variant. The cost of building the line “Y” is estimated at 20 billion zlotys. Mr. Szafranski admitted that the line probably will not be built from public funds. “We consider public-private partnership and licensing model” he informed. Mr. Szafranski also added that in case p-p partnership, the grounds would be bought by government and would be a public property, whereas private investor would manage it for few decades. A whole study will be ready in 14 months .The contractor will present a complete (not yet early) analysis, and financing construction of high-speed railway. The line “Y” will amounts to 489 kilometers.
