Warszawa Śródmieście WKD
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Warszawa Śródmieście WKD is the city terminal station of the Warszawska Kolej Dojazdowa (WKD) suburban light rail line in Poland's capital city of Warsaw. It is situated on Aleje Jerozolimskie (Jerusalem Avenue) immediately to the south-west of Warszawa Centralna station.
The station platform is located below ground level to the south of the approach tracks to Centralna station, which can be seen from the platform. It has an unusual layout and method of operation, with a single long platform alongside the southern (city bound) of the WKD's twin tracks. Inbound trains stop at the west end of the platform to unload passengers, before pulling forward to the east end to load. Once ready to depart, they do so via a mid-platform cross-over onto the northern track.
The station has no above ground buildings, save for concrete pavilions that provide weather protection to the staircases that link the platform to the street. Alternative access is provided via an underground shopping mall, which links the station to Warszawa Centralna station and the adjacent tram stops.
Warszawa Śródmieście WKD station should not be mistaken for its near namesake Warszawa Śródmieście PKP, which is a Polskie Koleje Państwowe (Polish State Railway) suburban station situated to the east of Warszawa Centralna.
