Poland: Techincal fault prompts significant rail disruptions in Poland March 17

Event

Significant rail service disruptions are ongoing throughout Poland's national railway network March 17 due to an earlier technical fault that has since been resolved. Multiple rail services were subject to hours-long delays and cancellations. Inter-city and long-distance services continue to be subject to lengthy delays, particularly on routes between Warsaw and Gdansk, as well as long-distance routes out of Krakow.

Moderate to significant rail disruptions will likely linger through the early evening, particularly around Warsaw. Increased demand for alternative transport, including taxis and buses, is likely. Increased traffic congestion is possible, as travelers may use private vehicles instead of public transport.

Advice

Confirm travel arrangements and rail schedules. Allow additional time to reach destinations through the early evening of March 17.
