A gem from the 19th century will undergo a transformation. Residents submitted ideas

More and more Polish railway stations are undergoing successful revitalization. The list includes the station in Lublin, which will undergo comprehensive modernization. It was preceded by public consultations conducted in cooperation with the city hall. TVP3 reports that residents have submitted many suggestions regarding the preservation of the building’s historic values ​​and facilities for disabled passengers and cyclists.

Modernization of the station in Lublin

PKP informs that the investment includes adapting the facility to the needs of people with limited mobility, constructing new sanitary, electrical and telecommunications installations, “increasing the commercial potential of the station” and modern development of the passenger service space. The modernization will also improve the appearance and functionality of the part of the station that was added in the 1990s. More details about the modernization will be provided after the consultations are completed and the station reconstruction project is completed. Among the needs that Internet users write about under the consultation entry are, first of all, escalators.

The Lublin station is under the conservation protection of the Provincial Conservator of Monuments. It was built in 1877 and later moved in the 1920s.

A gem from the 19th century after renovation

Recently, the station in Czechowice-Dziedzice has also undergone a major transformation and was officially opened on April 9. The historical appearance of the façade was reproduced in accordance with the recommendations of the conservator. During the work, numerous details were recreated – rustication in the ground floor of the station, as well as Art Nouveau details in the upper parts of the façade. The attics crowning the gables of the eastern and western wings were reconstructed. The bas-relief depicting the “railway axle” (railway symbol) above the main entrance was also restored.
