The first in my attempt to visit every metro station in Warsaw and Bródno is located at the eastern end of the M2 line. It’s a relatively new station, with construction work starting in 2019 and they found the remains of two bison during the excavations. The station opened to passengers on 28 September 2022 as part of the M2 line extension.
The Catholic parish was established here in 1990 and this rather impressive and modern looking church was constructed in the first few years of this century.
The area is mainly residential blocks of flats built from the 1960s, which makes uncovering the history of this area a little more difficult as there’s not much that seems old. I can’t find any old maps of Warsaw which include this district, but I’m sure they’re out there somewhere….. This station is also intriguing as they’re opening in a few weeks the Metro Stage Theatre, which will operate at the -1 level of the metro station (the trains go from level -2) which adds some culture to arrangements.
The big commercial centre in the area is Factory Annopol, one of the city’s largest factory outlet centres.
As a random aside, I didn’t expect to see outlet shops for Trespass, Regatta and Mountain Warehouse. I don’t need any outdoor related items, but the prices here were rather favourable to say the least.
The station was spotlessly clean and, as with other stations, they don’t seem to have any staff visible. Although everything is so efficient that it would be hard to see what they would need to do.
The bright and welcoming station and an incoming metro train. There is plenty of seating, it’s spacious and the signage is clear throughout.
