I was only in Warsaw for a few hours before it was necessary to return to the airport for the next part of my little expedition. In the centre-left of the photo is Warszawa Śródmieście railway station.

Down to the platforms.

The station was built between 1955 and 1963, initially using the Spanish solution of platforms (where passengers disembark from one side and get on from the other side) although they had abandoned that by the 1980s.

It would not be unkind to say that the station is past its best.

The station was modernised a bit in 2006, but has remained fairly unloved since then.

This book stall hasn’t been open in the years that I’ve been using this station.

The station is useful for S2 connections to Chopin airport, and this journey means that it’s the end of another Warsaw trip. This one was really quiet brief.
