Lower Silesia railway modernization and speed records

Overview

Rail travel in the Lower Silesia region of Poland has seen significant improvements in speed and efficiency due to infrastructure modernization and fleet upgrades. A new speed record was set on the Kłodzko to Wrocław line, with a PESA Elf train completing the journey in 56 minutes, which is 10 minutes faster than the previous record.

These advancements are driven by systematic track revitalizations by Polskie Linie Kolejowe and fleet expansions by Koleje Dolnośląskie. The improvements are supported by substantial funding from the National Recovery Plan (KPO) and the FEniKS program, including nearly 150 million PLN allocated for additional Elf electric multiple units. Ongoing projects, such as the construction of a new passing loop between Bardo and Kłodzko, continue to support increased capacity and accessibility across the region.
