Pomorska Kolej Metropolitalna
The Pomorska Kolej Metropolitalna (PKM, 'Pomeranian Metropolitan Railway'), is a railway in the Tricity area connecting Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport with Wrzeszcz. The line was officially opened by the Prime minister of Poland Ewa Kopacz on 30 August 2015 and regular train services started on 1 September 2015. The line is owned by the Pomeranian Voivodeship and managed by the Pomorska Kolej Metropolitalna, a company wholly owned by the voivodeship. Services on the line are provided by SKM and Polregio. The railway line was constructed on the right-of-way of a pre-war line from Stara Piła to Wrzeszcz. At its northern end, the line connects with the existing, not electrified line to Gdynia, via Gdańsk Osowa and Wielki Kack. An advantage of re-opening this connection is that no buildings have had to be torn down, as the right-of-way of the old line is undisturbed and has not been encroached on anywhere. The PKM line is 19.5 km long and connects at both ends with the SKM ...
