, Poland's fifth-largest city, and capital of the Greater Poland Province. The station is located at a junction of Warsaw–Kunowice railway, Wrocław–Poznań railway, Kluczbork–Poznań railway, Poznań–Szczecin railway and Poznań–Piła railway. The train services are operated by PKP, Polregio and Koleje Wielkopolskie.


Investment and modernization

PKP began planning a modernisation of the station in 2007. In 2009 it began negotiations with seven companies specialising in investments in commercial real estate. A 160 million euro investment agreement was signed with developer Trigranit Development Corporation, paving the way for the construction of an integrated transport centre including a rebuilt station, car parking and a coach station. The station and the surrounding area are being completely rebuilt, and connected to the bus station and the international congress/convention centre. The entire investment aimed to provide an integrated transport complex for

in Poznan. Construction of the new station began in the first half of 2011, and the first phase, a fully operational booking hall and waiting area, was inaugurated by President Bronisaw Komorowski on 29 May 2012. The old booking hall still exists but is not currently in use for passengers. An integrated transport hub and shopping centre was opened on 25 October 2013. This features 250 retail units, a coach terminal, cycle lanes and a park and ride facility. Due to the city's 2010 budget deficit, which resulted from using public funds to build a municipal stadium, the city of Poznan announced that most of the promised investment will be significantly delayed in time, and could remain un-financed even up to 2016. Under a planned third phase, the existing station building would be redeveloped with conference, office and hotel facilities. A study by ''TTS'' trade magazine informed in 2014 that the new building was already completed.

The railway authorities in Warsaw did not want to give this land to the City of Poznan, despite not using it. After long negotiations, the Integrated Transportation Centre (Pol. "Zintegrowane Centrum Komunikacyjne") is being built on it.
