General information

The station was built and opened in 1870 as part of a new railway line from Szczecin to Gdańsk. This was the third established railway line in Gdańsk (the line Gdańsk-Tczew and the railway line No. 249 to the Port). On 2 January 1952, the SKM Trójmiasto suburban railway was opened, parallel to the existing line. The station features three island platforms, of which one functions as the regional commuter SKM stop and the other for long-distance services and the Pomorska Kolej Metropolitalna services. The platforms are accessible through two underpasses which connect all six platforms. The ticket offices are open all day long. The station used to be known as ''Danzig Langfuhr'' during Prussian/German rule and

eras.


Signal box

In the early twentieth century (circa 1913) on the railway embankment a control room Gantry was built, the only one of its kind in northern Poland. Architects incorporated into it in the eclectic style of the district. In May 2015, in the face of intention to demolish this unique object by PKP (in all of Poland there are only five such signal boxes, all others are located in the Upper Silesia), it was added to the register of monuments.


Station building

The current station building was opened on 30 November 2023. It replaced the old building commissioned on 8 March 1969. Present building features five teller windows, a waiting room, and a glass wall with a view on the adjacent bus terminal. Along with new building a biking garage was built, however, as of December 2023 it has not been opened yet.
The station was previously renovated between 2014 and 2015. One new platform was built and existing ones were modernized. Accessibility of the station was improved by adding slip-resistant surfaces and aids for the visually impaired. Existing underground passage was also renovated.
Since October 2016, the station offers direct access to Galeria Metropolia shopping centre; the station is also within walking distance of shopping centre, opened in 2007.


History

The old red brick station building can still be seen near the bus stops, where it has been converted to residential flats. A very similar station building is still operational at the Gdańsk Oliwa railway station.
