Hubs and networks structure The heart of a multi-modal transport hub will be the new train station. The station will be moved underground and equipped to handle the high speed railway and conventional rail Railway station platforms will be located at the level of minus 16.5 m below ground level, while part of the bus station will be located 8 meters below ground level Total cost of investment is over 400 million EURO Investment will be completed by 2015 Final Transnational meeting I 19 th -21 th September I Page 21

Summary of partner situation List Pros and Cons linked to your situation PROS Good cooperation between the rail companies and the local government. Coherency of multimodal project activities related to the revitalization of the area (the NCL). Provided funding and advanced engineering work on railway projects and EC-1. The possibility of further expansion of railway infrastructure (tunnels). The strategic importance of the Łódź - Warsaw Railway Line. Location at the crossroads of II and VI Pan-European Corridor and Rail Batlica route. Location at the center of Poland at intersection of highways: A1 and A2 and expressways S8 and S14. Close to the capital city (120 km). CONS Freezing work on the Polish HS project. Lack of a strategic approach - the need to learn how to manage a portfolio of projects rather than individual project.
