High-speed rail (AVE) has been operating in Spain since 1992. They make up over 1/5 of the entire rail network and reach speeds of up to 300 km / h.
Earlier, the CPK started cooperation in the field of consulting, among others, with Great Britain and South Korea. They also conducts workshops with the SNCF French Railways.
The CPK railway program provides for the construction of a new nationwide passenger transport system based on fast connections. As part of the three stages of the program, by the end of 2034, 1,789 km of new railway lines will be built, including 850 km of new high-speed lines, allowing a maximum speed of up to 250 km / h, and whose geometrical parameters will allow for a subsequent increase in this speed of up to 350 km/h, if necessary.
The Central Communication Port is a planned transfer node between Warsaw and Łódź, which will integrate air, rail and road transport. As part of this project, the Solidarność Airport will be built 37 km west of Warsaw, on an area of approximately 3,000 hectares, which in the first stage will be able to handle 45 million passengers per year. CPK is 100% owned by the State Treasury.
