General information[]
The station was built and opened in 1870 as part of a new railway line from Szczecin to Gdansk. This was the third established railway line in Gdansk (the line Gdańsk-Tczew and the railway line No. 249 to the Port).
On 2 January 1952 the SKM Trojmiasto suburban railway was opened, parallel to the existing line.[1]
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.
