Krakowski szybki tramwaj | Cracow Rapid Tram

The tram tunnel is the central part of two planned "rapid tram" lines in Cracow, which will use some upgraded sections of the existing tram network and some new tracks. The tunnel section includes two underground stations ("Central railway station" and "Technical University") and end with an interchange station in an open cutting at Rondo Mogilskie. Most parts of the tunnel incl. the station under the railway station were already built in the 1980s.

TRAM ATLAS POLAND

In Poland, numerous first-generation tram systems have survived, including the large networks in Warsaw, Kraków, Poznan, Lodz, Wroclaw and the trams in the Upper Silesian industrial area around Katowice. In Olsztyn, a completely new system opened in 2015. This book covers all the Polish cities which have trams as well as the three cities with trolleybuses. The country's only metro system, that in the capital Warsaw, is included too.The book is illustrated with detailed network maps, and hundreds of colour photographs of almost all the current rolling stock and numerous metro stations
