Translations:Warszawa Centralna/4/en

It is now the most important station for long-distance traffic in Warsaw, and also receives a small portion of suburban traffic. It has 4 double-edge platforms to handle all traffic. Platforms 1 and 2 generally serve the eastern direction, while 3 and 4 serve the western direction. This rule is quite strictly adhered to, as the station has no turnout crossings on the east side - they were abandoned due to the existence of curves with small reverse radii in the tunnel. This often causes problems in emergency track closures - forcing some long-distance traffic to run through the suburban line. The station is controlled from a single switchboard "WDC", which is equipped with relay equipment with traffic lights.[1]
