The total cost of renovation of the railway station in Skierniewice amounted to PLN 45 million gross. PKP has implemented the investment with the support from the European Funds:

preparation of design documentation was co-financed from the Operational Programme – Infrastructure and Environment for 2014–2020,
construction works were realised from the European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate and Environment 2021–2027 (FEnIKS 2021–2027) programme.

– The concluded investment is a perfect example of a fusion between past and modernity. Thanks to the renovation, which preserved the original architectural elements of the building, it was possible to restore the station in Skierniewice to its former glory. At the same time, the station has become a comfortable space for passengers, adapted to the currently applicable standards, – emphasised Alan Beroud, CEO of PKP S.A.

The modernisation works included, e.g.:

replacement of the roof covering, window and door joinery, while the façade of the building regained its former charm,
additional access points were opened, e.g., from the eastern side, where a pedestrian overpass was installed, connecting the station building with the “Widok” housing estate; two historical access points from the northern and souther sides were also restored. Moreover, a new access point from the southern side was introduced.
the station’s interior is comfortable and modern, including – among other things – a new hall, waiting room, and toilets, which are also adapted to meet the needs of people with disabilities. Furthermore, a socrealistic sgraffito was restored,
adaptation of the building to the needs of people with disabilities – instead of former architectural barriers, new amenities appeared, such as: tactile paving, markings and information available in Braille, as well as typhlographic plans of the station,
installation of modern safety and building management systems.

Railway station in Skierniewice is located near the railway line no. 1, along the Warszawa – Katowice route. The station handles both agglomeration and regional transport, as well as long-distance trains, e.g., to Gdynia, Wrocław, Olsztyn, Białystok, Szklarska Poręba and Zgorzelec. It also serves regional trains to Warsaw, Kutno and Łódź. According to the Office of Rail Transport, 182 trains and as much as 12,800 passengers passed through the station daily in 2024.
