Four international railway trunk lines cross the voivodship: from Gdańsk via Szczecin to the German border, from Gdynia via Warsaw and Cracow down to the Czech and Slovak border, from Gdynia via Bydgoszcz, Łódź, and Katowice to the western and southern state borders, from Gdynia via Olsztyn to Kaliningrad, or via Białystok to Belarus.
Pomerania has 1350 km of railway lines in operation. The density of the railway network is one of the highest in the country. The high status of the metropolis and region on the railway map of Poland stems from e.g. the fact that a large proportion of the cargo reaching the seaports is delivered by rail.
Based on the existing track lines of the swift commuter trains, extended to include newly laid lines, the metropolitan railway will cover the western districts of Gdańsk and Gdynia, including the Gdańsk airport and – ultimately – the airport in Babie Doły.
The metropolitan railway will be a far quicker means of transport than a private car or bus.
