Modernisation

Renovation of the railway station began in April 2014 and lasted until November 2015. The following aspects were modernised and rebuilt:

• The main station building - renovated the façade of removing old paint and the unveiling of the historic brick (to restore to the original condition), roofing, windows and interior of the building. The entire station building has gained representative character.
• Platforms - all four platforms of the station were modernized and rebuilt. The platforms are equipped with shelters for travelers and electronic information boards.
• Tunnel - existing underpass was rebuilt and extended, and also was added the missing part leading to the street behind the station. In the basement the station will accommodate small shops and services.
• The station square - the square outside the station created a "park & ride" and also the renovated bus station
• Post building - this was used from October 2014 as a temporary station. After completion of the entire project, the building will be transformed into a hotel with 60 seats and a conference hall.

This project was developed within the project "Integration of the urban transport system with the purchase of the tram in Torun - BiT - City". The project was almost 80% co-financed by the European Union. The investment cost of more than 43.5 million zł; the value of the grant 25.6 million zł.
