Warsaw’s commuter rail operator (WKD) has ordered six new trains from Newag to increase capacity on morning peak services.

The first of the new sets, which have been purchased under the Swiss-Polish Programme of Cooperation, will be delivered around 18 months from contract signing. Newag expects to complete the order within two years.

The six-car electric vehicles will be 60 metres long with a seating capacity of 164 and a maximum speed of 80 km/h.

Around 124.7 million zł is being invested altogether in new rolling stock, station enhancements and the installation of a new passenger information system.
