@quinn @rampagerslife i genuinely don't understand the purpose of that stop

fucking Paris-Berlin ICE stops there (idk if it still does in the new schedule tho) for some fucking reason

why

@rail @quinn @rampagerslife consider: Zachodnia is way closer to Centralna than Hbf is to Südkreuz, not to mention Spandau

@quinn @rail @rampagerslife comparison with Spandau, or Gesundbr? both are way bigger stations than Okęcie is, not to mention that Okęcie is on a line that leads to utterly nowhere ( Radom )

@ptrc @rail @rampagerslife with Spandau, and if you ran bus shuttle to the airport (or run long-distance trains directly to the airport as a terminus)

@quinn @rail @rampagerslife i'm not sure i follow, Spandau is still way more significant than either W-Okęcie or W-Lotnisko Chopina, having four platforms, S-Bahn connections to alternative paths and a massive mall attached to it

@ptrc @rail @rampagerslife i'd guess one of the most important airports of the country is about as effective in attracting passengers as a larger settlement like western berlin

@quinn @rail @rampagerslife oh i wish
PKP seriously dropped the ball on this one, so the station is just a single terminus platform with two tracks, and max 4 trains per hour, with not much capacity for more of anything

not to mention that W-Okęcie is in the middle of nowhere with hilariously long viaduct pathways just to get to a bus stop (pictured)
3D view of the Warszawa Okęcie train station, with a viaduct starting at the platform, then extending 100 metres in the same direction as the platform before splitting; then, towards the left it crosses a 6-lane highway and a 4-lane connecting road, before finally descending off the screen down three flights of stairs onto a bus stop

@ptrc @rail @rampagerslife Düsseldorf Flughafen would have a similar layout here, with just two tracks at the terminal stop, and the reason why it works for Fernverkehr being the SkyTrain

@quinn @rail @rampagerslife but then, Düsseldorf Flughafen (the station) is also placed on a line that connects with Hbf on one side and the rest of Ruhr on the other side, so there's more demand for proper long-distance traffic

south of Warszawa Okęcie there's... well, you can connect to Kraków, but most trains take the proper "high"-speed line instead, so it's only used for ICs that connect with other cities on the way
