  2. maps on the website are not available due to an accessibility exemption,

  3. there may be situations where, despite the efforts of the editors of the website, certain documents published on the website are not fully accessible or are inaccessible due to the fact that:

  • other file formats (e.g. presentations, spreadsheets, text documents, multimedia material) may not be compatible with WCAG due to their large size.

The documents will gradually be adapted to WCAG.

Architectural accessibility

PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. Head Office, ul. Targowa 74, 03-734 Warsaw.

The building is listed in the Register of Historic Monuments and therefore the possibility of making changes to the structure of the building to increase accessibility for disabled persons using wheelchairs is limited. However, PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. is in the process of auditing the architectural accessibility of the Head Office building and analysing the needs. Once the documentation is approved by the heritage conservator and a building permit is obtained, it will be possible to proceed with comprehensive implementation of the adopted solutions. Implementation of the adopted solutions is planned from 2023.

  1. No disabled parking spaces have been designated in the immediate vicinity of the building.

  2. Access by public transport bus: Dw. Wileński bus stops 01, 02, 04, 05 (stops accessible to the disabled), Dw. Wileński 09, 10 (stops partially accessible to the disabled).

  3. Access by tram: Dw. Wileński 03, 07, 08 (stops accessible to the disabled).

  4. Access by metro: Dworzec Wileński Metro stop.

  5. There are two entrances to the building for employees, guests and visitors accessible from ul. Targowa and ul. Wileńska. Stairs lead to both entrances. There are no ramps or platforms for wheelchairs next to the stairs.

  6. Currently, the entrances to the building are not accessible to persons with mobility impairments using wheelchairs. An external staircase (5 steps) and an internal staircase (4 steps) must be climbed before reaching the reception desk. The massive, heavy external door does not open automatically. The internal doors open automatically.

  7. The reception desks are located to the right of the entrances accessible from ul. Targowa and ul. Wileńska. Further passage is secured by gates through which a person in a wheelchair can pass.

  8. According to the physical security procedure of the building of PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A.'s Head Office, a visitor or an interested party is not allowed to enter the building without the presence of a Company employee (an inviting employee, a representative of a given unit or a Railway Security Guard if the interested party is wishing to enter the Presidium of the Head Office).

  9. A corridor near the reception desks and access to the lifts is available for wheelchair users. From the lifts, wheelchair users have direct access to the office floors in the segments labelled A, B, D and E. Due to the misalignment between the floors of segment C and the floors of the segments labelled A, B, D and E, access to the office floors of segment C directly from the lifts is difficult due to the stairs. The corridors in segments A, B, D, E are not accessible on the ground floor of the building due to the stairs.

  10. The dimensions of the lifts enable their use by people with mobility impairments using wheelchairs.

  11. There are no toilets adapted for disabled persons in the building.
