The Toruń East train station will undergo a transformation that will result in a comfortable, modern, and historically restored facility that meets contemporary travel service standards.

The reconstruction, which began recently, is part of the Station Investment Program for 2016-2023. The program aims to revamp nearly 200 railway stations in the country by 2023. The Toruń Wschodni railway station, a neo-Gothic building constructed in 1909, will retain its historic façade and other architectural details while undergoing renovation. The interior of the station will be entirely re-designed, with historical details combined with modern styling. The building will be made more accessible to travelers with reduced mobility by eliminating architectural barriers and incorporating tactile boards, Braille signage, and hearing amplification devices at ticket windows.

The reconstructed building will also have energy-efficient lighting and automation, BMS to supervise building systems, and a rainwater collection tank. The surrounding area will also transform, including the addition of a new parking lot, new paving, small architecture elements, and greenery. The investment in Toruń East railway station is part of the BiT City II project, implemented by PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A., Polskie Koleje Państwowe S.A., and the City. The reconstruction project is expected to be completed in 2024.
