Spanning 1.6 kilometres, this tram line will originate at Warsaw West station, featuring an underground station linked to a subterranean passage and the railway station. It will traverse a 500-meter tunnel beneath Five Sisters Park, with its exit situated between the roadways of the Battle of Warsaw 1920, close to Szczęśliwice Park in the Ochota district. From this point, the route will lead to a junction enabling trams to turn towards the city centre, Banacha terminus, or Okęcie, a suburban residential area that houses the Warsaw Chopin Airport.
As for the design, the underground tram stop will be similar to a subway station with the only difference in height, the tram platforms being lower. The platforms will be close to railway and bus stops and will be located on level -2. Escalators and elevators will be built, passengers will not have to go outside to change from the tram to the train.
