At Kontakt 24, we received information from a passenger on the S1 SKM line in Warsaw that the train stopped on a viaduct, and only after an hour people were evacuated from the train. We contacted the SKM press office in Warsaw regarding this matter. – Due to problems with the power supply of the traction network at the Warszawa Wschodnia station beyond SKM's control, SKM trains on lines S1 and S2 in both directions may be delayed for more than 60 minutes. SKM trains on line S3 from 21:15 they will run through the station until further notice Warsaw Gdansk and the peripheral line, bypassing the long-distance cross-city line and the Warszawa Centralna, Warszawa Wschodnia stations and the Warszawa Targówek stop – Karol Adamaszek, press spokesman for the Fast Urban Railway in Warsaw, told the editorial office of Kontakt 24.

– When the breakdown occurred, our vehicles were at stations or stops, unfortunately one of the S1 line trains, traveling towards Otwock, was immobilized on the viaduct over ul. Targowa. Our procedures worked, the train manager immediately called the fire brigade, which helped evacuate passengers towards the nearest stop at the National Stadium. The evacuation ended at 10:15 p.m. We are waiting for further information from the infrastructure manager, PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe, regarding the power failure and its removal, said Karol Adamaszek.
