Pabianice station is a railway station located in the town of Pabianice, Łódź Voivodeship, Poland. According to PKP it has the status of a regional station. It serves mainly regional traffic between Łódź and Sieradz, although it is also a stopping point for PKP Intercity services between Warsaw and Wrocław.
History The station was built as part of the Warsaw-Kalisz Railway, which was opened in 1902. The main building of the station was made in the Renaissance Revival style, the same which was used for other smaller stations of the line such as those in Łowicz, Zgierz, Łask, Zduńska Wola and Sieradz. Unlike some of the latter stations, this one has retained its original facades despite major refurbishment in 1934, 2005 and 2011.
From 1902 until 2019 the station utilized 3 platforms: one single-edged and two double-edged, but each platform acted like single-edged. From 2019 till September 2020 the platform layout of the station was changed due to refurbishment of the railway served by station. The new layout consists of one island platform and one side platform, each connected with an underground passage.
From 1924 to 1968 the station served as a terminal stop for a tram line, which runs from Łódź via Ksawerów. In 1968 the tram terminal was dismantled after the construction of a turning loop near the intersection of Łaska and Wiejska streets, located 300 m southwest of the station.
