First classification
In 2005, the Department of Railroad Stations of the Polish State Railways divided the most important stations of the nation into four categories. These categories were named from A to D, based on number of passengers, visiting the stations annually.[1]
- Category A (16 stations) - more than 2 million passengers annually,
- Category B (22 stations) - between 1 and 2 million passengers annually,
- Category C (35 stations) - between 300,000 - 1 million passengers annually,
- Category D (4 stations) - fewer than 300,000 passengers annually.
