Gdańsk Nowy Port is a former SKM stop in Gdańsk, Poland. It is no longer used since December 15 2002, after shortening the line Gdańsk - Nowy Port line to Brzeźno. Despite future plans of re-opening the line it is very unlikely that this stop would be restored, as the access to it has been imposible since November 2005.

The line

The line connecting Gdańsk Główny ("Danzig Hbf.") with Gdańsk Nowy Port ("Danzig Neufahrwasser") was opened in October 1867. It had been electrified in 1951, and the voltage was changed (from 800 V) into standard 3kV in 1973. The line served mostly as the transport route for shipyard workers who commuted to the Gdańsk Shipyard. On December 15 2002 the line was shortened to reach only Gdańsk Brzeźno. On June 25 2005 the line was completely closed for passenger service.
