Paralysis M2: What happened and which stations are disabled?
This morning, just after 9:00 a.m., the traffic control strategy at Trocka Station collapsed unexpectedly, prompting a domino effect on the east section of the second metro line. Passengers heading towards Brodno heard messages about the request to leave the train, which for many meant abrupt change of plans and search for alternate routes. As a consequence of the fault, 4 stations were completely excluded from the movement, which constitute key interchange points for thousands of residents of the right-wing Warsaw. This is about stations:

- Kondratovich
- Silence
- Trocka
Currently, the M2 metro only runs to the Town Fair station, which effectively cuts off the full settlements from fast transport. The press office of the Warsaw Metro confirms that a method squad is already working on the site, whose task is to diagnose and remove the defect. The accident that occurred during the morning rush hour, has great impact on punctuality and comfort of travel, forcing passengers to search for alternate connections and to account for crucial delays that can scope up to 30-40 minutes.

This is the key information for all those who hoped to get to the subway rapidly – now it is the replacement buses that are the only direct alternative.
Remember, however, that the bus ride will be much longer than by metro. During highest hours, the streets of Targówka and Brodna are frequently blocked, meaning that commutes can extend by an additional 20-30 minutes compared to standard travel time. It is recommended to check current ZTM schedules and information through mobile applications or websites.
