In 2023, it served 24.9 million passengers, making it the country's second busiest railway station only behind Wrocław Główny.

The entire investment aimed to provide an integrated transport complex for UEFA Euro 2012 in Poznań.

Construction of the new station began in the first half of 2011 and the first phase, a fully operational booking hall and waiting area, was inaugurated by President Bronisław Komorowski on 29 May 2012.

This features 250 retail units, a coach terminal, cycle lanes and a park and ride facility.

Under a planned third phase, the existing station building would be redeveloped with conference, office and hotel facilities.
