History
On 15 February 2011, Tychy Public Transport Company signed a contract with Przedsiębiorstwo Robót Komunikacyjnych in Kraków for the construction of the Tychy Lodowisko, Tychy Aleja Bielska, and Tychy Grota-Roweckiego railway stations, as well as the modernization of the Tychy Zachodnie railway station.[3][4] Initially, plans involved rebuilding the Tychy Miasto railway station, but constructing a new railway station was chosen as a more cost-effective solution.[5]
All three stations opened on 1 September 2012. On the same day, Przewozy Regionalne extended its train services, previously terminating at Tychy Miasto, to Tychy Lodowisko.[6] On 9 December 2012, Koleje Śląskie took over operations of the stop and the entire Szybka Kolej Regionalna network.[7]
