There are several of these abandoned forts all over the perimeter of the city of Toruń, 1 is a museum, another is a hotel and several others are used in a variety of ways including active storage.

This one is fully stripped, I used to walk by it a lot (First 2 winter photos are from then) before I decided to venture inside a few months ago, it is mostly empty ammunition storage and barracks.

Does anyone have any further examples?

Interested on Opinions of a formerly regional rail service that is slowly being turned in to a Commuter Rail service, while the project is a long way from being finished, They have made some progress and will be opening the first new station in the summer (Fordon Stare Miasto) and the rebuilt station (Fordon) shortly after

As of now, Only 6-10 trains run daily on this route, normally the full regjonal route from Bydgoszcz to Chełmża, with 2 or 3 running the full route from Bydgoszcz to Toruń. Fordon currently is connected by a Tram and a few bus routes to the rest of Toruń, however it can easily be 40-50 minutes to get to the Center of the City depending on traffic. The trams also have a capacity problem and fill up and don't allow people to board them.

Instead of increasing capacity on the already strained tram line, The city has decided to attempt to revitalize the old regional rail route, it isnt inactive however there is only a train every hour from 6-8 and from 2-5 and then otherwise you can be waiting up to 3 hours for a train. However, The city has almost completed a new terminus station (Fordon Miasto) where trains can terminate at the end of the city and head to the center of the town instead of running the full regional route.

While future frequency's are unkown, judging by the size of Bydgoszcz and comparing to other commuter rail services, We can expect trains every 30-50 minutes depending on the time of day. There will also be a new tram route (Last photo, Planned route in the pink dotted line) that is currently in environmental planning phase connecting the station with the main tram line.

Sadly most sources are in polish and the project is only completing its first phase with further phases in question still.

Im wondering if anyone knows of a similar example of a barely used railway line being repurposed or revitalized
