Łódź Lublinek (formerly Lublinek) is a small traffic railway station located on the outskirts of Łódź, Poland, in Polesie district, approx. 9 km from the city center and in the direct vicinity of Łódź Władysław Reymont Airport.
The station serves ŁKA regional trains travelling from Łódź Kaliska station to Sieradz, and is a stopping point for freight trains, having 4 tracks for their needs. The only functioning branch line coming out of station serves an aggregate dump ramp located in Smulsko. An inactive branch track leads to a traction substation. Before the 1980s a branch line to a pottery plant was served by the station; currently the line is dismantled, and the only existing remains of it are rails crossing Maratońska street, located in parallel to the railway line, and a pavement following the earlier line of the tracks[1]. The station is served by MPK Łódź bus line 68, running from Retkinia to Port Łódź shopping centre in Chocianowice (68A) or an intersection of Pabianicka and Dubois streets in Górna (68B).
Despite being incorporated into the city of Łódź in 1988, the station did not have the prefix "Łódź" in its name[2] until 14. June 2020, when the current name was introduced after publishing the new timetable.
