In Greater Poland, changes not yet mentioned are concentrated in the southern parts of the voivodeship. The Warsaw-Łódź-Wrocław slower P line gets a branch to Zielona Góra via Krotoszyn, Leszno and Głogów splitting off of every other train in Kalisz. The highly-contested town (you wouldn't believe how many fights have been fought over the proposed HSL routing through Kalisz) is getting HSR trains calling every hour, up from every other hour. Two alternating RE lines have been proposed for the Poznań arm of the high-speed Y - RE19 Poznań-Jarocin-Pleszew-Kalisz and RE20 Poznań-Pleszew-Ostrów Wielkopolski (found on the regional map as RE2 and RE1 respectively, totally not confusing). Indeed, all long-distance traffic is pulled from Środa Wielkopolska and ran over the HSL, including Szczecin-Poznań-Ostrów-Katowice-Kraków trains (now upgraded from P to Ex) and the P5 (Szczecin-)Poznań-Lublin, now rerouted via Jarocin, Sieradz, Łódź and Radom, among others. All this leaves a greater mix of speeds and stopping patterns between Poznań and Pleszew - hopefully worth it.
I also note the extension of the planned reactivation of the Leszno-Gostyń line one station further, to Piaski Wielkopolskie. I can't see any obvious reason for that, but perhaps a small agglomeration effect can be induced with this?
