On 15 February 2011, Tychy Public Transport Company [pl] signed a contract with Przedsiębiorstwo Robót Komunikacyjnych for the construction of the Tychy Lodowisko, Tychy Aleja Bielska, and Tychy Grota-Roweckiego stations, as well as the modernization of the Tychy Zachodnie railway station [pl].[3][4]

All these stations were opened on 1 September 2012. On the same day, Przewozy Regionalne extended the routes of their trains, previously terminating at Tychy Miasto railway station [pl], to Tychy Lodowisko.[5] On 9 December 2012, the operation of the station, along with the entire Szybka Kolej Regionalna [pl], was taken over by Koleje Śląskie.[6] On 18 December 2012, Tychy authorities signed a contract with Aldesa Construcciones for the construction of two park and ride facilities (each with 352 parking spaces) at the Tychy Lodowisko railway station and Tychy railway station.[7][8] The parking facility was opened on 29 June 2015.[9]
